We have analyzed the effect of cavity-filling mutations on protein stability by means of free-energy calculations based on molecular dynamics simulations to identify the factors contributing to stability changes caused by the mutations. We have studied the DNA-binding domain of Myb, which has a cavi

✦ Synopsis
The interaction between the R2R3 DNA binding domain of the oncoprotein c-Myb and oligodeoxynucleotides was investigated by ' H-NMR spectroscopy and fluorescence anisotropy assays. Titration of 12 and 16 base-pair DNA fragments containing the TAACGGTC sequence with R2R3 revealed the presence of two complexed forms (in a 40/60 ratio) either two complexes or two conformations in slow exchange at the NMR chemical shift time scale. The largest variations of imino proton chemical shifts were observed for the imino proton of the base pairs 2, 3, 4 and 6 of the DNA sequence, suggesting a direct involvement of these base pairs in the interaction. Using fluorescence anisotropy measurements, a dissociation constant of 5.12 k 1.49 n M for the specific DNA-R2R3 complex was found, whereas a value of 2.7 f 0.1 p M was determined for the nonspecific complex.

## Abstract P2P‐R is the alternately spliced product of the P2P‐R/PACT gene in that P2P‐R lacks one exon encoding 34 amino acids. The 250 kDa P2P‐R protein is the predominate product expressed in multiple murine cell lines. It is a highly basic protein that contains multiple domains including an N‐
