Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) HDM2 regulates p53 by binding to its transactivation domain and promoting its ubiquitin-dependent degradation. Crystallographic analysis of the HDM2/p53 complex revealed that three hydrophobic residues (F19, W23, L26) along one face of the p53 helical peptide are essential for binding (see picture). Terphenyl-based antagonists mimic the α-helical region of p53 and disrupt HDM2/p53 complexation.
