MDM2 promotes ubiquitination and degradation of MDMX

Abstract

The p53 tumor suppressor is regulated by MDM2-mediated ubiquitination and degradation. Mitogenic signals activate p53 by induction of ARF expression, which inhibits p53 ubiquitination by MDM2. Recent studies showed that the MDM2 homolog MDMX is also an important regulator of p53. We present evidence that MDM2 promotes MDMX ubiquitination and degradation by the proteasomes. This effect is stimulated by ARF and correlates with the ability of ARF to bind MDM2. Promotion of MDM2-mediated MDMX ubiquitination requires the N-terminal domain of ARF, which normally inhibits MDM2 ubiquitination of p53. An intact RING domain of MDM2 is also required, both to interact with MDMX and to provide E3 ligase function. Increase of MDM2 and ARF levels by DNA damage, recombinant ARF adenovirus infection, or inducible MDM2 expression leads to proteasome-mediated down-regulation of MDMX levels. Therefore, MDMX and MDM2 are coordinately regulated by stress signals. The ARF tumor suppressor differentially regulates the ability of MDM2 to promote p53 and MDMX ubiquitination and activates p53 by targeting both members of the MDM2 family.

  • 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 [16]

  • MDMX and MDM2 form heterodimers through their C-terminal RING domains, and the MDM2 RING domain alone is sufficient to degrade MDMX.

    “MDMX and MDM2 form heterodimers through the C-terminal RING domains and the MDM2 RING domain alone is sufficient to degrade MDMX (Sharp et al, 1999;Tanimura et al, 1999;Pan and Chen, 2003).”
  • 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).”
  • Ionizing irradiation promotes MDMX nuclear translocation and degradation by proteasomes.

    “DNA damage induced by ionizing irradiation also promotes MDMX nuclear translocation and degradation by the proteasomes (Li et al, 2002;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.
