A Quantitative Systems Approach to Define Novel Effects of Tumour p53 Mutations on Binding Oncoprotein MDM2.

ABSTRACT: Understanding transient protein interactions biochemically at the proteome scale remains a long-standing challenge. Current tools developed to study protein interactions in high-throughput measure stable protein complexes and provide binary readouts; they do not elucidate dynamic and weak protein interactions in a proteome. The majority of protein interactions are transient and cover a wide range of affinities. Nucleic acid programmable protein arrays (NAPPA) are self-assembling protein microarrays produced by freshly translating full-length proteins in situ on the array surface. Herein, we have coupled NAPPA to surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) to produce a novel label-free platform that measures many protein interactions in real-time allowing the determination of the KDs and rate constants. The developed novel NAPPA-SPRi technique showed excellent ability to study protein-protein interactions of clinical mutants of p53 with its regulator MDM2. Furthermore, this method was employed to identify mutant p53 proteins insensitive to the drug nutlin-3, currently in clinical practice, which usually disrupts the p53-MDM2 interactions. Thus, significant differences in the interactions were observed for p53 mutants on the DNA binding domain (Arg-273-Cys, Arg-273-His, Arg-248-Glu, Arg-280-Lys), on the structural domain (His-179-Tyr, Cys-176-Phe), on hydrophobic moieties in the DNA binding domain (Arg-280-Thr, Pro-151-Ser, Cys-176-Phe) and hot spot mutants (Gly-245-Cys, Arg-273-Leu, Arg-248-Glu, Arg-248-Gly), which signifies the importance of point mutations on the MDM2 interaction and nutlin3 effect, even in molecular locations related to other protein activities.

Overexpression of SKI oncoprotein leads to p53 degradation through regulation of MDM2 protein sumoylation.

Project description:Protooncogene Ski was identified based on its ability to transform avian fibroblasts in vitro. In support of its oncogenic activity, SKI was found to be overexpressed in a variety of human cancers, although the exact molecular mechanism(s) responsible for its oncogenic activity is not fully understood. We found that SKI can negatively regulate p53 by decreasing its level through up-regulation of MDM2 activity, which is mediated by the ability of SKI to enhance sumoylation of MDM2. This stimulation of MDM2 sumoylation is accomplished through a direct interaction of SKI with SUMO-conjugating enzyme E2, Ubc9, resulting in enhanced thioester bond formation and mono-sumoylation of Ubc9. A mutant SKI defective in transformation fails to increase p53 ubiquitination and is unable to increase MDM2 levels and to increase mono-sumoylation of Ubc9, suggesting that the ability of SKI to enhance Ubc9 activity is essential for its transforming function. These results established a detailed molecular mechanism that underlies the ability of SKI to cause cellular transformation while unraveling a novel connection between sumoylation and tumorigenesis, providing potential new therapeutic targets for cancer.

Binding induced folding in p53-MDM2 complex.

Project description:The MDM2 N-terminal domain can bind to the transactivation domain of p53 and downregulate its ability to activate transcription. It was found that binding with p53 stabilizes the MDM2 N-terminal domain. Thus the coupling between binding and folding is essential in the normal functional interactions between p53 and MDM2. We have performed explicit-solvent molecular dynamics simulations (MD) for both bound MDM2(N) and apo-MDM2 to study the interdependence of binding and folding in the p53-MDM2 complex. Kinetic analysis of high-temperature MD simulations shows that both bound MDM2(N) and apo-MDM2 unfold via a two-state process. Both kinetics and free energy landscape analyses indicate that bound MDM2 unfolds in the order of p53 unbinding, tertiary unfolding, and finally secondary structure unfolding. Our data show that the unfolding pathways are different between bound MDM2(N) and apo-MDM2: the unfolding order of unstable helices and tertiary contacts is reversed. Transition state analysis shows that the transition state of bound MDM2 is more nativelike and more heterogeneous than that of apo-MDM2. The predicted Phi-values suggest that the stable helices are more nativelike than other regions in both bound MDM2(N) and apo-MDM2. Within the stable helices, helix II in bound MDM2 is more nativelike than that in apo-MDM2. However, helix I and IV in bound MDM2 are less nativelike than those in apo-MDM2.

The oncoprotein HBXIP promotes human breast cancer growth through down-regulating p53 via miR-18b/MDM2 and pAKT/MDM2 pathways.

