title: Signal-induced ubiquitination of p57(Kip2) is independent of the C-terminal consensus Cdk phosphorylation site.
abstract: The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p57(Kip2) is required for normal mouse embryonic development. p57(Kip2) consists of four structurally distinct domains in which the conserved C-terminal nuclear targeting domain contains a putative Cdk phosphorylation site (Thr(342)) that shares a great similitude in the adjacent sequences with p27(Kip1) but not with p21(Cip1). Phosphorylation on Thr(187) has been shown to promote degradation of p27(Kip1). Although there is sequence homology between the C-terminal part of p27(Kip1) and p57(Kip2), we show that the ubiquitination and degradation of p57(Kip2) are independent of Thr(342). In contrast a destabilizing element located in the N-terminal is implicated in p57(Kip2) destabilization.
