RESUMO

Simian virus 40 large T antigen has been shown to inhibit p53-mediated transcription once tethered to p53-responsive promoters through interaction with p53. In this study we report that p53 stimulates transcription by enhancing the recruitment of the basal transcription factors, TFIIA and TFIID, on the promoter (the DA complex) and by inducing a conformational change in the DA complex. Significantly, we have demonstrated that T antigen inhibits p53-mediated transcription by blocking this ability of p53. We investigated the mechanism for this inhibition and found that DA complex formation was resistant to T-antigen repression when the TFIID-DNA complex was formed prior to addition of p53-T antigen complex, indicating that the T antigen, once tethered to the promoter by p53, targets TFIID. Further, we have shown that the p53-T antigen complex prevents the TATA binding protein from binding to the TATA box. Thus, these data suggest a detailed mechanism by which p53 activates transcription and by which T antigen inhibits p53-mediated transcription.
