Mapping Interactions of the Intrinsically Disordered C-Terminal Regions of Tetrameric p53 by Segmental Isotope Labeling and NMR
The C-terminal region of the tumor suppressor protein p53 contains three domains, nuclear localization signal (NLS), tetramerization domain (TET), and C-terminal regulatory domain (CTD), which are essential for p53 function. Characterization of the structure and interactions of these domains within full-length p53 has been limited by the overall size and flexibility of the p53 tetramer. Using trans-intein splicing, we have generated full-length p53 constructs in which the C-terminal region is...
