2. Figure 1
Domain Organization of p53 and Functions of the C-Terminal Domain. The upper portion shows p53 domains boundaries (corresponds to human p53 major isoform α) together with their general structural classification. Abbreviations: CTD, C-terminal domain; DBD, DNA-binding domain; NTD, N-terminal transactivation domain; OD, oligomerization domain; PR, proline-rich domain. Solved structures of the DBD (PDB: 2AC0) and OD (PDB: 1PES) shown above the schematic p53 representation. The bottom portion of the figure shows the amino acid sequence of the human p53 CTD. Positively charged residues within this domain are in bold blue font. The functions of the CTD discussed in this review are listed.

Post-Translational Modifications (PTMs) within the C-Terminal Domain (CTD) of p53. (A) PTM sites within the CTD according to a comprehensive MS analysis [72]. Only the most-abundant modifications detected in [72] are indicated. (Below) Alignment of the p53 CTDs derived from the organisms most commonly used in cancer research and cancer models. (B) Representative examples of various structural shapes of the CTD (shown in dark blue) induced by intermolecular interactions with different cofactors (from left to right): S100B(ββ) (PDB: 1DT7), CBP bromodomain (PDB: 1JSP), and TTD 53BP1 (PDB: 2MWP and 4X34).
