Abstract

MDM2 regulates disparate cellular events ranging from p53 homeostasis to Beta-adrenergic receptor internalisation. Moreover, MDM2 promotes G1-S progression by both p53- dependent and independent mechanisms. This proposal focused on the p53-independent pathway/s. To examine this we sought and identified MDM2 binding proteins that might mediate MDM2s effects and thus discovered MTBP. MTBP is a strong candidate target for MDM2s p53-independent cell cycle effects. We will use proteomic technology to characterise novel MTBP interacting proteins and also additional MDM2 interacting proteins to delineate the pathways in which each of these molecules function. We will also examine MDM2-MTBP interactions using molecular approaches.
