M2 and p53R2 interact with M1 through the C-terminal binding domain. These two subunits share more than 80% sequence identity. But the few differences between the two are not unimportant, as it’s explained below. | M2 and p53R2 interact with M1 through the C-terminal binding domain.

P53R2 is an oxydoreductase composed of 351 residues. It is a small subunit of the ribonucleotide reductase (RNR). RNR catalyses the reduction of the four nucleotides to desoxyribonucleotides. It exists three classes of RNR. Class I RNR is a tetramer composed of the two types of subunits with stoichiometry α2β2 and three subunits have been identified in mammals : - Large (α) subunit M1 that contains the enzyme active site - Small (β) subunit M2 that contains a dinuclear iron site, it’s the regulatory subunit - P53R2, the last identified (in 2000), which is transactivated by p53 in response to DNA damage in cells during the G0-G1 cell cycle phase M2 and p53R2 interact with M1 through the C-terminal binding domain. These two subunits share more than 80% sequence identity. But the few differences between the two are not unimportant, as it’s explained below. The first X-ray crystal structure of p53R2 has a resolution of 2,6 Å and permits to describe its structure and also to show the structural differences with the M2 subunit.
