The p53 protein is a key tumor suppressor and the most commonly mutated and down-regulated protein in human tumors. It functions mainly through interaction with DNA, and p53 acts as a transcription factor that recognizes the so-called p53 target sites on the promoters of various genes. P53 has been shown to exist as many isoforms, including three C-terminal isoforms that are produced by alternative splicing. Because the C-terminal domain is responsible for sequence-nonspecific binding and regulation of p53 binding, we have analyzed DNA recognition by these C-terminal isoforms. Using atomic force microscopy, we show for the first time that all C-terminal isoforms recognize superhelical DNA. It is particularly noteworthy that a sequence-specific p53 consensus binding site is bound by p53a and b isoforms with similar affinities, whilst p53a shows higher binding to a quadruplex sequence than both p53b and p53g, and p53g loses preferential binding to both the consensus binding sequence and the quadruplex-forming sequence. These results show the important role of the variable p53 C-terminal amino acid sequences for DNA recognition.
