P53 Oligomerization is essential for its C-terminal lysine acetylation.


ABSTRACT: Acetylation of multiple lysine residues in the p53 plays critical roles in the protein stability and transcriptional activity of p53. To better understand how p53 acetylation is regulated, we generated a number of p53 mutants and examined acetylation of each mutant in transfected cells. We found that p53 mutants that are defective in tetramer formation are also defective in C-terminal lysine residue acetylation. Consistently, we found that several cancer-derived p53 mutants that bear mutations in the tetramerization domain cannot form oligomers and are defective in C-terminal lysine acetylation, and these mutants are inactive in p21 transactivation. We demonstrated that the acetyltransferase p300 interacts with and promotes acetylation of wild-type p53 but not with any of the artificially generated or human cancer-derived p53 mutants that are defective in oligomerization. These results, combined with a computer-aided crystal structure analysis, suggest a model in which p53 oligomerization precedes its acetylation by providing docking sites for acetyltransferases.
