Rapid ATM-dependent phosphorylation of MDM2 precedes p53 accumulation in response to DNA damage.

چکیده
The p53 tumor-suppressor protein, a key regulator of cellular responses to genotoxic stress, is stabilized and activated after DNA damage. This process is associated with posttranslational modifications of p53, some of which are mediated by the ATM protein kinase. However, these modifications alone may not account in full for p53 stabilization. p53's stability and activity are negatively regulated by the oncoprotein MDM2, whose gene is activated by p53. Conceivably, p53 function may be modulated by modifications of MDM2 as well. We show here that after treatment of cells with ionizing radiation or a radiomimetic chemical, but not UV radiation, MDM2 is phosphorylated rapidly in an ATM-dependent manner. This phosphorylation is independent of p53 and the DNA-dependent protein kinase. Furthermore, MDM2 is directly phosphorylated by ATM in vitro. These findings suggest that in response to DNA strand breaks, ATM may promote p53 activity and stability by mediating simultaneous phosphorylation of both partners of the p53-MDM2 autoregulatory feedback loop.

Phosphorylation of Daxx by ATM Contributes to DNA Damage-Induced p53 Activation
p53 plays a central role in tumor suppression. It does so by inducing anti-proliferative processes as a response to various tumor-promoting stresses. p53 is regulated by the ubiquitin ligase Mdm2. The optimal function of Mdm2 requires Daxx, which stabilizes Mdm2 through the deubiquitinase Hausp/USP7 and also directly promotes Mdm2's ubiquitin ligase activity towards p53. The Daxx-Mdm2 interacti...
متن کاملATM and Chk2-dependent phosphorylation of MDMX contribute to p53 activation after DNA damage.
The p53 tumor suppressor is activated after DNA damage to maintain genomic stability and prevent transformation. Rapid activation of p53 by ionizing radiation is dependent on signaling by the ATM kinase. MDM2 and MDMX are important p53 regulators and logical targets for stress signals. We found that DNA damage induces ATM-dependent phosphorylation and degradation of MDMX. Phosphorylated MDMX is...
متن کاملATM activates p53 by regulating MDM2 oligomerization and E3 processivity.
Rapid activation of p53 by ionizing irradiation is a classic DNA damage response mediated by the ATM kinase. However, the major signalling target and mechanism that lead to p53 stabilization are unknown. We show in this report that ATM induces p53 accumulation by phosphorylating the ubiquitin E3 ligase MDM2. Multiple ATM target sites near the MDM2 RING domain function in a redundant manner to p...
متن کاملATM-Dependent Downregulation of USP7/HAUSP by PPM1G Activates p53 Response to DNA Damage
The deubiquitylation enzyme USP7/HAUSP plays a major role in regulating genome stability and cancer prevention by controlling the key proteins involved in the DNA damage response. Despite this important role in controlling other proteins, USP7 itself has not been recognized as a target for regulation. Here, we report that USP7 regulation plays a central role in DNA damage signal transmission. W...
متن کاملDifferential roles of ATM- and Chk2-mediated phosphorylations of Hdmx in response to DNA damage.
The p53 tumor suppressor plays a major role in maintaining genomic stability. Its activation and stabilization in response to double strand breaks (DSBs) in DNA are regulated primarily by the ATM protein kinase. ATM mediates several posttranslational modifications on p53 itself, as well as phosphorylation of p53's essential inhibitors, Hdm2 and Hdmx. Recently we showed that ATM- and Hdm2-depend...
