Figure Lengend Snippet: ZBP-89 induces wild-type p53 protein accumulation. (A) AGS cells were mock infected or infected with the indicated recombinant adenoviruses. The protein expression levels of Flag-tagged ZBP-89, wild-type p53, procaspase-3, and p21waf1 were measured by immunoblotting. Lane 1, mock infection; lane 2, Ad5-vector; lane 3, Ad5-ZBP-89. (B) ZBP-89 and induced p53 expression colocalizes to the nucleus. The AGS cells were infected with control Ad5-β-gal or Ad5-ZBP-89 at an MOI of 10. Forty-eight hours after infection, the cells were immunostained with mouse anti-p53 (green) and rabbit anti-ZBP-89 (red) antibodies. Left, Ad5-β-gal-infected cells; right, Ad5-ZBP-89-infected cells. DAPI was used to stain the nuclei (blue). Yellow indicates colocalization of ZBP-89 and p53, which were photographed with a dual filter. (C) Flow cytometry analysis of HCT 116 wild-type and p53 null cells. Mock-infected, Ad5-vector, or Ad5-ZBP-89 recombinant adenoviruses were used infect HCT 116 wild-type and p53 null cells at an MOI of 40 as described above prior to flow analysis. (D) The sub-G1 population was determined by flow cytometry as described above. Shown are the means ± standard errors of the means for three experiments.

Figure Lengend Snippet: ZBP-89 stabilizes the p53 protein. (A) AGS and HCT 116 cells were infected with control and ZBP-89-expressing adenovirus vectors at an MOI of 10 for 2 days. Total RNA was prepared for Northern blot analysis. The blot was first probed with a p53 riboprobe (top) and then stripped and reprobed for GAPDH (bottom). Lanes 1 and 4, mock infection; lanes 2 and 5, Ad5-β-gal; lanes 3 and 6, Ad5-ZBP-89. (B) AGS cells were infected with the control Ad5-β-gal or Ad5-ZBP-89 for 16 h. The half-life of p53 was then determined by [35S]methionine pulse-chase analysis. The p53 protein was immunoprecipitated with mouse anti-p53 antibody (DO-1) and then resolved on a NOVEX 4 to 12% gradient gel. (C) The p53 band intensity was quantified by PhosphorImager analysis. Band intensities were expressed as percentages of the control signal (pulse only, no chase). Results shown are representative of three experiments.

Figure Lengend Snippet: ZBP-89 interacts with p53 in vivo and in vitro. (A) Coimmunoprecipitation of p53 and ZBP-89 from mock-infected AGS cells (lane 1) or from cells infected with Ad5-β-gal (lane 2) or Ad5-ZBP-89 (lane 3). After cell lysis, immunoprecipitation (IP) was performed with the polyclonal p53 antibody followed by immunoblotting with p53 and Flag M2 antibodies. (B) Immunoprecipitation of ZBP-89 and p53 was performed with in vitro-transcribed and -translated ZBP-89 and p53 proteins. Lane 1, input of [35S]methionine-labeled ZBP-89; lane 2, [35S]methionine-labeled p53; lane 3, unlabeled ZBP-89 incubated with radiolabeled p53 and immunoprecipitated with control rabbit serum; lane 4, unlabeled ZBP-89 incubated with radiolabeled p53 and immunoprecipitated with rabbit ZBP-89 antibody; lane 5, unlabeled p53 incubated with radiolabeled ZBP-89 and immunoprecipitated with control rabbit serum; lane 6, unlabeled p53 incubated with radiolabeled ZBP-89 and immunoprecipitated with rabbit anti-p53 antibody. PI, preimmune serum. (C) Mapping of the p53-interacting domain of ZBP-89. The various ZBP-89 constructs used in GST pull-down assays are shown. The ZBP-89 GST fusion proteins were incubated with [35S]methionine-labeled, in vitro-translated p53, pelleted, and then analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Lane 1, input of p53; lane 2, GST alone. (D) Mapping of the ZBP-89-interacting domain of p53. The various p53 constructs used in GST pull-down assays are shown. These proteins were incubated with [35S]methionine-labeled, in vitro-translated ZBP-89 and analyzed as described above for p53. Lane 1, input of labeled ZBP-89; lane 2, GST alone. (E) GST pull-down was performed in the presence of 10 μg of ethidium bromide/ml, and blotting was performed with the M2 anti-Flag antibody. (F) Schematic representation of the ZBP-89 and p53 interaction domains. ZBP-89 interacts with amino acids 160 to 393 of p53. p53 contains an activation domain (AD), DNA binding domain (DNA BD), tetramerization domain (TD), and regulatory domain (RD). p53 binds to the zinc finger DNA binding domain of ZBP-89 (amino acids 154 to 300). ZBP-89 contains an acidic domain (AD), zinc finger DNA binding domain, basic domain (BD), and C-terminal domain (C-TER).

Relative luciferase activities were obtained by normalizing the luciferase activity with β-galactosidase activity. Values are the means ± standard errors of the means (SEM) for three independent experiments performed in triplicate.

Relative luciferase activities were obtained by normalizing the luciferase activity with β-galactosidase activity. Shown are the means ± SEM for three experiments performed in triplicate.

Relative luciferase activities were obtained by normalizing the luciferase activity with β-galactosidase activity. Values are means ± standard errors of the means from three independent experiments performed in triplicate. (D) Western blot analysis of transiently transfected HCT 116 p53−/− cells.
