Characterization of mutant p53-hsp72/73 protein-protein complexes by transient expression in monkey COS cells

H W Stürzbecher et al. Mol Cell Biol. 1988 Sep.

Abstract

Several mutant, but not wild-type, p53 proteins form complexes with hsp72/73 heat shock-related proteins in simian virus 40-transformed monkey COS cells. We carried out a detailed biochemical and structural mapping analysis of p53 and report here that p53-hsp72/73 complex formation showed considerable structural specificity. Such complexes were remarkably stable, but unlike analogous complexes formed between p53 and simian virus 40 T antigen, they did not form in in vitro association assays. p53-hsp72/73 complex formation in vivo appears to be dependent on aspects of mutant p53 protein conformation. However, absence of the conformation-sensitive epitope recognized by monoclonal antibody PAb 246 was not reliably diagnostic of such complexes, nor was p53-hsp72173 binding reliably diagnostic of oncogenic activation.
