HIV-associated dementia (HAD) is the most common AIDS-associated neurological disorder and is characterized by the development of synaptodendritic injury to neurons. To advance HAD therapy, it is crucial to identify the mechanisms and factors involved. The viral protein HIV-1 Tat is among those factors and is released by HIV-1-infected cells and can be taken up by adjacent neuronal cells leading to neurotoxic effects. Multiple cellular host proteins have been identified as Tat cofactors in causing neuronal injury. Interestingly, most of these factors function through activation of the p53 pathway. We have now examined the ability of Tat to activate the p53 pathway leading to the induction of endogenous p53 and p73 in neuronal cells. We found that Tat induced p53 and p73 levels in SH-SY5Y cells and that this induction caused retraction of neurites. In the absence of either p53 or p73, Tat failed to induce dendritic retraction or to activate the proapoptotic proteins, such as Bax. Further, we found that p53-accumulation in Tat-treated cells depends on the presence of p73. Therefore, we conclude that Tat contributes to neuronal degeneration through activation of a pathway involving p53 and p73. This information will be valuable for the development of therapeutic agents that affect these pathways to protect CNS neurons and prevent HAD. 相似文献

The negative regulation of p53, a major human tumor suppressor, by Mdm2 and Mdmx is crucial for the survival of a cell, whereas its aberrant function is a common feature of cancer. Both Mdm proteins act through the spatial occlusion of the p53 transactivation (TA) domain and by the ubiquitination of p53, resulting in its degradation. Two p53 homologues, p63 and p73, have been described in humans. Unlike p53, these proteins regulate developmental processes rather than genome stability. Both p63 and p73 contain TA domains homologous to that of p53, but relatively little is known about their regulation by Mdm2 or Mdmx. Here, we present a detailed characterization of the interaction of Mdm2 and Mdmx with the TA domains of p63 and p73. Earlier reports of Mdm2 and Mdmx interactions with p73 are substantiated by the detailed quantitative characterization reported in this study. Most importantly, earlier contradictions concerning the presumed interaction of the Mdm proteins with p63 are convincingly resolved and for the first time, the affinities of these interactions are determined. Finally, the contribution of these findings to our understanding of the physiological role of these interactions is discussed. 相似文献
