The mechanisms by which Mdm2 and Mdm4 (MdmX) regulate p53 remain controversial. We generated a mouse encoding p53 lacking the proline-rich domain (p53
ΔP). p53
ΔP exhibited increased sensitivity to Mdm2-dependent degradation and decreased transactivation capacity, correlating with deficient cell cycle arrest and reduced apoptotic responses. p53
ΔP induced lethality in
Mdm2
−/−
embryos, but not in
Mdm4
−/−
embryos. Mdm4 loss did not alter Mdm2 stability but significantly increased p53
ΔP transactivation to partially restore cycle control. In contrast, decreasing Mdm2 levels increased p53
ΔP levels without altering p53
ΔP transactivation. Thus, Mdm4 regulates p53 activity, while Mdm2 mainly controls p53 stability. Furthermore, Mdm4 loss dramatically improved p53
ΔP-mediated suppression of oncogene-induced tumors, emphasizing the importance of targeting Mdm4 in chemotherapies designed to activate p53.
