The Hsp70 family member mortalin (mot-2/mthsp70/GRP75) binds to a carboxyl terminus region of the tumor suppressor protein p53. By in vivo co-immunoprecipitation of mot-2 with p53 and its deletion mutants, we earlier mapped the mot-2-binding site of p53 to its carboxyl terminus 312-352 amino acid residues. In the present study we attempted to disrupt mot-2-p53 interactions by overexpression of short p53 carboxyl-terminal peptides. We report that p53 carboxyl-terminal peptides ( amino acid residues 312-390, 312-352, 323-390, and 323-352) localize in the cytoplasm, whereas 312-322, 337-390, 337-352, and 352-390 locate mostly in the nucleus. Most interestingly, the cytoplasmically localizing p53 peptides harboring the residues 323-337 activated the endogenous p53 function by displacing it from p53-mortalin complexes and relocating it to the nucleus. Such activation of p53 function was sufficient to cause growth arrest of human osteosarcoma and breast carcinoma cells.
