Control of p53 ubiquitination and nuclear export by MDM2 and ARF.
نویسندگان
چکیده
p53 and ARF-INK4a are the two most frequently altered loci in human tumors. The activity of p53 protein is inhibited during normal cell growth by the proto-oncoprotein MDM2 through either repression of p53-mediated transcription in the nucleus or proteasomal degradation of p53 protein in the cytoplasm. Responding to oncogenic signal-activated cell hyperproliferation, ARF-mediated antagonism of MDM2 inhibition results in p53 becoming active and its protein levels rising. The biochemical mechanisms of ubiquitination and nuclear export that underlie the functions of ARF and MDM2 in p53 control continue to emerge.

Runt-related transcription factor RUNX3 is a target of MDM2-mediated ubiquitination.
The p14(ARF)-MDM2-p53 pathway constitutes an effective mechanism for protecting cells from oncogenic stimuli such as activated Ras and Myc. Importantly, Ras activation induces p14(ARF) and often occurs earlier than p53 inactivation during cancer development. Here, we show that RUNX3, a tumor suppressor in various tumors including stomach, bladder, colon, and lung, is stabilized by Ras activatio...
متن کاملMono- versus polyubiquitination: differential control of p53 fate by Mdm2.
Although Mdm2-mediated ubiquitination is essential for both degradation and nuclear export of p53, the molecular basis for the differential effects of Mdm2 remains unknown. Here we show that low levels of Mdm2 activity induce monoubiquitination and nuclear export of p53, whereas high levels promote p53's polyubiquitination and nuclear degradation. A p53-ubiquitin fusion protein that mimics mono...
متن کاملMDM2 can promote the ubiquitination, nuclear export, and degradation of p53 in the absence of direct binding.
MDM2 can bind the N terminus of p53 and promote its ubiquitination and export from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where p53 can then be degraded by cytoplasmic proteasomes. Several studies have reported that an intact MDM2 binding domain is necessary for p53 to be targeted for ubiquitination, nuclear export, and degradation by MDM2. In the current study, we examined whether the MDM2 binding doma...
متن کاملContribution of two independent MDM2-binding domains in p14ARF to p53 stabilization
The MDM2 protein targets the p53 tumor suppressor for ubiquitin-dependent degradation [1], and can function both as an E3 ubiquitin ligase [2] and as a regulator of the subcellular localization of p53 [3]. Oncogene activation stabilizes p53 through expression of the ARF protein (p14(ARF) in humans, p19(ARF) in the mouse) [4], and loss of ARF allows tumor development without loss of wild-type p5...
متن کاملMDM2 interaction with nuclear corepressor KAP1 contributes to p53 inactivation.
MDM2 is a RING domain ubiquitin E3 ligase and a major regulator of the p53 tumor suppressor. MDM2 binds to p53, inactivates p53 transcription function, inhibits p53 acetylation, and promotes p53 degradation. Here, we present evidence that MDM2 interacts with the nuclear corepressor KAP1. The binding is mediated by the N-terminal coiled-coil domain of KAP1 and the central acidic domain of MDM2. ...
