Transcription-independent pro-apoptotic functions of p53.
Induction of apoptosis is one of the central activities by which p53 exerts its tumor-suppressing function. Aside from its primary function as a transcription factor, it can promote apoptosis independent of transcription. Recent studies have started to define the mechanisms of non-transcriptional pro-apoptotic p53 activities operating within the intrinsic mitochondria-mediated pathway of apopto...
متن کاملp53 facilitates pRb cleavage in IL-3-deprived cells: novel pro-apoptotic activity of p53.
In the interleukin-3 (IL-3)-dependent lymphoid cell line DA-1, functional p53 is required for efficient apoptosis in response to IL-3 withdrawal. Activation of p53 in these cells, by either DNA damage or p53 overexpression, results in a vital growth arrest in the presence of IL-3 and in accelerated apoptosis in its absence. Thus, IL-3 can control the choice between p53-dependent cell-cycle arre...
متن کاملModification of Drosophila p53 by SUMO modulates its transactivation and pro-apoptotic functions.
Conjugation to SUMO is a reversible post-translational modification that regulates several transcription factors involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, and disease. The p53 tumor suppressor can be modified by SUMO-1 in mammalian cells, but the functional consequences of this modification are unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the Drosophila homolog of human p53 can be efficiently sumo...
متن کاملZyxin is a critical regulator of the apoptotic HIPK2-p53 signaling axis.
HIPK2 activates the apoptotic arm of the DNA damage response by phosphorylating tumor suppressor p53 at serine 46. Unstressed cells keep HIPK2 levels low through targeted polyubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation. Here we identify the LIM domain protein Zyxin as a novel regulator of the HIPK2-p53 signaling axis in response to DNA damage. Remarkably, depletion of endogenous Zyxin...
متن کاملNORE1A is a Ras senescence effector that controls the apoptotic/senescent balance of p53 via HIPK2
The Ras oncoprotein is a key driver of cancer. However, Ras also provokes senescence, which serves as a major barrier to Ras-driven transformation. Ras senescence pathways remain poorly characterized. NORE1A is a novel Ras effector that serves as a tumor suppressor. It is frequently inactivated in tumors. We show that NORE1A is a powerful Ras senescence effector and that down-regulation of NORE...
