Deregulation of the ubiquitin system and p53 proteolysis modify the apoptotic response in B-CLL lymphocytes.

TLDR
It is shown that only specific—not nonspecific—proteasomal inhibitors can discriminate between malignant and normal lymphocytes in inducing the apoptotic death response, and raises the possibility that two different proteolytic pathways controlling p53 stability may be pathologically imbalanced.

The proteasome: a suitable antineoplastic target

Julian Adams
TL;DR: A proteasome inhibitor — bortezomib — has been developed that has shown efficacy as an anticancer agent in the clinic and how can targeting such a universal, broadly active cellular component provide the selectivity and specificity that are required for cancer therapeutics?
Journal ArticleDOI

The p53-Mdm2 module and the ubiquitin system.

TL;DR: The p53 tumor suppressor protein is a short-lived protein, which is stabilized in response to cellular stress, and the exact site of degradation of p53 is presently under debate.

The development of proteasome inhibitors as anticancer drugs

Julian Adams
- 01 May 2004 - 
TL;DR: Efficacy and safety results from a phase 2 clinical trial contributed to approval of bortezomib for use in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least 2 prior therapies and have demonstrated disease progression on their last therapy.

Proteasome inhibitors in cancer therapy: lessons from the first decade.

TL;DR: This saga provides a salient example of the promise of translational medicine and a paradigm by which other agents may be successfully brought from the bench to the bedside.
Journal ArticleDOI

The proteasome: a novel target for cancer chemotherapy.

TL;DR: The induction of apoptosis by proteasome inhibitors varies between cell types but often occurs following an initial accumulation of short-lived proteins such as p53, p27, pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members or activation of the stress kinase JNK.

The Ubiquitin System

TL;DR: This review discusses recent information on functions and mechanisms of the ubiquitin system and focuses on what the authors know, and would like to know, about the mode of action of ubi...

p53, the Cellular Gatekeeper for Growth and Division

TL;DR: The author regrets the lack of citations for many important observations mentioned in the text, but their omission is made necessary by restrictions in the preparation of review manuscripts.

Mdm2 promotes the rapid degradation of p53

TL;DR: It is proposed that the Mdm2-promoted degradation of p53 provides a new mechanism to ensure effective termination of the p53 signal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of p53 stability by Mdm2

TL;DR: It is shown that interaction with Mdm2 can also result in a large reduction in p53 protein levels through enhanced proteasome-dependent degradation, which may contribute to the maintenance of low p53 concentrations in normal cells.

p53 is required for radiation-induced apoptosis in mouse thymocytes

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that immature thymocytes lacking p53 die normally when exposed to compounds that may mimic T-cell receptor engagement and to glucocorticoids but are resistant to the lethal effects of ionizing radiation.
