We have investigated the biochemical properties of Xenopus laevis p53. With an in vitro binding assay, we can detect a specific association between X. laevis p53 and simian virus 40 large T antigen. Furthermore, X. laevis p53 expressed in monkey COS cells is stably associated with this viral antigen. Like mammalian p53, X. laevis p53 in complex with simian virus 40 large T antigen exhibits a 20-fold increase of its half-life. On the other hand, X. laevis p53 is unable to associate either in vivo or in vitro with adenovirus type 5 E1B 55-kilodalton protein. We show by an immunological technique that X. laevis p53 forms specific complexes with mammalian hsp72 and hsp73 heat shock proteins only at a temperature well above the optimal growth temperature for X. laevis. Our results suggest that the protein-binding properties of p53 are closely related to the functional activity of the protein.
