Tumor suppressor p53 induces the cellular
response to DNA damage mainly by regulating expression of its
downstream target genes. The human securin is an anaphase inhibitor,
preventing premature chromosome separation through inhibition of
separase activity. It is also known as the product of the human
pituitary tumor-transforming gene, pttg, a
proto-oncogene. Here we report that the expression of human securin is
suppressed in cells treated with the DNA-damaging drugs doxorubicin and
bleomycin. This suppression requires functional p53. Analysis of the
human securin promoter reveals that DNA-binding sites for Sp1 and NF-Y
are both required for activation of securin expression; however, only
the NF-Y site is essential for the suppression by p53. Our study
indicates that securin is a p53 target gene and may play a role in
p53-mediated cellular response to DNA damage.
