Abstract
Coactivators CREB-binding protein and p300 play important roles in mediating the transcriptional activity of p53. Until now, however, no detailed structural information has been available on how any of the domains of p300 interact with p53. Here, we report the NMR structure of the complex of the Taz2 (C/H3) domain of p300 and the N-terminal transactivation domain of p53. In the complex, p53 forms a short alpha helix and interacts with the Taz2 domain through an extended surface. Mutational analyses demonstrate the importance of hydrophobic residues for complex stabilization. Additionally, they suggest that the increased affinity of Taz2 for p53(1-39) phosphorylated at Thr(18) is due in part to electrostatic interactions of the phosphate with neighboring arginine residues in Taz2. Thermodynamic experiments revealed the importance of hydrophobic interactions in the complex of Taz2 with p53 phosphorylated at Ser(15) and Thr(18).

Figure 1. Structure of the Taz2-p53[2–39] Complex
(A) Stereo image of the overlay of ten lowest-energy NMR structures of the complex between p53[15–27] (magenta) and the Taz2 domain of p300 (gray). The structures are superimposed on the Cα traces.
(B) Plot of backbone amide ^15N-{^1H} heteronuclear NOEs of p53[2–39].
(C) Cylinder model of the average conformation of the complex. p53 is shown in magenta and the helices of Taz2 are shown in blue (α1), lilac (α2), orange (α3), and red (α4). Zinc ions in Taz2, modeled as green spheres, were added according to zinc-coordination distances into the known binding cage.
(D) Secondary chemical shift difference of p53[2-39] in the complex (measured Cα chemical shift − random coil value).

(A) Model of the Taz2-p53[2–39] complex, showing residues that make hydrophobic contacts. Contacting residues are labeled in white for Taz2 (gray surface representation) and red for p53[2–39] (blue ribbon).
(B) Model of the Taz2-p53[2–39] complex, colored by electrostatic potential (red represents negative, blue indicates positive). Taz2 is shown in a solid representation, and p53[2–39] as a mesh.
