Abstract

Mdmx is a critical negative regulator of the p53 pathway that is stoichiometrically limiting in some tissues. Posttranslational modification and degradation of Mdmx after DNA damage have been proposed to be essential for p53 activation. We tested this model in vivo, where critical stoichiometric relationships are preserved. We generated an Mdmx mutant mouse in which three conserved serines (S341, S367, S402) targeted by DNA-damage-activated kinases were replaced by alanines to investigate whether modifications of these residues are important for Mdmx degradation and p53 activation. The mutant mice were remarkably resistant to radiation, and very susceptible to Myc-induced lymphomagenesis. These data demonstrate that Mdmx downregulation is crucial for effective p53-mediated radiation responses and tumor suppression in vivo.

  • In Mdmx3SA, Mdm2 remains bound to Mdmx, but degradation of Mdmx is significantly reduced.

    “In Mdmx3SA, Mdm2 remains bound to Mdmx, but degradation of Mdmx is significantly reduced.”

  • In Mdmx3SA mice, damage-induced Mdmx degradation is attenuated and p53 stabilization is significantly reduced compared with wild-type mice.

    “When these serines are mutated to alanine in vivo (Mdmx3SA mice), damage-induced Mdmx degradation is attenuated. Furthermore, p53 stabilization is significantly reduced in Mdmx3SA compared with wild type mice [30].”

  • Phosphorylation of Mdmx at C-terminal serine residues (Ser-341, 367, and 402 in mouse) by damage-activated kinases leads to its Mdm2-dependent degradation.

    “Phosphorylation of Mdmx at C-terminal serine residues by damage-activated kinases (Ser-341, 367 and 402 in mouse) leads to its Mdm2-dependent degradation.”

  • Because p53 activation is weakened in Mdmx3SA mice, these animals are more prone to tumors driven by c-Myc, through uncontrolled cell growth.

    “However, the attenuated p53 activation in Mdmx3SA mice predisposes them to c-Myc-induced tumorigenesis due to deregulated cell proliferation.”

  • After DNA damage, the fold increase in p53 target genes is similar in Mdmx3SA and wild-type mice.

    “Interestingly, the fold induction of p53 gene targets after DNA damage was similar between Mdmx3SA and wild type mice, but due to reduced basal p53 activity, the absolute transcript levels of p53 target genes ( p21 and puma) were lower in Mdmx3SA mice.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
