Fig. 3. MILIP binds to and destabilizes p53.
a Induced knockdown of MILIP prolonged the half-life time of p53 protein in cycloheximide (CHX)-chase assays. Data are representatives or mean ± s.d.; n = 3 independent experiments, two-tailed Student’s t test. CHX: 40 µg/mL, DOX: 200 ng/mL. b MILIP silencing reduced p53 polyubiquitination. Data shown represent three independent experiments. c Induced knockdown of MILIP did not reduce the binding between p53 and MDM2. Data shown represent three independent experiments. d MILIP was coprecipitated with p53 using RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. Data shown represent three independent experiments. e p53 was co-pulled down with MILIP by antisense probes against MILIP using RNA pulldown assays. Data shown represent three independent experiments. f In vitro transcribed MILIP was coprecipitated with purified Flag-tagged p53 in a cell-free system using RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. Data shown represent three independent experiments. g Overexpression of MILIP but not a MILIP mutant with the −966/−1199 segment deleted (MILIP Δ−966/−1199) downregulated both endogenous (left) and overexpressed exogenous (right) p53 protein levels. Data are mean ± s.d.; n = 3 independent experiments, one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. Source data of Fig. 3a–g are provided as a Source Data file.
