要旨  The p53 tumor suppressor is a tetrameric transcription factor. Genome-wide analysis of its binding sites in normal human IMR-90 fibroblasts revealed 743 high-confidence ChIP-seq peaks representing putative p53 binding sites. More than 40% were located within 2 kb of a transcription start site (TSS), a distribution similar to that documented for individually studied, functional p53 response elements. Nearly half of the peaks reside in CpG islands, in marked contrast to sites reported in cancer-derived cells. The distinct genomic features of the IMR-90 binding sites do not reflect a distinct preference for specific sequences since the de novo developed p53 motif based on our study is similar to those reported by genome-wide studies of cancer-derived cells. More likely, the different chromatin landscape in normal compared to cancer-derived cells influences p53 binding via modulating the availability of sites through epigenetic mechanisms. We compared the IMR-90 ChIP-seq peaks to the recently published IMR-90 methylome and demonstrate that they are enriched at hypomethylated DNA. A hypothesis for the differences in p53 binding between normal human cells and cancer-derived cell lines will be presented.
