Abstract

p53 undergoes various post-translational modifications, including phosphorylation, ubiquitination, sumoylation, acetylation, methylation, and poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation. Modification of p53 widely affects to various functions of p53. Acetylation and phosphorylation of p53 have been studied for regulating its transcriptional activity which is observed in various stress condition. Otherwise, ubiquitination of p53 by Mdm2 has been well-studied as a canonical ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation pathway. Moreover several investigators have recently reported that ubiquitination of p53 modulates not only its proteasome-dependent degradation by poly-ubiquitination but also its localization and transcriptional activity by mono-ubiquitination which usually does not serve the proteasome dependent degradation. Here we review recent studies on the cellular functions of p53 regulated by post-translational modifications, particularly focusing on mechanisms of ubiquitination.

p53은 전사인자로서 세포의 사멸이나 세포주기 조절 등 다양한 세포 활성을 보이기 때문에 일반적인 환경에서는 매우 낮은 수준으로 단백질 양이 확인된다. p53의 단백질 양과 활성은 다양한 세포 내 신호에 의하여 이루어지는 후전사 변형을 통하여 조절 받는다. 이중 유비퀴틴화는 세포 내에서 p53 단백질의 발현 수준이 낮게 유지되는 것이 가능하게 하는 대표적인 기전이다. 이러한 기전을 일으키는 대표적인 p53의 E3 ligase로는 mdm2, Pirh2, COP1, ARF-BP1 등이 보고되어 있으며, 각각 negative feedback loop나 다른 기전을 통하여 p53 단백질의 분해를 유도하여 세포의 항상성을 조절한다. 이 밖에도 p53은 mdm2나 WWP1, UBC13, MSL2와 같은 E3 ligase로 인해서 모노 유비퀴틴화 되고, p53의 세포 내 위치가 조절되어 전사인자로서의 활성이 억제된다. p53의 세포 내 위치와는 관계없이 p53의 전사인자로써의 활성 또한 아세틸화와 유비퀴틴화의 경쟁적 반응으로 인해 조절 될 수 있다. E4F1에 의한 유비퀴틴화는 세포주기와 관련된 유전자의 발현을 증가시키되 세포사멸 관련 유전자의 발현은 감소시키는 것으로 보아 p53의 수많은 downstream gene의 발현 또한 유비퀴틴화를 통해 조절 될 수 있음이 제시되었다. 앞으로의 연구는 신규 E3 ligase에 의한 p53의 유비퀴틴화 기전 연구 뿐 아니라 이와 관련된 다른 변형과의 관계에 대한 연구 또한 매우 중요하게 부각되어 질 것으로 예상된다.