Project description:Mammalian hepatitis B X-interacting protein (HBXIP) is an 18-kDa protein that regulates a large number of transcription factors such as TF-IID, E2F1, SP1, STAT3, c-Myc, and LXR by serving as an oncogenic transcription coactivator and plays an important role in the development of breast cancer. We previously showed that HBXIP as an oncoprotein could enhance the promoter activity of MDM2 through coactivating p53, promoting the MDM2 transcription in breast cancer. In this study we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the modulation of MDM2/p53 interaction by HBXIP in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells in vitro and in vivo. We showed that HBXIP could up-regulate MDM2 through inducing DNA methylation of miR-18b, thus suppressing the miR-18b expression, leading to the attenuation of p53 in breast cancer cells. In addition, HBXIP could promote the phosphorylation of MDM2 by increasing the level of pAKT and bind to pMDM2, subsequently enhancing the interaction between MDM2 and p53 for the down-regulation of p53 in breast cancer cells. In MCF-7 breast cancer xenograft nude mice, we also observed that overexpression of HBXIP promoted breast cancer growth through the miR-18b/MDM2 and pAKT/MDM2 pathways. In conclusion, oncoprotein HBXIP suppresses miR-18b to elevate MDM2 and activates pAKT to phosphorylate MDM2 for enhancing the interaction between MDM2 and p53, leading to p53 degradation in promotion of breast cancer growth. Our findings shed light on a novel mechanism of p53 down-regulation during the development of breast cancer.

Ribosomal protein L11 negatively regulates oncoprotein MDM2 and mediates a p53-dependent ribosomal-stress checkpoint pathway.

Project description:The gene encoding p53 mediates a major tumor suppression pathway that is frequently altered in human cancers. p53 function is kept at a low level during normal cell growth and is activated in response to various cellular stresses. The MDM2 oncoprotein plays a key role in negatively regulating p53 activity by either direct repression of p53 transactivation activity in the nucleus or promotion of p53 degradation in the cytoplasm. DNA damage and oncogenic insults, the two best-characterized p53-dependent checkpoint pathways, both activate p53 through inhibition of MDM2. Here we report that the human homologue of MDM2, HDM2, binds to ribosomal protein L11. L11 binds a central region in HDM2 that is distinct from the ARF binding site. We show that the functional consequence of L11-HDM2 association, like that with ARF, results in the prevention of HDM2-mediated p53 ubiquitination and degradation, subsequently restoring p53-mediated transactivation, accumulating p21 protein levels, and inducing a p53-dependent cell cycle arrest by canceling the inhibitory function of HDM2. Interference with ribosomal biogenesis by a low concentration of actinomycin D is associated with an increased L11-HDM2 interaction and subsequent p53 stabilization. We suggest that L11 functions as a negative regulator of HDM2 and that there might exist in vivo an L11-HDM2-p53 pathway for monitoring ribosomal integrity.

Competitive binding between dynamic p53 transactivation subdomains to human MDM2 protein: implications for regulating the p53·MDM2/MDMX interaction.

Project description:The interaction between the transactivation domain of p53 (p53TAD) and the N-terminal domain of MDM2 and MDMX plays an essential role for cell function. Mutations in these proteins have been implicated in many forms of cancer. The intrinsically disordered p53TAD contains two subdomains, TAD1 and TAD2. Using NMR spectroscopy, site-directed mutagenesis, and molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate that TAD2 directly interacts with MDM2, adopting transient structures that bind to the same hydrophobic pocket of MDM2 as TAD1. Our data show that binding of TAD1 and TAD2 to MDM2 is competitive, which is further supported by the observation that the interaction of TAD2 with MDM2 can be blocked by the small molecule inhibitor nutlin-3. Our data further indicate that TAD2 interacts with MDMX in a fashion very similar to MDM2. Because TAD2 is known to have transcriptional activity, the interaction of TAD2 with MDM2/MDMX may play a direct role in the inhibition of p53 transactivation.

LIF negatively regulates tumour-suppressor p53 through Stat3/ID1/MDM2 in colorectal cancers.

Project description:Leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF) has been recently identified as a p53 target gene, which mediates the role of p53 in maternal implantation under normal physiological conditions. Here we report that LIF is a negative regulator of p53; LIF downregulates p53 protein levels and function in human colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. The downregulation of p53 by LIF is mediated by the activation of Stat3, which transcriptionally induces inhibitor of DNA-binding 1 (ID1). ID1 upregulates MDM2, a key negative regulator of p53, and promotes p53 protein degradation. LIF is overexpressed in a large percentage of CRCs. LIF overexpression promotes cellular resistance towards chemotherapeutic agents in cultured CRC cells and colorectal xenograft tumours in a largely p53-dependent manner. Overexpression of LIF is associated with a poor prognosis in CRC patients. Taken together, LIF is a novel negative regulator of p53, overexpression of LIF is an important mechanism for the attenuation of p53, which promotes chemoresistance in CRCs.

The oncoprotein HBXIP modulates the feedback loop of MDM2/p53 to enhance the growth of breast cancer.

