Human wild-type and mutant p53 genes were expressed under the control of a galactose-inducible promoter in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The growth rate of the yeast was reduced in cells expressing wild-type p53, whereas cells transformed with mutant p53 genes derived from human tumors were less affected. Coexpression of the normal p53 protein with the human cell cycle-regulated protein kinase CDC2Hs resulted in much more pronounced growth inhibition that for p53 alone. Cells expressing p53 and CDC2Hs were partially arrested in G1, as determined by morphological analysis and flow cytometry. p53 was phosphorylated when expressed in the yeast, but differences in phosphorylation did not explain the growth inhibition attributable to coexpression of p53 and CDC2Hs. These results suggest that wild-type p53 has a growth-inhibitory activity in S. cerevisiae similar to that observed in mammalian cells and suggests that this yeast may provide a useful model for defining the pathways through which p53 acts.

Expression of a p53-associated protein, Mdm-2 (murine double minute-2), can inhibit p53-mediated transactivation. In this study, overexpression of the Mdm-2 protein was found to result in the immortalization of primary rat embryo fibroblasts (REFs) and, in conjunction with an activated ras gene, in the transformation of REFs. The effect of wild-type p53 on the transforming properties of mdm-2 was determined by transfecting REFs with ras, mdm-2, and normal p53 genes. Transfection with ras plus mdm-2 plus wild-type p53 resulted in a 50% reduction in the number of transformed foci (relative to the level for ras plus mdm-2); however, more than half (9 of 17) of the cell lines derived from these foci expressed low levels of a murine p53 protein with the characteristics of a wild-type p53. These results are in contrast to previous studies which demonstrated that even minimal levels of wild-type p53 are not tolerated in cells transformed by ras plus myc, E1A, or mutant p53. The mdm-2 oncogene can overcome the previously demonstrated growth-suppressive properties of p53.

Key Points The HAT complex member TRRAP is vital for maintaining high p53 levels by shielding it against the natural p53 degradation machinery. Acetylation-modifying complexes regulate p53 protein stability, which may provide a basis for therapeutic targeting of mutant p53.
