Elevated MDM2 boosts the apoptotic activity of p53-MDM2 binding inhibitors by facilitating MDMX degradation.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that nutlin-induced MDM2 retains its ubiquitin ligase activity and contributes to the anti-tumor activity of p53-MDM2 binding inhibitors by facilitating the degradation of another p53 inhibitor, MDMX.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of Metabolic Activity by p53.

TL;DR: This review will summarise the major concepts of metabolic regulation by p53 and explore how this knowledge can be used to selectively target p53 deficient cancer cells in the context of the tumour microenvironment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Roles of HAUSP-mediated p53 regulation in central nervous system development.

TL;DR: This work has generated mice lacking hausp specifically in the brain and found that deletion of hausp in neural cells resulted in neonatal lethality, and suggested that HAUSP-mediated p53 regulation is crucial for brain development, and also suggested that both the p53-dependent and the p 53-independent functions ofHAUSP contribute to the neonatal Lethality of ha Susp-mutant mice.

New Insights in Thyroid Cancer and p53 Family Proteins

TL;DR: An update on the current knowledge of the role of p53 family proteins in thyroid cancer and their possible use as a therapeutic target for the treatment of the most aggressive variants of this disease is provided.

WAF1, a potential mediator of p53 tumor suppression

TL;DR: A gene is identified, named WAF1, whose induction was associated with wild-type but not mutant p53 gene expression in a human brain tumor cell line and that could be an important mediator of p53-dependent tumor growth suppression.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo activation of the p53 pathway by small-molecule antagonists of MDM2.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify potent and selective small-molecule antagonists of MDM2 and confirm their mode of action through the crystal structures of complexes, leading to cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and growth inhibition of human tumor xenografts.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oncoprotein MDM2 is a ubiquitin ligase E3 for tumor suppressor p53

TL;DR: The data suggest that the MDM2 protein, which is induced by p53, functions as a ubiquitin ligase, E3, in human papillomavirus‐uninfected cells which do not have E6 protein.
