Abstract

The stability of the p53 tumor suppressor protein is critically regulated by the Hdm2 and Hdmx proteins. Hdm2 protein levels are auto-regulated by the self-ubiquitination activity of Hdm2 and on the transcriptional level by p53-activated transcription of the hdm2 gene. Little is known about the regulation of Hdmx expression levels, apart from the observation that the Mdmx protein can be cleaved by caspase-3 in a p53-inducible manner. In the functional analysis of two mutant Hdmx proteins, products of two alternatively spliced mRNAs, it was found that Hdmx proteins are targets for ubiquitination by Mdm2. The stability of the Hdmx protein is partly dependent on the presence of its internal acidic domain. Mdm2 appears only to require an intact RING domain to be able to ubiquitinate Hdmx and target it for proteasomal degradation. These findings highlight the intricate functional relationships between p53, Mdm2, and Hdmx.

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 undergoes auto-degradation and targets Mdmx for degradation, which is critical for optimal p53 activation after stress.

    “However, in addition to degrading p53, Mdm2 also undergoes auto-degradation [12,13] and targets Mdmx for degradation [14–16], which is critical for optimal p53 activation after stress.”

    From The p53 orchestra: Mdm2 and Mdmx set the tone (2010) · cites this paper as [14]

  • MDMX can be ubiquitinated and degraded by MDM2.

    “Several reports showed that MDMX can be ubiquitinated and degraded by MDM2 (De Graaf et al, 2003;Kawai et al, 2003;Pan and Chen, 2003).”

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.
