p63 and p73 are members of the p53 protein family and have been shown to play an important role in cell death, development, and tumorigenesis. In particular, p63 has been shown to be involved in the maintenance of epidermal stem cells and in the stratification of the epidermis. Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) is a morphogen that has also been implicated to play a role in epithelial stem cell proliferation and in the development of organs. Recently, Shh has also been shown to play an important role in the progression of a variety of cancers. In this report, we show that p63 and p73 but not p53 overexpression induces Shh expression. In particular, p63gamma and p63beta (both TA and DeltaN isoforms) and TAp73beta isoform induce Shh. Expression of Shh was found to be significantly reduced in mouse embryo fibroblasts obtained from p63-/- mice. The naturally occurring p63 mutant TAp63gamma(R279H) and the tumor suppressor protein p14(ARF) inhibited the TAp63gamma-mediated transactivation of Shh. The region -228 to -102 bp of Shh promoter was found to be responsive to TAp63gamma-induced transactivation and TAp63gamma binds to regions within the Shh promoter in vivo. The results presented in this study implicate p63 in the regulation of the Shh signaling pathway. 相似文献

Post-translational modification of the p53 family members is key to their regulation. Here we report the phosphorylation of TAp63gamma, but not DeltaNp63gamma, by IkappaB kinase beta (IKKbeta). Activation of IKKbeta by gamma radiation or tumor necrosis factor-alpha led to increased TAp63gamma protein levels in cells. IKKbeta, but not its kinase-defective mutant IKKbeta-K44A, led to this observed stabilization of TAp63gamma. This stabilization of TAp63gamma in response to gamma radiation was significantly decreased in the absence of IKKbeta. Phosphorylation of TAp63gamma blocks ubiquitylation and possible degradation of this protein. We postulate that phosphorylation of TAp63gamma by IKKbeta stabilizes the TAp63gamma protein by blocking ubiquitylation-dependent degradation of this protein. 相似文献

p63 is a member of the p53 tumor suppressor family that is critical for epithelial differentiation and also has an important role in cancer progression. Currently, the molecular mechanisms governing regulation of p63 function remain largely unclear. This study identifies a unique E3 ubiquitin ligase for p63, SCF(betaTrCP1). SCF(betaTrCP1) is able to bind p63gamma isoforms, with a higher affinity for the TAp63gamma isoform. Strikingly, co-expression of TAp63gamma and betaTrCP1 leads to the stabilization of TAp63gamma. This stabilization of TAp63gamma leads to up-regulation of p21 at the mRNA and protein level by increased binding of TAp63gamma at the p21 promoter. The up-regulation of p21 causes a subsequent increase in G(1) phase cell cycle arrest. Last, SCF(betaTrCP1) is able to ubiquitylate TAp63gamma, and this ubiquitylation, as well as the increased activity of TAp63gamma, is ablated with the expression of a ubiquitin-deficient mutant of betaTrCP1 (DeltaFbetaTrCP1). Therefore, our study reveals that SCF(betaTrCP1) is an E3 ligase that activates p63 through ubiquitylation. 相似文献

p53, p63, and p73 belong to the p53 family of proteins, which mediate development, differentiation, and various other cellular responses. p53 is involved in many anti-cancer mechanisms, such as cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and the maintenance of genomic integrity. The p63 gene is controlled by two promoters that direct the expression of two isoforms, one with and one without transactivating properties, known as TAp63 and ΔNp63. In this study, p53-deficient cells (Hep3B and PC-3) and p53-expressing cells (A549 and HepG2) were treated with doxorubicin to examine the possible roles of TAp63 in these cells under genotoxic stress; TAp63 expression was induced in p53-deficient cell lines, but not in p53-expressing cell lines. The ectopic expression of p53 in p53-deficient cells (Hep3B) reduced TAp63 promoter activity, and knockdown of TAp63 attenuated doxorubicin-induced cell growth arrest by promoting cell cycle progression, leading to an increase in the percentage of G(2)/M cells. Moreover, knockdown of TAp63 increased cell sensitivity to doxorubicin-induced genomic damage. Our results suggest that TAp63 may play a compensatory role in cell cycle regulation and DNA damage repair in p53-deficient cancer cells. 相似文献

Using siRNA technology, we down-regulated in human B-lymphoblastoid TK6 cells the two major oxidative DNA glycosylases/AP lyases that repair free radical-induced base damages, hNTH1 and hOGG1. The down-regulation of hOGG1, the DNA glycosylase whose main substrate is the mutagenic but not cytotoxic 8-oxoguanine, resulted in reduced radiation cytotoxicity and decreased double strand break (DSB) formation post-irradiation. This supports the idea that the oxidative DNA glycosylases/AP lyases convert radiation-induced clustered DNA lesions into lethal DSBs and is in agreement with our previous finding that overexpression of hNTH1 and hOGG1 in TK6 cells increased radiation lethality, mutant frequency at the thymidine kinase locus and the enzymatic production of DSBs post-irradiation [N. Yang, H. Galick, S.S. Wallace, Attempted base excision repair of ionizing radiation damage in human lymphoblastoid cells produces lethal and mutagenic double strand breaks, DNA Repair (Amst) 3 (2004) 1323-1334]. Interestingly, cells deficient in hNTH1, the DNA glycosylase that repairs a major lethal single free radical damage, thymine glycol, were more radiosensitive but at the same time fewer DSBs were formed post-irradiation. These results indicate that hNTH1 plays two roles in the processing of radiation damages: repair of potentially lethal single lesions and generation of lethal DSBs at clustered damage sites. In contrast, in hydrogen peroxide-treated cells where the majority of free radical DNA damages are single lesions, the base excision repair pathway functioned to protect the cells. Here, overexpression of hNTH1 and hOGG1 resulted in reduced cell killing while suppression of glycosylase expression resulted in elevated cell death. 相似文献

The p53-related p63 gene encodes six isoforms with differing N and C termini. TAp63 isoforms possess a transactivation domain at the N terminus and are able to transactivate a set of genes, including some targets downstream of p53. Accumulating evidence indicates that TAp63 plays an important role in regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, whereas transactivation-inert deltaNp63 functions to inhibit p63 and other p53 family members. Mutations in the p63 gene that abolish p63 DNA-binding and transactivation activities cause human diseases, including ectrodactyly ectodermal dysplasia and facial clefting (EEC) syndrome. In this study, we show that mutant p63 proteins with a single amino acid substitution found in EEC syndrome are DNA binding deficient, transactivation inert, and highly stable. We demonstrate that TAp63 protein expression is tightly controlled by its specific DNA-binding and transactivation activities and that p63 is degraded in a proteasome-dependent, MDM2-independent pathway. In addition, the N-terminal transactivation domain of p63 is indispensable for its protein degradation. Furthermore, the wild-type TAp63gamma can act in trans to promote degradation of mutant TAp63gamma defective in DNA binding, and the TA domain deletion mutant of TAp63gamma inhibits transactivation activity and stabilizes the wild-type TAp63 protein. Taken together, these data suggest a feedback loop for p63 regulation, analogous to the p53-MDM2 feedback loop. 相似文献
