The tumor suppressor p53 lies at the center of a protein-signaling network that responds to many types of stress, and p53 activation leads to cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. We recently identifiedATM andp53-associatedKZNF protein (Apak) as a negative regulator of p53-mediated apoptosis. After treatment of cells with methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), Apak is phosphorylated by ATM kinase and dissociates from p53, resulting in p53 activation and induction of apoptosis. However, the mechanism by which Apak is regulated in response to other types of DNA damage signals remains unclear. Here, we show that four of seven types of DNA damage signals we examined (induction by etoposide, doxorubicin, camptothecin and cisplatin treatment) resulted in significant Apak phosphorylation and dissociation of Apak from p53, releasing the inhibition of p53 transcriptional activity. In contrast, Apak was not phosphorylated at Ser68 after 5-fluorouracil or α-lipoic acid treatment and persistently inhibited p53 activity. These findings provide evidence that the Apak-p53 interaction is regulated differentially by various DNA damage signals.
