title: [The role of p53 binding site on the trans binding of p53 to Hsp90 beta gene].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the effect of p53 binding site (+31/+60) of hsp90 beta gene on its transcriptional regulation.
  
  
  METHODS
  The binding site was first inserted into pBS-SK. After the plasmid annealing and elongation with mutagenic and selective primers, nuclease digestion and bacteria transformation was performed twice to select the positive mutated plasmid. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) was employed to detect the binding of hsp90 beta gene fragment containing mutated p53 binding site and Jurkat cell nuclear extract transfected by p53 expression vector.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The sequence analysis profile confirmed a successful mutation of two bases on the core sequence of the second half binding site. EMSA results showed the specific DNA-protein complex band disappeared after the mutation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The core sequence of p53 binding site plays a key role in the trans binding of p53 to hsp90 beta gene.
