Lane (2008) The electrostatic surface of MDM2 modulates the specificity of its interaction with phosphorylated and unphosphorylated p53 peptides, Cell Cycle, 7:5, 608-610, DOI: 10.4161/cc.7.5.5488To link to this article: https://doi.org/10.4161/cc.7.5.5488 Florescence anisotropy measurements using FAM-labelled p53 peptides showed that the binding of the peptides to MDM2 was dependant upon the phosphorylation of p53 at Thr18 and that this binding was modulated by the electrostatic properties of MDM2. In agreement with computational predictions, the binding to phosphorylated p53 peptide, in comparison to the unphosphorylated p53 peptide, was enhanced upon mutation of 3 key residues on the MDM2 surface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
