What is p57?
Alias: CDKN1C
 316 Amino Acids long
 Localized in the Nucleus
 Important during development
 Localized to Chromosome 11p15.5

Matsuoka et al.
What type of protein is p57?
CDK-inhibitor
 p21 Family


Duronio, B.

p57 Function


Negative regulator
of cell cycle
Tumor Suppressor!

p57 Function
Also involved in
differentiation
 Can act as a
transcription factor
 MyoD keeps
myocyte a myocyte

Besson, A. et al.
p57 Function Summary
Tumor Suppressor
Over expression = G1 arrest
Can bind to Proliferating Cell Nuclear
Antigen (PCNA), a DNA polymerase Sigma
processivity factor, via its C terminus (aa
143–160), thereby blocking processive
DNA synthesis
 Differentiation
 Also involved in cytoskeletal dynamics and
apoptosis, but involvement remains
unclear.

How does p57 cause BWS?
Imprinting: complex genetics
 “A process that causes genes to be
expressed according to their parental
origin,”
 Affects ~1000 human genes

 The ones important for development

p57 is an imprinted gene.
How does imprinting work?
Methylation
 Histone Acetylation (chromatin modeling)


Imprinting and BWS
Normally Maternal p57 is expressed
 Methylation is the main control
 Methylation is green light

 Uses methyl binding transcription factors
LOI
LOI can occur via
LOH
 LOM
 Or even a bad gene
