TP53 phosphorylated on S215 is inactive. 2 / 2

"Here we show that p53 is phosphorylated by the mitotic kinase aurora-a at serine 215. Unlike most identified phosphorylation sites of p53 that positively associate with p53 function (brooks, c. L., and gu, w. (2003) curr. Opin. Cell biol. 15, 164-171), the phosphorylation of p53 by aurora-a at ser-215 abrogates p53 dna binding and transactivation activity."

"We show that aurora b phosphorylates p53 at s183, t211, and s215 to accelerate the degradation of p53 through the polyubiquitination-proteasome pathway, thus functionally suppressing the expression of p53 target genes involved in cell cycle inhibition and apoptosis (e.g., p21 and puma)."
