Abstract
The epitope recognized by the monoclonal antibody NM11, previously shown to recognize both CBP and p300, has been mapped here to the C-terminal third of p300 and CBP by Western analysis of p300 and CBP prokaryotic fusion proteins. More precise epitope mapping, carried out by screening a plasmid expression library derived from small randomly generated CBP cDNA fragments localizes the NM11 epitope to a 21 amino acid stretch spanning amino acids 2071-2091 near the CBP C-terminus. CBP and p300 differ by three noncontiguous residues within this 21 amino acid region, a difference that does not detectably affect the reactivity of NM11.