Project description:MDM2 and p53 form a negative feedback loop, in which p53 as a transcription factor positively regulates MDM2 and MDM2 negatively regulates tumor suppressor p53 through promoting its degradation. However, the mechanism of the feedback loop is poorly understood in cancers. We had reported previously that the oncoprotein hepatitis B X-interacting protein (HBXIP) is a key oncoprotein in the development of cancer. Thus, we supposed that HBXIP might be involved in the event. Here, we observed that the expression levels of HBXIP were positively correlated to those of MDM2 in clinical breast cancer tissues. Interestingly, HBXIP was able to up-regulate MDM2 at the levels of mRNA and protein in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Mechanically, HBXIP increased the promoter activities of MDM2 through directly binding to p53 in the P2 promoter of MDM2. Strikingly, we identified that the acetyltransferase p300 was recruited by HBXIP to p53 in the promoter of MDM2. Moreover, we validated that HBXIP enhanced the p53 degradation mediated by MDM2. Functionally, the knockdown of HBXIP or/and p300 inhibited the proliferation of breast cancer cells in vitro, and the depletion of MDM2 or overexpression of p53 significantly blocked the HBXIP-promoted growth of breast cancer in vitro and in vivo. Thus, we concluded that highly expressed HBXIP accelerates the MDM2-mediated degradation of p53 in breast cancer through modulating the feedback loop of MDM2/p53, resulting in the fast growth of breast cancer cells. Our findings provide new insights into the mechanism of the acceleration of the MDM2/p53 feedback loop in the development of cancer.

mRNA display selection of an optimized MDM2-binding peptide that potently inhibits MDM2-p53 interaction.

Project description:p53 is a tumor suppressor protein that prevents tumorigenesis through cell cycle arrest or apoptosis of cells in response to cellular stress such as DNA damage. Because the oncoprotein MDM2 interacts with p53 and inhibits its activity, MDM2-p53 interaction has been a major target for the development of anticancer drugs. While previous studies have used phage display to identify peptides (such as DI) that inhibit the MDM2-p53 interaction, these peptides were not sufficiently optimized because the size of the phage-displayed random peptide libraries did not cover all of the possible sequences. In this study, we performed selection of MDM2-binding peptides from large random peptide libraries in two stages using mRNA display. We identified an optimal peptide named MIP that inhibited the MDM2-p53 and MDMX-p53 interactions 29- and 13-fold more effectively than DI, respectively. Expression of MIP fused to the thioredoxin scaffold protein in living cells by adenovirus caused stabilization of p53 through its interaction with MDM2, resulting in activation of the p53 pathway. Furthermore, expression of MIP also inhibited tumor cell proliferation in a p53-dependent manner more potently than DI. These results show that two-stage, mRNA-displayed peptide selection is useful for the rapid identification of potent peptides that target oncoproteins.

Identification of a p53-based portable degron based on the MDM2-p53 binding region.

Project description:In recent years the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) has garnered increasing interest as a target for chemotherapeutics. Due to the success of the proteasome inhibitors Bortezomib and Carfilzomib in the treatment of multiple myeloma, several new compounds have been developed to target E3 ubiquitin ligases and the proteasome in numerous human cancers. This has increased the need for new analytical methods to precisely measure intracellular enzyme activity in cells. A key component of a desired analytical method is a substrate that is capable of rapid intracellular ubiquitination yet easily incorporated into the next generation of more sophisticated UPS reporters. Portable degradation sequences, or degrons, have the ability to bind to E3 ligases and promote substrate ubiquitination when the sequence is presented in isolation or appended to other entities such as fluorescent peptide-based reporters. Previous work identified an E3 ligase (MDM2)-binding element at p53 amino acids 92-112, which was later demonstrated to be rapidly ubiquitinated in cytosolic lysates effectively functioning as a transportable degron. In this work, a shortened p53 sequence within amino acids 92-112 that displayed rapid ubiquitination kinetics was identified. A nine-member peptide library was synthesized using sequence elements of various sizes and lengths, all based on the initial 22 amino acid long sequence, containing a single ubiquitination site lysine. The ubiquitination kinetics were determined using a combination of gel electrophoresis and analytical high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to rank the members of the library and identify the optimal ubiquitination sequence. This analysis identified the five amino acid sequence, KGSYG, corresponding to residues 105-108 with an added N-terminal lysine, as a portable degron since this sequence demonstrated the most rapid ubiquitination kinetics.

P53 mdm2 inhibitors.

Project description:The protein-protein interaction (PPI) between p53 and its negative regulator MDM2 comprises one of the most important and intensely studied PPI's involved in preventing the initiation of cancer. The interaction between p53 and MDM2 is conformation-based and is tightly regulated on multiple levels. Due to the Angstrom level structural insight there is a reasonable understanding of the structural requirements needed for a molecule to bind to MDM2 and successfully inhibit the p53/MDM2 interaction. The current review summarizes the binding characteristics of the different disclosed small molecules for inhibition of MDM2 with a co-crystal structure. Synthetic access to these compounds as well as their derivatives are described in detail.
