Mdm2 associates with Ras effector NORE1 to induce the degradation of oncoprotein HIPK1.

چکیده
The Ras effector NORE1 is frequently silenced in primary adenocarcinomas, although the significance of this silencing for tumorigenesis is unclear. Here we show that NORE1 induces polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of oncoprotein HIPK1 by facilitating its interaction with the Mdm2 E3 ubiquitin ligase. Endogenous HIPK1 is stabilized in Nore1-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts, and depletion of HIPK1 in NORE1-silenced lung adenocarcinoma cells inhibits anchorage-independent cell growth and tumour formation in nude mice. These findings indicate that the control of HIPK1 stability by Mdm2-NORE1 has a major effect on cell behaviour, and epigenetic inactivation of NORE1 enables adenocarcinoma formation in vivo through HIPK1 stabilization.

The pro-apoptotic Ras effector Nore1 may serve as a Ras-regulated tumor suppressor in the lung.
Ras oncoproteins mediate multiple biological effects by activating multiple effectors. Classically, Ras activation has been associated with enhanced cellular growth and transformation. However, activated forms of Ras may also inhibit growth by inducing senescence, apoptosis, and differentiation. Induction of apoptosis by Ras may be mediated by its effector RASSF1, which appears to function as a...

متن کاملRASSF4/AD037 is a potential ras effector/tumor suppressor of the RASSF family.
Activated Ras proteins interact with a broad range of effector proteins to induce a diverse series of biological consequences. Although typically associated with enhanced growth and transformation, activated Ras may also induce growth antagonistic effects such as senescence or apoptosis. It is now apparent that some of the growth-inhibitory properties of Ras are mediated via the RASSF family of...
متن کاملNORE1A Regulates MDM2 Via β-TrCP.
Mouse Double Minute 2 Homolog (MDM2) is a key negative regulator of the master tumor suppressor p53. MDM2 regulates p53 on multiple levels, including acting as an ubiquitin ligase for the protein, thereby promoting its degradation by the proteasome. MDM2 is oncogenic and is frequently found to be over-expressed in human tumors, suggesting its dysregulation plays an important role in human cance...
متن کاملIdentification of a Novel Ras-Regulated Proapoptotic Pathway
BACKGROUND The Ras-GTPase controls cell fate decisions through the binding of an array of effector molecules, such as Raf and PI 3-kinase, in a GTP-dependent manner. NORE1, a noncatalytic polypeptide, binds specifically to Ras-GTP and to several other Ras-like GTPases. NORE is homologous to the putative tumor suppressor RASSF1 and to the Caenorhabditis elegans polypeptide T24F1.3. RESULTS We ...
