The p53 protein is related by sequence homology and function to the
products of two other genes, p63 and p73, that
each encode several isoforms. We and others have discovered previously
that certain tumor-derived mutants of p53 can associate and inhibit transcriptional activation by the
and
isoforms of p73. In this
study we have extended these observations to show that in transfected
cells a number of mutant p53 proteins could bind and down-regulate
several isoforms not only of p73 (p73
, -
, -
, and -
) but
also of p63 (p63
and -
;
Np63
and -
). Moreover, a
correlation existed between the efficiency of p53 binding and the
inhibition of p63 or p73 function. We also found that wild-type p63 and
p73 interact efficiently with each other when coexpressed in mammalian
cells. The interaction between p53 mutants and p63 or p73 was confirmed
in a physiological setting by examining tumor cell lines that
endogenously express these proteins. We also demonstrated that purified
p53 and p73 proteins interact directly and that the p53 core domain,
but not the tetramerization domain, mediates this interaction. Using a
monoclonal antibody (PAb240) that recognizes an epitope within the core
domain of a subset of p53 mutants, we found a correlation between the
ability of p53 proteins to be immunoprecipitated by this antibody and
their ability to interact with p73 or p63 in vitro and in transfected
cells. Based on these results and those of others, we propose that
interactions between the members of the p53 family are likely to be
widespread and may account in some cases for the ability of
tumor-derived p53 mutants to promote tumorigenesis.
