Disease relevance of TP53I3

  • Here, we describe the transcriptional activity of the p53 mutant C277Y isolated from a Ewing's sarcoma with high constitutive pig3 expression [1].
 

High impact information on TP53I3

  • Here we show that p53 directly binds and activates the PIG3 promoter, but not through the previously described DNA element [2].
  • Instead, p53 interacts with a pentanucleotide microsatellite sequence within the PIG3 promoter (TGYCC)n where Y=C or T [2].
  • Moreover, this sequence of PIG3 is the first p53-responsive element found to be polymorphic [2].
  • One of the p53 target genes, p53-inducible gene 3 (PIG3), encodes a protein with significant homology to oxidoreductases, enzymes involved in cellular responses to oxidative stress and irradiation [3].
  • Depletion of BRCA1 in wild-type-p53-expressing cells abolished the induction of such repair genes as p53R2, while the expression of PIG3, an apoptosis-inducing gene, was still induced [4].
 

Biological context of TP53I3

  • The pentanucleotide microsatellite sequence present in exon 1 of the pig3 gene was found to be responsible for p53-C277Y-mediated activation [1].
  • The p53-inducible gene 3 (PIG3) is a transcriptional target of the tumor suppressor protein p53 and is thought to play a role in apoptosis [5].
  • PIG3AS results from alternative pre-mRNA splicing that skips exon 4 of the five exons included in the PIG3 transcript [5].
  • UV-dependent alternative splicing uncouples p53 activity and PIG3 gene function through rapid proteolytic degradation [5].
  • In unstressed cells and after most DNA damage conditions that induce transcription from the PIG3 gene, production of the PIG3 transcript dominates [5].
 

Anatomical context of TP53I3

  • Expression of endogenous pig3 and MDM2 genes was further enhanced on irradiation of this cell line [1].
 

Associations of TP53I3 with chemical compounds

  • The flavine-dependent oxidoreductase inhibitor diphenylene iodonium failed to inhibit generation of ROS in irradiated OCI/AML-2 cells, indicating that the mechanism is unlikely to involve the TP53-induced gene PIG3 [6].
