In this study, using a cell line that carries endogenous wild-type p53 genes, we show that transfection of cells with mutant p53, HPV16-E6, or cyclin G transgenes results in the disruption of higher-order chromatin structure, as evidenced by enhanced sensitivity to micrococcal nuclease. Multiple mechanisms may contribute to this phenotype, including histone H1 phosphorylation, direct binding of oncoproteins to nuclear matrix attachment sites, and altered expression of component genes of the p53 pathway, whose products may function in maintenance of chromatin structure.
