p63 and p73 Transcriptionally Regulate Genes Involved in DNA Repair
نویسندگان
چکیده
The p53 family activates many of the same genes in response to DNA damage. Because p63 and p73 have structural differences from p53 and play distinct biological functions in development and metastasis, it is likely that they activate a unique transcriptional network. Therefore, we performed a genome-wide analysis using cells lacking the p53 family members after treatment with DNA damage. We identified over 100 genes involved in multiple pathways that were uniquely regulated by p63 or p73, and not p53. Further validation indicated that BRCA2, Rad51, and mre11 are direct transcriptional targets of p63 and p73. Additionally, cells deficient for p63 and p73 are impaired in DNA repair and p63+/-;p73+/- mice develop mammary tumors suggesting a novel mechanism whereby p63 and p73 suppress tumorigenesis.

Subject Review p63 and p73: Roles in Development and Tumor Formation
The tumor suppressor p53 is critically important in the cellular damage response and is the founding member of a family of proteins. All three genes regulate cell cycle and apoptosis after DNA damage. However, despite a remarkable structural and partly functional similarity among p53, p63, and p73, mouse knockout studies revealed an unexpected functional diversity among them. p63 and p73 knocko...
متن کاملThe Tumor Suppressors p53, p63, and p73 Are Regulators of MicroRNA Processing Complex
The tumor suppressors p53, p73, and p63 are known to function as transcription factors. They promote either growth arrest or apoptosis, depending upon the DNA damage. A number of microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to function as transcriptional targets of p53 and they appear to aid p53 in promoting growth arrest and apoptosis. However, the question of p53/p63/p73 regulating the miRNA processing...

Based on gene sequence homologies, a p53 (TP53) gene family become apparent with the addition of the most recently identified p63 (TP73L; formerly TP63) and p73 (TP73) genes to the already known p53. The p53 gene encodes for a unique protein eliciting well-known tumor suppressor gene (TSG) properties that mediate cellular response to DNA damage, e.g., cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. In contrast...

(1) solves the structure of the p73 oligomerization domain that produces a tetrameric protein and compares this structure with p63 (closely related) and p53 (more distantly related). This provides new information about the comparative evolution of these three (p53, p63, and p73) proteins and more. The human genome contains three genes encoding...
