ABSTRACT

Ras-association domain family 6 (RASSF6) is a tumor suppressor that interacts with MDM2 and stabilizes p53. Caenorhabditis elegans unc-119 encodes a protein that is required for normal development of the nervous system. Humans have 2 unc-119 homologues, UNC119 and UNC119B. We have identified UNC119 as a RASSF6-interacting protein. UNC119 promotes the interaction between RASSF6 and MDM2 and stabilizes p53. Thus, UNC119 induces apoptosis by RASSF6 and p53. UNC119 depletion impairs DNA repair after DNA damage and results in polyploid cell generation. These findings support that UNC119 is a regulator of the RASSF6-MDM2-p53 axis and functions as a tumor suppressor.

ABSTRACT

The tumor suppressor Ras-association domain family member 6 (RASSF6) has Ras-association domain (RA) and Salvador/RASSF/Hippo domain (SARAH). RASSF6 antagonizes MDM2, stabilizes p53, and induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. We previously demonstrated the interaction between RASSF6 and MDM2, but did not determine how both proteins interact with each other. We have shown here that N-terminal, RA, and SARAH domains of RASSF6 interact with MDM2 at distinct regions. RA binds to the RING-finger region of MDM2 and stabilizes p53. SARAH binds RA and blocks the interaction between RA and MDM2. RA overexpression induces p53-dependent apoptosis and senescence. In the presence of active KRas, the interaction between RA and MDM2 is recovered. In this way, RA and SARAH play an important role in Ras-mediated regulation of p53.
