MDM2-ARF complex regulates p53 sumoylation

Chen, Lihong, Chen, Jiandong·2003·Oncogene

Abstract

The p53 tumor suppressor is regulated by MDM2-mediated ubiquitination and degradation. Ubiquitination of p53 is regulated by ARF, which binds to MDM2 and inhibits its E3 ligase function. P53 is also subjected to modification by conjugation of SUMO-1. We found that a p53 mutant deficient for MDM2 binding (p53(14Q19S)) is poorly sumoylated in vivo compared to wild-type p53. Overexpression of MDM2 increases the level of p53 sumoylation, which is further stimulated by expression of ARF. Stimulation of p53 sumoylation requires a highly conserved region (102-116) encoded by exon 2 of ARF and correlates with the ability of ARF to target p53 to the nucleolus. An MDM2 deletion mutant (MDM2(Delta222-437)) with activated cryptic nucleolar localization signal also targets p53 to the nucleolus and efficiently promotes p53 sumoylation in the absence of ARF. Direct targeting of p53 to the nucleolus enhances its sumoylation in an MDM2- and ARF-dependent fashion. These results show that p53 sumoylation is regulated by MDM2- and ARF-mediated nucleolar targeting.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Mdm2 can also mediate p53 SUMOylation.

    “Other reports indicate Mdm2 can also fulfill this role [119].”

    From The p53 orchestra: Mdm2 and Mdmx set the tone (2010) · cites this paper as [119]

  • Arf can stimulate Mdm2-dependent SUMOylation of itself and of p53 at K386, and SUMOylation is associated with relocalization of p53 to subnuclear structures.

    “There is some consensus that Arf can stimulate the Mdm2-dependent SUMOylation of both itself and of p53 at K386 [119,120] and that SUMOylation is associated with relocalization of p53 to subnuclear structures [121,122].”

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.
