Structural highlights
DiseaseMDM2_HUMAN Note=Seems to be amplified in certain tumors (including soft tissue sarcomas, osteosarcomas and gliomas). A higher frequency of splice variants lacking p53 binding domain sequences was found in late-stage and high-grade ovarian and bladder carcinomas. Four of the splice variants show loss of p53 binding. FunctionMDM2_HUMAN E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that mediates ubiquitination of p53/TP53, leading to its degradation by the proteasome. Inhibits p53/TP53- and p73/TP73-mediated cell cycle arrest and apoptosis by binding its transcriptional activation domain. Also acts as an ubiquitin ligase E3 toward itself and ARRB1. Permits the nuclear export of p53/TP53. Promotes proteasome-dependent ubiquitin-independent degradation of retinoblastoma RB1 protein. Inhibits DAXX-mediated apoptosis by inducing its ubiquitination and degradation. Component of the TRIM28/KAP1-MDM2-p53/TP53 complex involved in stabilizing p53/TP53. Also component of the TRIM28/KAP1-ERBB4-MDM2 complex which links growth factor and DNA damage response pathways. Mediates ubiquitination and subsequent proteasome degradation of DYRK2 in nucleus. Ubiquitinates IGF1R and promotes it to proteasomal degradation.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedCritical to the inhibitory action of the oncogene product, MDM2, on the tumour suppressor, p53, is association of the N-terminal domain of MDM2 (MDM2N) with the transactivation domain of p53. The structure of MDM2N was previously solved with a p53-derived peptide, or small-molecule ligands, occupying its binding cleft, but no structure of the non-liganded MDM2N (i.e. the apo-form) has been reported. Here, we describe the solution structure and dynamics of apo-MDM2N and thus reveal the nature of the conformational changes in MDM2N that accompany binding of p53. The new structure suggests that p53 effects displacement of an N-terminal segment of apo-MDM2N that occludes access to the shallow end of the p53-binding cleft. MDM2N must also undergo an expansion upon binding, achieved through a rearrangement of its two pseudosymetrically related sub-domains resulting in outward displacements of the secondary structural elements that comprise the walls and floor of the p53-binding cleft. MDM2N becomes more rigid and stable upon binding p53. Conformational plasticity of the binding cleft of apo-MDM2N could allow the parent protein to bind specifically to several different partners, although, to date, all the known liganded structures of MDM2N are highly similar to one another. The results indicate that the more open conformation of the binding cleft of MDM2N observed in structures of complexes with small molecules and peptides is a more suitable one for ligand discovery and optimisation.
