From the The INK4a locus on chromosome 9p21 encodes two
structurally distinct tumor suppressor proteins,
p16INK4a and the alternative reading frame protein, ARF
(p19ARF in mouse and p14ARF in human). Each of
these proteins has a role in senescence of primary cells and activates
pathways for cell cycle control and tumor suppression. The current
prevailing model proposes that p19ARF activates p53 function by
antagonizing its degradation by MDM2. It was, however, recently
shown that stabilization of p53 by p14ARF occurs independent of
the relocalization of MDM2 to the nucleolus. We have identified a novel
collaborator of ARF, CARF. It co-localizes and
interacts with ARF in the nucleolus. We demonstrate that CARF is
co-regulated with ARF, cooperates with it in activating p53, and thus
acts as a novel component of the ARF-p53-p21 pathway.
CARF Is a Novel Protein That Cooperates with Mouse
p19ARF (Human p14ARF) in Activating p53*
