DNA Bending Is Essential for the Site-specific Recognition of DNA Response Elements by the DNA Binding Domain of the Tumor Suppressor Protein p53
1 Jun 1997
Abstract excerpt
We have used circular permutation assays to determine the extent and location of the DNA bend induced by the DNA binding domain of human wild type p53 (p53DBD) upon binding to several naturally occurring DNA response elements. We have found that p53DBD binding induces axial bending in all of the response elements investigated. In particular, response elements having a d(CATG) sequence at the junction of two...
