BACKGROUND: The p53 tumor suppressor protein is mainly regulated by alterations
in the half-life of the protein, resulting in significant differences in p53
protein levels in cells. The major regulator of this process is Mdm2, which
ubiquitinates p53 and targets it for proteasomal degradation. This process can be
enhanced or reduced by proteins that associate with p53 or Mdm2 and several
proteins have been identified with such an activity. Furthermore, additional
ubiquitin ligases for p53 have been identified in recent years. Nevertheless, our
understanding of how p53 abundance and Mdm2 activity are regulated remains
incomplete. Here we describe a cell culture based overexpression screen to
identify evolutionarily conserved regulators of the p53/Mdm2 circuit. The results
from this large-scale screening method will contribute to a better understanding
of the regulation of these important proteins. METHODS: Expression screening was
based on co-transfection of H1299 cells with pools of cDNA's from a Medaka
library together with p53, Mdm2 and, as internal control, Ror2. After cell lysis,
SDS-PAGE/WB analysis was used to detect alterations in these proteins. RESULTS:
More than one hundred hits that altered the abundance of either p53, Mdm2, or
both were identified in the primary screen. Subscreening of the library pools
that were identified in the primary screen identified several potential novel
regulators of p53 and/or Mdm2. We also tested whether the human orthologues of
the Medaka genes regulate p53 and/or Mdm2 abundance. All human orthologues
regulated p53 and/or Mdm2 abundance in the same manner as the proteins from
Medaka, which underscores the suitability of this screening methodology for the
identification of new modifiers of p53 and Mdm2. CONCLUSIONS: Despite enormous
efforts in the last two decades, many unknown regulators for p53 and Mdm2
abundance are predicted to exist. This cross-species approach to identify
evolutionarily conserved regulators demonstrates that our Medaka unigene cDNA
library represents a powerful tool to screen for these novel regulators of the
p53/Mdm2 pathway.
