MicroRNA-34a Modulates MDM4 Expression via a Target Site in the Open Reading Frame
1 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MDM4, also called MDMX or HDMX in humans, is an important negative regulator of the p53 tumor suppressor. MDM4 is overexpressed in about 17% of all cancers and more frequently in some types, such as colon cancer or retinoblastoma. MDM4 is known to be post-translationally regulated by MDM2-mediated ubiquitination to decrease its protein levels in response to genotoxic stress, resulting in accumulation...
