Critical roles for the serine 20, but not the serine 15, phosphorylation site and for the polyproline domain in regulating p53 turnover.

ABSTRACT: The p53 tumour suppressor protein is a short-lived transcription factor that becomes stabilized in response to a wide range of cellular stresses. Ubiquitination and the targeting of p53 for degradation by the proteasome are mediated by Mdm2 (mouse double minute clone 2), a negative regulatory partner of p53. Previous studies have suggested that DNA-damage-induced phosphorylation of p53 at key N-terminal sites has a pivotal role in regulating the interaction with Mdm2 but the precise role of phosphorylation of serines 15 and 20 is still unclear. Here we show that replacement of serine 15 and a range of other key N-terminal phosphorylation sites with alanine, which cannot be phosphorylated, has little effect on the ubiquitination and degradation of full-length human p53. In contrast, replacement of serine 20 makes p53 highly sensitive to Mdm2-mediated turnover. These results define distinct roles for serines 15 and 20, two sites previously demonstrated to be dependent on phosphorylation through mechanisms mediated by DNA damage and ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated). We also show that the polyproline region of p53, a domain that has a key role in p53-induced apoptosis, exerts a critical influence over the Mdm2-mediated turnover of p53.

DeltaNp63 transcriptionally regulates ATM to control p53 Serine-15 phosphorylation.

Project description:BACKGROUND: DeltaNp63alpha is an epithelial progenitor cell marker that maintains epidermal stem cell self-renewal capacity. Previous studies revealed that UV-damage induced p53 phosphorylation is confined to DeltaNp63alpha-positive cells in the basal layer of human epithelium. RESULTS: We now report that phosphorylation of the p53 tumour suppressor is positively regulated by DeltaNp63alpha in immortalised human keratinocytes. DeltaNp63alpha depletion by RNAi reduces steady-state ATM mRNA and protein levels, and attenuates p53 Serine-15 phosphorylation. Conversely, ectopic expression of DeltaNp63alpha in p63-null tumour cells stimulates ATM transcription and p53 Serine-15 phosphorylation. We show that ATM is a direct DeltaNp63alpha transcriptional target and that the DeltaNp63alpha response element localizes to the ATM promoter CCAAT sequence. Structure-function analysis revealed that the DeltaNp63-specific TA2 transactivation domain mediates ATM transcription in coordination with the DNA binding and SAM domains. CONCLUSIONS: Germline p63 point mutations are associated with a range of ectodermal developmental disorders, and targeted p63 deletion in the skin causes premature ageing. The DeltaNp63alpha-ATM-p53 damage-response pathway may therefore function in epithelial development, carcinogenesis and the ageing processes.

p53 localization at centrosomes during mitosis and postmitotic checkpoint are ATM-dependent and require serine 15 phosphorylation.

Project description:We recently demonstrated that the p53 oncosuppressor associates to centrosomes in mitosis and this association is disrupted by treatments with microtubule-depolymerizing agents. Here, we show that ATM, an upstream activator of p53 after DNA damage, is essential for p53 centrosomal localization and is required for the activation of the postmitotic checkpoint after spindle disruption. In mitosis, p53 failed to associate with centrosomes in two ATM-deficient, ataxiatelangiectasia-derived cell lines. Wild-type ATM gene transfer reestablished the centrosomal localization of p53 in these cells. Furthermore, wild-type p53 protein, but not the p53-S15A mutant, not phosphorylatable by ATM, localized at centrosomes when expressed in p53-null K562 cells. Finally, Ser15 phosphorylation of endogenous p53 was detected at centrosomes upon treatment with phosphatase inhibitors, suggesting that a p53 dephosphorylation step at centrosome contributes to sustain the cell cycle program in cells with normal mitotic spindles. When dissociated from centrosomes by treatments with spindle inhibitors, p53 remained phosphorylated at Ser15. AT cells, which are unable to phosphorylate p53, did not undergo postmitotic proliferation arrest after nocodazole block and release. These data demonstrate that ATM is required for p53 localization at centrosome and support the existence of a surveillance mechanism for inhibiting DNA reduplication downstream of the spindle assembly checkpoint

The DNA binding and accumulation of p53 from breast cancer cell lines and the link with serine 15 phosphorylation.

Project description:Stress treatment generally causes the post-translational modification and accumulation of the p53 protein, although the role of these aspects has not been always understood in relation to this protein's tumor suppressor activity. We analyzed these attributes of p53 in eight different breast cancer cell lines, with either wild-type or mutant p53 protein, in response to oxidative stress. We found that the wild-type p53 protein from MCF-7 and ZR-75-1 cells binds with different affinity to 12 gene sequences covering several pathways regulated by p53. Treatment of MCF-7 cells with H2O2 caused an increase in this binding affinity while this same treatment of ZR-75-1 cells caused the p53 protein to lose binding affinity to several genes. The mutant p53 proteins from all cell lines had minimal to weak binding to these sequences even after treatment with H2O2. The p53 protein from the ZR-75-1 cells and three cell lines with mutant p53 showed serine 15 phosphorylated protein, but we found no correlation between that modification and the levels or localization of this protein although DNA binding affinity of wild-type protein might be affected by this modification. From this and other work, it appears that the mutation status of the TP53 gene alone cannot predict the activity of this tumor suppressor since cell lines with the same genetic information do not show the same properties of this protein.

Induction of p53 Phosphorylation at Serine 20 by Resveratrol Is Required to Activate p53 Target Genes, Restoring Apoptosis in MCF-7 Cells Resistant to Cisplatin.

