DNA damage immediate cellular response requires the activation of p53 by kinases. We found that p53 forms a basal stable complex with VRK1, a Ser-Thr kinase that responds to UV-induced DNA damage by specifically phosphorylating p53. This interaction takes place through the p53 DNA binding domain, and frequent DNA-contact mutants of p53, such as R273H, R248H or R280K, do not disrupt the complex. UV-induced DNA damage activates VRK1, and is accompanied by phosphorylation of p53 at Thr-18 before it accumulates. We propose that the VRK1-p53 basal complex is an early-warning system for immediate cellular responses to DNA damage.
DNA 损伤的即刻细胞反应需要激酶激活 p53。我们发现 p53 与 VRK1 形成基础稳定复合物,VRK1 是一种 Ser-Thr 激酶,通过特异性磷酸化 p53 对 UV 诱导的 DNA 损伤做出反应。这种相互作用发生在 p53 的 DNA 结合域,并且 p53 的频繁 DNA 接触突变体,如 R273H、R248H 或 R280K,不会破坏复合物。UV 诱导的 DNA 损伤激活 VRK1,并伴随着 p53 在积累之前在 Thr-18 处的磷酸化。我们提出 VRK1-p53 基础复合物是对 DNA 损伤的即刻细胞反应的早期预警系统。
