About this item
Produced in E. coli.
p53 is a much studied and complex multifunctional protein, which plays a major role in the cellular response to DNA damage and other genomic aberrations. The activation of p53 can lead to either cell cycle arrest and DNA repair, or apoptosis, through its involvement in cell cycle regulation as a trans-activator that acts to negatively regulate cell division by controlling a set of genes required for these processes. Activation and regulation of the p53 transcription pathway is controlled by a range of post-translational modifications including acetylation, phosphorylation and ubiquitinylation. In normal cells, p53 is maintained at a low level mainly through Hdm2-mediated ubiquitinylation and subsequent degradation by the proteasome. Hdm2 is a RING domain dependent ubiquitin E3 ligase that utilizes its C-terminal RING domain to promote not only p53 ubiquitinylation, predominantly at the C-terminus of p53, but also to target Hdm2 itself for auto-ubiquitinylation and subsequent degradation. The isolated Hdm2 C-terminal RING domain (residues 418-491) has been shown to be sufficient for both p53 and self-ubiquitinylation activity.
