Abstract
We address here the involvement of the homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2)/p53 complex on MDM2 regulation following apoptotic DNA damage. Our results provide a plausible transcriptional (p53-dependent) and posttranscriptional (p53-independent) double mechanism by which HIPK2 accomplishes MDM2 downmodulation. First, in wtp53-carrying cells HIPK2-dependent p53Ser46 phosphorylation selectively inhibits MDM2 at transcriptional level. Secondly, HIPK2 interacts with MDM2 in vitro and in vivo and promotes MDM2 nuclear export and proteasomal degradation, in p53-null cellular context. This p53-independent effect is likely mediated by HIPK2 catalytic activity and we found that HIPK2 phosphorylates MDM2 in vitro. In response to DNA damage, depletion of HIPK2 by RNA-interference abolishes MDM2 protein degradation. We propose that HIPK2 contributes to drug-induced modulation of MDM2 activity at transcriptional (through p53Ser46 phosphorylation) and posttranscriptional (through p53-independent subcellular re-localization and proteasomal degradation) levels.
