The tumor suppressor p53 has evolved a MDM2-dependent feedback loop that promotes p53 protein degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome system. MDM2 is an E3-RING containing ubiquitin ligase that catalyzes p53 ubiquitination by a dual-site mechanism requiring ligand occupation of its N-terminal hydrophobic pocket, which then stabilizes MDM2 binding to the ubiquitination signal in the DNA-bin...
The mdm2 gene encodes several protein isoforms with different molecular weights (p90, p80, p76 and p57). MDM2 p90 (usually considered to be the major MDM2 protein) binds to and inactivates P53. We have recently shown that growth inhibition of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells by progesterone is associated with P53 down-regulation. In this work, we analyzed the expression pattern of MDM2 proteins ...
Mdm2 is a p53-inducible phosphoprotein that negatively regulates p53 by binding to it and promoting its ubiquitin-mediated degradation. Alternatively spliced variants of Mdm2 have been isolated from human and mouse tumors, but their roles in tumorigenesis, if any, remain elusive. We cloned six alternatively spliced variants of Mdm2 from E(mu)-Myc-induced mouse lymphomas, all of which lacked the...
Mdm2 is the key negative regulator of the tumour suppressor p53, making it an attractive target for anti-cancer drug design. We recently identified a new role of Mdm2 in gene repression through its direct interaction with several proteins of the polycomb group (PcG) family. PcG proteins form polycomb repressive complexes PRC1 and PRC2. PRC2 (via EZH2) mediates histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27) trimet...
The mdm2 oncogene has transforming potential that is activated by overexpression. We previously reported the identification of human choriocarcinoma cell lines that have very high levels of mdm2 proteins as well as elevated levels of a stabilized wild-type p53 protein. Importantly, this mdm2 overexpression resulted from enhanced translation of mdm2 mRNA, a mechanism that had not previously been...
MDM2 regulates p53 predominantly by promoting p53 ubiquitination. However, ubiquitination-independent mechanisms of MDM2 have also been implicated. Here we show that MDM2 inhibits p53 DNA binding activity in vitro and in vivo. MDM2 binding promotes p53 to adopt a mutant-like conformation, losing reactivity to antibody Pab1620, while exposing the Pab240 epitope. The acidic domain of MDM2 is requ...
Murine double minute 2 (Mdm2) is a critical component of the responses to both ionizing and UV radiation. The level of Mdm2 expression determines the extent to which radiation induces an increase in the activity of the p53 tumor suppressor. Mdm2 acts as a survival factor in many cell types by limiting the apoptotic function of p53. In addition, expression of mdm2 is induced in response to DNA d...
The INK4a-ARF locus encodes two unrelated proteins that both function in tumor suppression. p16INK4 binds to and inhibits the activity of CDK4 and CDK6, and ARF arrests the cell cycle in a p53-dependent manner. We show here that ARF binds to MDM2 and promotes the rapid degradation of MDM2. This interaction is mediated by the exon 1beta-encoded N-terminal domain of ARF and a C-terminal region of...
MDM2 is a key negative regulator of the tumor suppressor p53, however, the prognostic significance of MDM2 overexpression in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has not been defined convincingly. In a p53 genetically-defined large cohort of de novo DLBCL patients treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) chemotherapy, we assessed MDM2 ...
We have reported earlier that ectopic expression of mouse double minute-2 (MDM2) induces G1 arrest in normal cells. To explain occasional overexpression of MDM2 in cancer cells, we searched for deletion or substitution mutation in the growth suppressor domains of MDM2 in several breast cancer cell lines that overexpress the oncoprotein. Our results suggest the absence of alteration (deletion or...
