Nucleolar p19ARF, unlike mitochondrial smARF, is incapable of inducing p53-independent autophagy.
ARF mRNA encodes two distinct proteins, the nucleolar p19(ARF), and a shorter mitochondrial isoform, named smARF. Inappropriate proliferative signals generated by proto-oncogenes, such as c-Myc and E2F1, can elevate both p19(ARF) and smARF proteins. The two ARF isoforms differ not only in their localization but also in their functions. Nucleolar p19(ARF) inhibits cell growth mainly by activatin...
متن کاملSmall mitochondrial Arf (smArf) protein corrects p53-independent developmental defects of Arf tumor suppressor-deficient mice.
The mouse p19Arf (human p14ARF) tumor suppressor protein, encoded in part from an alternative reading frame of the Ink4a (Cdkn2a) gene, inhibits the Mdm2 E3 ubiquitin ligase to activate p53. Arf is not expressed in most normal tissues of young mice but is induced by high thresholds of aberrant hyperproliferative signals, thereby activating p53 in incipient tumor cells that have experienced onco...
متن کاملA short mitochondrial form of p19ARF induces autophagy and caspase-independent cell death.
The tumor suppressor functions of p19(ARF) have been attributed to its ability to induce cell cycle arrest or apoptosis by activating p53 and regulating ribosome biogenesis. Here we describe another cellular function of p19(ARF), involving a short isoform (smARF, short mitochondrial ARF) that localizes to a Proteinase K-resistant compartment of the mitochondria. smARF is a product of internal i...
متن کاملp53 -Dependent and -Independent Nucleolar Stress Responses
The nucleolus has emerged as a cellular stress sensor and key regulator of p53-dependent and -independent stress responses. A variety of abnormal metabolic conditions, cytotoxic compounds, and physical insults induce alterations in nucleolar structure and function, a situation known as nucleolar or ribosomal stress. Ribosomal proteins, including RPL11 and RPL5, become increasingly bound to the ...
متن کاملp53-Dependent and p53-independent activation of autophagy by ARF.
The ARF tumor suppressor is a crucial component of the cellular response to hyperproliferative signals, including oncogene activation, and functions by inducing a p53-dependent cell growth arrest and apoptosis program. It has recently been reported that the ARF mRNA can produce a smARF isoform that lacks the NH(2)-terminal region required for p53 activation. Overexpression of this isoform can i...
