ARTICLE ABSTRACT
Genome-wide sequencing studies in breast cancer have recently identified frequent mutations in the zinc finger protein 668 (ZNF668), the function of which is undefined. Here, we report that ZNF668 is a nucleolar protein that physically interacts with and regulates p53 and its negative regulator MDM2. Through MDM2 binding, ZNF668 regulated autoubiquitination of MDM2 and its ability to mediate p53 ubiquitination and degradation. ZNF668 deficiency also impaired DNA damage–induced stabilization of p53. RNA interference–mediated knockdown of ZNF668 was sufficient to transform normal mammary epithelial cells. ZNF668 effectively suppressed breast cancer cell proliferation in vitro and tumorigenicity in vivo. Taken together, our studies identify ZNF668 as a novel breast tumor suppressor gene that functions in regulating p53 stability. Cancer Res; 71(20); 6524–34. ©2011 AACR.Usage metrics
