HDM2 in complex with a beta-hairpin
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 PubMedInhibitors of the interaction between the p53 tumor-suppressor protein and its natural human inhibitor HDM2 are attractive as potential anticancer agents. In earlier work we explored designing beta-hairpin peptidomimetics of the alpha-helical epitope on p53 that would bind tightly to the p53-binding site on HDM2. The beta-hairpin is used as a scaffold to display energetically hot residues in an optimal array for interaction with HDM2. The initial lead beta-hairpin mimetic, with a weak inhibitory activity (IC(50)=125 microM), was optimized to afford cyclo-(L-Pro-Phe-Glu-6ClTrp-Leu-Asp-Trp-Glu-Phe-D-Pro) (where 6ClTrp=L-6-chlorotryptophan), which has an affinity almost 1,000 times higher (IC(50)=140 nM). In this work, insights into the origins of this affinity maturation based on structure-activity studies and an X-ray crystal structure of the inhibitor/HDM2(residues 17-125) complex at 1.4 A resolution are described. The crystal structure confirms the beta-hairpin conformation of the bound ligand, and also reveals that a significant component of the affinity increase arises through new aromatic/aromatic stacking interactions between side chains around the hairpin and groups on the surface of HDM2.
