Ionizing radiation (IR) induces an increase in the levels and activity of the p53 tumor suppressor protein. The increased activity is attributed to IR-induced posttranslational modifications, some of which regulate the interaction of p53 with other proteins. One of these modifications is dephosphorylation of Ser376, which leads to association of p53 with 14-3-3 proteins. To establish the significance of this interaction, we examined the function of mutant p53 proteins that do not interact with 14-3-3 proteins in vivo. These p53 mutants retained sequence-specific DNA binding activity. However, their ability to activate transcription of the endogenous p21/waf1/cip1 gene and to induce G1 arrest was compromised, suggesting that the dephosphorylation of Ser376 and the association of p53 with 14-3-3 proteins contribute to the activation of p53 in response to IR.
