Abstract excerpt
Highly purified p53 protein from different sources was able to degrade DNA with a 3'-to-5' polarity, yielding deoxynucleoside monophosphates as reaction products. This exonuclease activity was dependent on Mg2+ and inhibited by addition of 5 mM nucleoside monophosphates. This exonuclease activity is intrinsic to the wild-type p53 protein: it copurified with p53 during p53 preparation; only purified wild-type p53,...
