Comment: p53’s mass is actually only 43.7 kD but it runs as a 53-kilodalton (kD) protein on SDS-PAGE. This difference is due to the high number of proline residues in the protein, which slows its migration on SDS-PAGE, thus making it appear heavier than it actually is (1). This effect is observed with p53 from a variety of species, including humans, rodents, frogs, and fish, and we believe it is the reason for the anomalous migration pattern seen in out laboratory.

B. Cupid-p53-B peptide labelled with fluorescein was subjected to SDS-PAGE and observed with a blue light transilluminator.


M = Weight markers shown in Kd, S = Labelled Cupid-p53-B peptide sample.


C. Labelled peptide was incubated with living cells at 10 micromolar for 60 minutes before exchanging the media and washing the cells. Cells were imaged using a fluorescence microscope with filter sets for Fluorescein (Upper Panel) or phase contrast (Lower Panel). Fluorescent images of treated cells are taken at a setting where the background (autofluorescence) of the untreated cells is at the threshold of detection. We observe the peptide fluorescence distributed diffusely throughout all cells.
