Discovery of <strong>p53</strong><br />
• Immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical analysis show that the <strong>p53</strong> protein<br />
accumulates in the nucleus of transformed or <strong>tumor</strong> cells. Before 1990, the protein<br />
was believed to be wild type.

<strong>p53</strong> protein<br />
• Human <strong>p53</strong> protein can be divided into five domains, each corresponding to specific<br />
functions:<br />
• I) <strong>The</strong> amino-terminus part 1-42 contains the acidic transactivation domain and the mdm2<br />
protein binding site. It also contains the Highly Conserved Domain I (HCD I).<br />
II) Region 40-92 contains series repeated proline residues that are conserved in the<br />
majority of <strong>p53</strong>. it also contains a second transactivation domain.<br />
III) <strong>The</strong> central region (101-306) contains the DNA binding domain. It is the target of 90% of<br />
<strong>p53</strong> mutations found in human cancers. It contains HCD II to V.<br />
IV) <strong>The</strong> oligomerization domain (307-355, 4D) consists of a beta-strand, followed by an<br />
alpha-helix necessary for dimerization, as <strong>p53</strong> is composed of a dimer of two dimers. A<br />
nuclear export signal (NES) is localized in this oligomerization domain.<br />
V) <strong>The</strong> C-terminus of <strong>p53</strong> (356-393) contains 3 nuclear localization signals (NLS) and a<br />
non-specific DNA binding domain that binds to damaged DNA. This region is also involved<br />
in downregulation of DNA binding of the central domain.