Project description:Resistance to cisplatin (CDDP) is a major cause of cancer treatment failure, including human breast cancer. The tumor suppressor protein p53 is a key factor in the induction of cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, and apoptosis in response to cellular stimuli. This protein is phosphorylated in serine 15 and serine 20 during DNA damage repair or in serine 46 to induce apoptosis. Resveratrol (Resv) is a natural compound representing a promising chemosensitizer for cancer treatment that has been shown to sensitize tumor cells through upregulation and phosphorylation of p53 and inhibition of RAD51. We developed a CDDP-resistant MCF-7 cell line variant (MCF-7R) to investigate the effect of Resv in vitro in combination with CDDP over the role of p53 in overcoming CDDP resistance in MCF-7R cells. We have shown that Resv induces sensitivity to CDDP in MCF-7 and MCF-7R cells and that the downregulation of p53 protein expression and inhibition of p53 protein activity enhances resistance to CDDP in both cell lines. On the other hand, we found that Resv induces serine 20 (S20) phosphorylation in chemoresistant cells to activate p53 target genes such as PUMA and BAX, restoring apoptosis. It also changed the ratio between BCL-2 and BAX, where BCL-2 protein expression was decreased and at the same time BAX protein was increased. Interestingly, Resv attenuates CDDP-induced p53 phosphorylation in serine 15 (S15) and serine 46 (S46) probably through dephosphorylation and deactivation of ATM. It also activates different kinases, such as CK1, CHK2, and AMPK to induce phosphorylation of p53 in S20, suggesting a novel mechanism of p53 activation and chemosensitization to CDDP.

Phosphorylation of p53 Serine 46 contributes to target gene selectivity of p53 (Exon)

Project description:The tumor suppressor p53 plays a crucial role in cellular growth control inducing a plethora of cellular response pathways. The molecular mechanisms that discriminate between the distinct p53-responses towards different stress treatments have remained largely elusive. Here, we have analyzed the p53-regulated pathways induced by two chemotherapeutical treatments, Actinomycin D inducing growth arrest and Etoposide resulting in apoptosis. We found that the genome-wide p53-binding patterns are almost identical upon both treatments notwithstanding transcriptional differences that we observed in genome-wide transcriptome analysis. To assess the role of post-translational modifications in target gene choice and activation we investigated the extent of phosphorylation of Serine 46 of p53 bound to DNA (p53-pS46), a modification that has been linked to apoptosis-pathways, and the extent of phosphorylation of Serine 15 (p53-pS15), a general p53-activation mark. Interestingly, the overall extent of S46 phosphorylation of p53 bound to DNA is considerably higher in cells directed towards apoptosis while the degree of phosphorylation at S15 of DNA bound p53 remains highly similar upon both treatments. Moreover, our data suggest that, following different chemotherapeutical treatments, the extent of chromatin-associated p53 phosphorylated at S46 but not at pS15 is higher on certain apoptosis related target genes, including the BAX and PUMA genes. These data provide evidence that cell fate decisions are not made primarily on the level of general p53 DNA-binding, but possibly through post-translational modifications of chromatin bound p53.

Serine phosphorylation regulates disabled-1 early isoform turnover independently of Reelin.

Project description:The Reelin-Disabled 1 (Dab1) signaling pathway plays an important role in neuronal cell migration during brain development. Dab1, an intracellular adapter protein which is tyrosine phosphorylated upon Reelin stimulation, has been directly implicated in the transmission and termination of Reelin-mediated signaling. Two main forms of Dab1 have been identified in the developing chick retina, an early isoform (Dab1-E) expressed in progenitor cells and a late isoform (Dab1-L, a.k.a. Dab1) expressed in differentiated cells. Dab1-E is missing two Src family kinase (SFK) phosphorylation sites that are critical for Reelin-Dab1 signaling and is not tyrosine phosphorylated. We have recently demonstrated a role for Dab1-E in the maintenance of retinal progenitor cells. Here, we report that Dab1-E is phosphorylated at serine/threonine residues independent of Reelin. Cdk2, highly expressed in retinal progenitor cells, mediates Dab1-E phosphorylation at serine 475 which in turn promotes ubiquitination-triggered proteasome degradation of Dab1-E. Inhibition of protein phosphatase 1 and/or protein phosphatase 2A leads to increased Dab1-E instability. We propose that Dab1 turnover is regulated by both Reelin-independent serine/threonine phosphorylation and Reelin-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation.

Serine 15 phosphorylation of p53 directs its interaction with B56gamma and the tumor suppressor activity of B56gamma-specific protein phosphatase 2A.

Project description:Earlier studies have demonstrated a functional link between B56gamma-specific protein phosphatase 2A (B56gamma-PP2A) and p53 tumor suppressor activity. Upon DNA damage, a complex including B56gamma-PP2A and p53 is formed which leads to Thr55 dephosphorylation of p53, induction of the p53 transcriptional target p21, and the inhibition of cell proliferation. Although an enhanced interaction between p53 and B56gamma is observed after DNA damage, the underlying mechanism and its significance in PP2A tumor-suppressive function remain unclear. In this study, we show that the increased interaction between B56gamma and p53 after DNA damage requires ATM-dependent phosphorylation of p53 at Ser15. In addition, we demonstrate that the B56gamma3-induced inhibition of cell proliferation, induction of cell cycle arrest in G(1), and blockage of anchorage-independent growth are also dependent on Ser15 phosphorylation of p53 and p53-B56gamma interaction. Taken together, our results provide a mechanistic link between Ser15 phosphorylation-mediated p53-B56gamma interaction and the modulation of p53 tumor suppressor activity by PP2A. We also show an important link between ATM activity and the tumor-suppressive function of B56gamma-PP2A.
