Crystal structure of human MDM2 complexed with D-peptide (12 residues)
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 PubMedThe oncoproteins MDM2 and MDMX negatively regulate the activity and stability of the tumor suppressor protein p53, conferring tumor development and survival. Antagonists targeting the p53-binding domains of MDM2 and MDMX kill tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo by reactivating the p53 pathway, promising a class of antitumor agents for cancer therapy. Aided by native chemical ligation and mirror image phage display, we recently identified a D-peptide inhibitor of the p53-MDM2 interaction termed (D)PMI-alpha (TNWYANLEKLLR) that competes with p53 for MDM2 binding at an affinity of 219 nM. Increased selection stringency resulted in a distinct D-peptide inhibitor termed (D)PMI-gamma (DWWPLAFEALLR) that binds MDM2 at an affinity of 53 nM. Structural studies coupled with mutational analysis verified the mode of action of these D-peptides as MDM2-dependent p53 activators. Despite being resistant to proteolysis, both (D)PMI-alpha and (D)PMI-gamma failed to actively traverse the cell membrane and, when conjugated to a cationic cell-penetrating peptide, were indiscriminately cytotoxic independently of p53 status. When encapsulated in liposomes decorated with an integrin-targeting cyclic-RGD peptide, however, (D)PMI-alpha exerted potent p53-dependent growth inhibitory activity against human glioblastoma in cell cultures and nude mouse xenograft models. Our findings validate D-peptide antagonists of MDM2 as a class of p53 activators for targeted molecular therapy of malignant neoplasms harboring WT p53 and elevated levels of MDM2.
