The p53 protein consists of the N-terminal transactivation, the DNA binding or core, the tetramerization, and the C-terminal regulatory domain ('''Figure 3'''). This Proteopedia page discusses protein-DNA recognition by p53, thus focusing on the DBD of p53. The only other domain for which structural information is available is the <scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_170/Tetra/2'>tetramerization domain</scene>, which forms as a dimer of dimers with one alpha helix and one beta strand contributed by each p53 monomer.

This Proteopedia page discusses protein-DNA recognition by p53, thus focusing on the DBD of p53 ('''Figure 5'''). (The only other domain for which structural information is available is the ''tetramerization domain'' ['''Figure 4''', <scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_170/Tetra/2'>restore initial scene</scene>], which forms as a dimer of dimers with one alpha helix and one beta strand contributed by each p53 monomer.)
