Inactivation of p53 is found in over 50% of all cancers; p53 disfunction is often caused by a single missense mutation localized in the DNA binding domain (DBD). Rescue mutants N235K and N239Y stabilize and restore function to multiple p53 cancer mutants. Here, we use NMR to compare protein dynamics between WT and rescue mutants to understand the mechanism of stabilization. We measured and compared folding dynamics by calculating protection factors (PFs) from NMR hydrogen exchange rates of backbone amides. We find that both rescue mutants impose a global stabilizing effect that dampens their motions compared to WT DBD, predominantly in the beta-sandwich. However, a few regions become more flexible in rescue mutants. Notably, positions that have increased PFs map to cancer mutants rescued by each mutant. We also compared relaxation results to obtain flexibility information in the ps to ns timescale regime. Protein sequence analysis was used to determine the occurrence of these rescue mutants in nature and showed that 235K is found in mice and rats, but there is no evidence of 239Y occurring naturally in any species. Understanding the mechanism by which stabilizing mutants rescue p53 may reveal novel avenues for the development of cancer therapeutics. Our findings suggest that cancer therapeutics aimed at restoring p53 function could consider protein dynamics as a metric of drug efficacy.
