Targeting MDM2 affects spastin protein levels and functions: implications for HSP treatment by Francesca Sardina, Federica Polverino, Sonia Valentini, Claudia Carsetti, Elisabetta Falvo, Giada Tisci, Silvia Soddu, Fabiola Moretti, Alessandro Paiardini, Cinzia Rinaldo

“…By biochemical and functional experiments, we demonstrate that MDM2 binds spastin and regulates its levels in a post-transcriptional manner independently of the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. Of relevance, treatment of spastin-deficient cells with the MDM2 inhibitor Nutlin-3a can restore spastin levels and functions, such as cytokinetic abscission and sorting of transferrin receptor. …”
