RESUMO
The MDM2 homolog MDMX is an important regulator of p53 activity during embryonic development. MDMX inactivation in mice results in embryonic lethality in a p53-dependent fashion. The expression level of MDMX is not induced by DNA damage, and its role in stress response is unclear. We show here that ectopically expressed MDMX is mainly localized in the cytoplasm. DNA damage promotes nuclear translocation of MDMX in cells with or without p53. Coexpression of MDM2 or p53 is sufficient to induce MDMX nuclear translocation, suggesting that activation of p53 and induction of MDM2 expression can contribute to this process. Stable transfection of MDMX into U2OS cells does not alter p53 level but results in reduced p53 DNA-binding activity and reduced MDM2 expression. The ability of ARF (alternate reading frame of INK4a) to activate p53 is also significantly inhibited by expression of MDMX. These results suggest that MDMX function may be regulated by DNA damage. Furthermore, MDMX may complement MDM2 in regulating p53 during embryonic development due to its ability to inhibit p53 in the presence of ARF.
