Mdm2: keeping p53 under control

Abstract: The Mdm2 gene is overexpressed in several human tumors. The oncogenic potential of Mdm2 is partially explained by the inhibition of the activity of the tumor suppressor protein p53. Determination of the threedimensional structure of complexes between Mdm2 and the N-terminal p53 peptide provided a molecular basis for the inhibition of the transcriptional function of p53 by Mdm2. More dramatically, p53 is targeted by Mdm2 for rapid degradation. The Mdm2 gene itself is activated by p53, which gives the opportunit… Show more

“…Indeed the studies cited above may actually underestimate the frequency with which functional inactivation of p53 occurs in BL. Recent work performed in cell lines (Capoulade et al, 1998) has provided evidence for overexpression of mdm2, a protein which is a known inhibitor of p53 function (Piette et al, 1997). This observation clearly deserves further investigation in primary tumors.…”

“…Furthermore, recent studies have demonstrated additional mechanisms for p14ARF's function in controlling p53 activity independent of its ability to sequester Mdm2 in the nucleolus (Weber et al, 1999). As the cellular p53 protein level rises, p53 binds to the promoter of the Mdm2 gene, stimulating its transcrip-tion (p53-Mdm2 negative feedback loop; Piette et al, 1997). p14ARF is encoded by the INK4a gene locus, which also contains the gene for the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor p16Ink4a (Serrano, 1997).…”

“…It binds to the N-terminus of p53, represses its activities, mediates its nuclear export, and targets it to proteasome-mediated degradation. The Mdm2 gene is positively regulated by p53, thereby creating a negative feedback loop (reviewed by Momand and Zambetti, 1997;Piette et al, 1997a). Ser-20 of p53, a target for IR-induced phosphorylation , was recently implicated in the interaction of p53 with Mdm2.…”
