Summary
This gene encodes a nuclear protein that contains a p53 binding domain at the N-terminus and a RING finger domain at the C-terminus, and shows structural similarity to p53-binding protein MDM2. Both proteins bind the p53 tumor suppressor protein and inhibit its activity, and have been shown to be overexpressed in a variety of human cancers. However, unlike MDM2 which degrades p53, this protein inhibits p53 by binding its transcriptional activation domain. This protein also interacts with MDM2 protein via the RING finger domain, and inhibits the latter's degradation. So this protein can reverse MDM2-targeted degradation of p53, while maintaining suppression of p53 transactivation and apoptotic functions. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3, also known as MDM4-211 or HDMX211) is missing 8 consecutive coding exons, and uses an alternate acceptor splice site at the 3' terminal exon compared to variant 1. However, it maintains the reading frame, and encodes a very short isoform (3) that lacks the N-terminal p53 binding domain, but retains the ring finger domain at the C-terminus. This isoform has been shown to bind and stabilize oncoprotein HDM2, and also indirectly stabilize p53 protein by counteracting its degradation by HDM2. Screening of lung cancer biopsies shows the presence of this isoform in samples that overexpress HDM2 protein, supporting a pathologic role for this protein (PMID:16266988).

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (4, also known as MDM4-S, HDMX-S, or HDMX-E) lacks an internal coding exon compared to variant 1. The resulting isoform (4) has a much shorter and alternate C-terminus compared to isoform 1. Annotation of this protein causes this transcript to be a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD); however, this protein was shown in PMID: 10075736 to be biologically valid.

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (6, also known as MDM4-ALT1, XALT1, or HDMX-ALT1) lacks four consecutive exons compared to variant 1. The resulting isoform (6) has a shorter and distinct C-terminus compared to isoform 1. Annotation of this protein causes this transcript to be a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD); however, since transcript variant 4 escapes NMD, it is likely that isoform 6 is also biologically valid.
