The tumor suppressor protein p53 is ubiquitinated and neddylated by MDM2 and then degraded by 26S proteasome. However, p53 is stabilized by the HAUSP (Herpes-virus-associated ubiquitin-specific protease) deubiquitinating enzyme. In this study, we discovered that rat HAUSP (rHAUSP) is polyubiquitinated, polyneddylated, and dimerized using co-immunoprecipitation assays. This suggests that rHAUSP may function as a dimer or multimer and is also degraded through the proteasome-mediated degradation. Transfection of rHAUSP into RGC-Lac-Z cell line with the integrated p53 response element revealed that rHAUSP contributed to p53 stabilization, and a rHAUSP (C224S) mutant contributed to p53 destabilization in a dose-dependent manner.
