The level of the p53 transcription factor is negatively regulated by the E3 ubiguitin ligase murine double minute clone 2 (MDM2). The interaction between p53 and MDM2 is essential for the maintenance of genomic integrity for most eukaryotes. Previous structural studies revealed that MDM2 binds to p53 transactivation domain (p53TAD) from residues 17 to 29. The K24N mutation of p53TAD changes a lysine at position 24 to an asparagine. This mutation occurs naturally in the bovine family and is also found in a rare form of human gestational cancer called choriocarcinoma. In this study we have investigated how the K24N mutation affects the affinity, structure, and dynamics of p53TAD binding to MDM2. Nuclear magnetic resonance studies of p53TAD show the K24N mutant is more flexible and has less transient helical secondary structure than the wildtype. Isothermal titration calorimetry measurements demonstrate that these changes in structure and dynamics do not significantly change the binding affinity for p53TAD-MDM2. Finally, free energy perturbation and standard molecular dynamics simulations suggest the negligible affinity change is due to a compensating interaction energy between the K24N mutant and MDM2 when it is bound. Overall, the data suggests that the K24N-MDM2 complex is able to at least partly compensate for an increase in the conformational entropy in unbound K24N with an increase in the bound state electrostatic interaction energy.
