Abstract excerpt
The transactivation domain (TAD) of tumor suppressor p53 has homologous subdomains, TAD1 and TAD2. Both are intrinsically disordered in their free states, but all structures of TAD1 and TAD2 bound to their target proteins have demonstrated use of an amphipathic α-helix, suggesting that the binding-coupled helix folding mechanism of TAD1 and TAD2 is essential. Although phosphorylation of TAD is important to switch...
