Phosphorylation by aurora kinase A induces Mdm2-mediated destabilization and inhibition of p53

TL;DR: It is concluded that aurora Kinase A is a key regulatory component of the p53 pathway and that overexpression of aurora kinase A leads to increased degradation of p53, causing downregulation of checkpoint-response pathways and facilitating oncogenic transformation of cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Periostin promotes invasion and anchorage-independent growth in the metastatic process of head and neck cancer.

TL;DR: It is suggested that periostin plays an important role in the invasion and anchorage-independent growth of HNSCC.
Journal ArticleDOI

The p53 inhibitors MDM2/MDMX complex is required for control of p53 activity in vivo

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that MDM2 and MDMX function as an integral complex in p53 control, providing insights into the nonredundant nature of the function of MDM1 and MDX, and the finding that concomitant deletion of p53 completely rescued the embryonic lethality in MdmxC462A/ C462A homozygous mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA damage-induced MDMX degradation is mediated by MDM2.

TL;DR: It is shown that DNA damage-induced p53 induction is associated with rapid down-regulation of the MDMX protein, and it is demonstrated that DNAdamage-induced MDMX reduction is mediated by MDM2, which targets MDMX for proteasomal degradation by a distinct mechanism that ensures optimal p53 activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

RING Domain–Mediated Interaction Is a Requirement for MDM2's E3 Ligase Activity

TL;DR: Disruption of the binding between MDM2 and MDMX resulted in a marked increase in both abundance and activity of p53, emphasizing the functional importance of this heterocomplex in p53 control.
