Metal ions weakly enhanced the affinity between EoCen and the XPC peptide, whereas the peptide remarkably modulated the binding of Tb3+ to the N-terminal domain of EoCen. Peptide binding resulted in the dissociation of EoCen aggregates, and the aggregation of EoCen induced by Tb3+ binding was inhibited.

SUMMARYPost-translational modifications of the RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain (CTD) coordinate the transcription cycle. Crosstalk between different modifications is poorly understood. Here, we show how acetylation of lysine residues at position 7 of characteristic heptad repeats (K7ac)—only found in higher eukaryotes—regulates phosphorylation of serines at position 5 (S5p), a conserved mark of polymerases initiating transcription. We identified the regulator of pre-mRNA domain-containing (RPRD) proteins as reader proteins of K7ac. K7ac enhanced CTD peptide binding to the CTD-interacting domain (CID) of RPRD1A and RPRD1B proteins in isothermal calorimetry and molecular modeling experiments. Deacetylase inhibitors increased K7ac- and decreased S5-phosphorylated polymerases, consistent with acetylation-dependent S5 dephosphorylation by an RPRD-associated S5 phosphatase. Consistent with this model, RPRD1B knockdown increased S5p, but enhanced K7ac, indicating RPRD proteins recruit K7 deacetylases, including HDAC1. We also report auto-regulatory crosstalk between K7ac and S5p via RPRD proteins and their interactions with acetyl- and phospho-eraser proteins.

ABSTRACT A synthetic 22-mer peptide (peptide 46) derived from the p53 C-terminal domain can restore the growth suppressor function of mutant p53 proteins in human tumor cells (G. Selivanova et al., Nat. Med. 3:632–638, 1997). Here we demonstrate that peptide 46 binds mutant p53. Peptide 46 binding sites were found within both the core and C-terminal domains of p53. Lys residues within the peptide were critical for both p53 activation and core domain binding. The sequence-specific DNA binding of isolated tumor-derived mutant p53 core domains was restored by a C-terminal polypeptide. Our results indicate that C-terminal peptide binding to the core domain activates p53 through displacement of the negative regulatory C-terminal domain. Furthermore, stabilization of the core domain structure and/or establishment of novel DNA contacts may contribute to the reactivation of mutant p53. These findings should facilitate the design of p53-reactivating drugs for cancer therapy.
