Abstract

Maintenance of genomic stability depends on the DNA damage response, an extensive signaling network that is activated by DNA lesions such as double-strand breaks (DSBs). The primary activator of the mammalian DSB response is the nuclear protein kinase ataxia–telangiectasia, mutated (ATM), which phosphorylates key players in various arms of this network. The activation and stabilization of the p53 protein play a major role in the DNA damage response and are mediated by ATM-dependent posttranslational modifications of p53 and Mdm2, a ubiquitin ligase of p53. p53's response to DNA damage also depends on Mdm2-dependent proteolysis of Mdmx, a homologue of Mdm2 that represses p53's transactivation function. Here we show that efficient damage-induced degradation of human Hdmx depends on functional ATM and at least three sites on the Hdmx that are phosphorylated in response to DSBs. One of these sites, S403, is a direct ATM target. Accordingly, each of these sites is important for Hdm2-mediated ubiquitination of Hdmx after DSB induction. These results demonstrate a sophisticated mechanism whereby ATM fine-tunes the optimal activation of p53 by simultaneously modifying each player in the process.

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?

  • Mdmx is relatively stable compared with Mdm2 and p53, presumably due to preferential ubiquitylation of the latter proteins.

    “It appears that Mdmx is relatively stable compared with Mdm2 and p53 [41], presumably due to preferential ubiquitylation of the latter proteins.”

    From The p53 orchestra: Mdm2 and Mdmx set the tone (2010) · cites this paper as [41]

  • Phosphorylation of Mdm2 and Mdmx at serine residues close to the RING domain by ATM or ATM-dependent kinases leads to accelerated auto-degradation of both Mdm2 and Mdmx, with consequent p53 accumulation and activation.

    “Additionally, phosphorylation of Mdm2 and Mdmx at serine residues close to the RING domain by ATM or ATM-dependent kinases leads to accelerated auto-degradation of both Mdm2 [54] and Mdmx [41,55–58], with consequent p53 accumulation and activation.”

    From The p53 orchestra: Mdm2 and Mdmx set the tone (2010) · cites this paper as [41]

  • A recent study demonstrated phosphorylation of S403 by ATM using a phosphorylation-specific antibody.

    “A recent study was able to demonstrate the phosphorylation of S403 by ATM using a phosphorylation-specific antibody (Pereg et al, 2005).”
  • S403 of MDMX is an ATM target site.

    “S403 is in a favorable context for ATM and a recent study by Pereg et al (2005) provided direct evidence that it is an ATM target site.”

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.
