説明
Accumulating evidence indicates that TBP (TATA-binding protein)-like protein (TLP) contributes to the regulation of stress-mediated cell cycle checkpoint and apoptotic pathways, although its physiological target genes have remained elusive. In the present study, we have demonstrated that human TAp63 is one of the direct transcriptional target genes of TLP. Enforced expression of TLP results in the transcriptional induction of the endogenous TAp63, but not of the other p53 family members such as TAp73 and p53. Consistent with these results, small interference RNA-mediated knockdown led to a significant down-regulation of the endogenous TAp63. Luciferase reporter assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis revealed that the genomic region located at positions -487 to -29, where +1 represents the transcriptional initiation site of TAp63, is required for TLP-dependent transcriptional activation of TAp63 and also TLP is efficiently recruited onto this region. Additionally, cells treated with anti-cancer drug etoposide underwent apoptosis in association with the transcriptional enhancement of TAp63 in a p53-independent manner, and the knockdown of the endogenous TLP reduced etoposide-induced apoptosis through repression of TAp63 expression. Taken together, our present study identifies a TLP-TAp63 pathway that is further implicated in stress-induced apoptosis.
