'''SOLUTION STRUCTURE DETERMINATION OF A P53 MUTANT DIMERIZATION DOMAIN, NMR, MINIMIZED AVERAGE STRUCTURE'''<br />
'''SOLUTION STRUCTURE DETERMINATION OF A P53 MUTANT DIMERIZATION DOMAIN, NMR, MINIMIZED AVERAGE STRUCTURE'''<br />


==Overview==
==Overview==
The p53 tumor suppressor oligomerization domain, a dimer of two primary, dimers, is an independently folding domain whose subunits consist of a, beta-strand, a tight turn and an alpha-helix. To evaluate the effect of, hydrophobic side-chains on three-dimensional structure, we substituted, residues Phe341 and Leu344 in the alpha-helix with other hydrophobic amino, acids. Substitutions that resulted in residue 341 having a smaller, side-chain than residue 344 switched the stoichiometry of the domain from, tetrameric to dimeric. The three-dimensional structure of one such dimer, was determined by multidimensional NMR spectroscopy. When compared with, the primary dimer of the wild-type p53 oligomerization domain, the mutant, dimer showed a switch in alpha-helical packing from anti-parallel to, parallel and rotation of the alpha-helices relative to the beta-strands., Hydrophobic side-chain size is therefore an important determinant of a, protein fold.
