Experiment

Metabolic Study in FBXO31 KO Mice
Summary Data Summary
Investigator Green, Michael
Description The tumor suppressor protein p53 plays a critical role in protecting humans from
cancer. In response to cellular stresses, such as DNA damage, p53 levels
increase and induce a variety of protective biological responses. In unstressed
cells, p53 is maintained at a low level by MDM2, a protein that interacts with
p53 and promotes its degradation. Following DNA damage, MDM2 is degraded
rapidly, resulting in increased p53 levels. Because of the essential role of
MDM2 in modulating p53 function, it is critical to understand how MDM2 levels
are regulated. Here we show that, following DNA damage, the F-box protein
FBXO31, a potential tumor suppressor, is responsible for promoting MDM2
degradation and therefore is essential for the increase in p53 levels.
