Abstract

While the transcription-dependent mechanism of p53 has been extensively studied, recently the transcription-independent apoptotic activity of p53 has also been described. Bcl-2 and Bcl-X(L) interact with p53 and induce apoptosis. Initially, the p53 DNA-binding domain (p53DBD) was found to bind to Bcl-2 and Bcl-X(L). Later, the p53 N-terminal domain (p53NTD) was reported to be sufficient for inducing the transcription-independent apoptotic activity of p53 and also shown to interact with Bcl-X(L). Here, we further document that the transactivation domain of p53 (p53TAD) in p53NTD alone binds to Bcl-X(L). We demonstrated that the MDM2-binding region (residues S15 to N29, herein referred to as SN15) in p53TAD is the binding site for Bcl-X(L). The binding interface on Bcl-X(L) was identified at the hydrophobic pocket formed by the BH1, BH2, and BH3 domains, which also binds to the Bak/Bad BH3 peptides, suggesting Bcl-X(L) and MDM2 share a common binding motif in p53TAD. Our NMR structural studies have shown that the SN15 peptide undergoes a conformational change upon binding to Bcl-X(L). A Bcl-X(L)/SN15 complex structural model suggests that the SN15 peptide adopts an extended alpha-helical structure to bind to the hydrophobic pocke...Continue Reading

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
