Can you please help me by drawing a serie of schematic figures that demonstrates the information in the paragraph below? In addition to phosphorylation, the C-terminal domain of p53 can also be acetylated and sumolated in response to DNA damage. Acetylation and sumolation both result in an increase in the transactivation ability of p53 and may account for this finding. In vivo, IR induces the acetylation of p53 at Lys320 by PCAF and Lys382 by CBP/p300. Acetylation at these sites is dependent on N-terminal phosphorylation at Ser15 and to a lesser extent on phosphorylation at Ser6, Ser9, and Thr18 (Saito et al., 2002; Wahl and Carr, 2001). All of these phosphorylation events are ATM-dependent, although only Ser15 has been shown to be phosphorylated directly by ATM. Sumolation occurs at Lys386 after DNA damage (Muller et al., 2000). Sumolation refers to the covalent attachment of a small ubiquitin-like molecule (SUMO-1) to Lys residues, but in contrast to ubiquitination, does not result…
