MDM2 regulates p53 degradation by functioning as an E3 ubiquitin ligase. The role of MDMX, an MDM2 homolog that lacks E3 ligase activity, in the regulation of p53 degradation remains incompletely understood and sometime controversial. This confusion is due at least in part to studies of p53 degradation mainly carried out in in vitro settings, as elimination of either MDM2 or MDMX from mice results in p53-dependent embryonic lethality, thus obfuscating in vivo studies of the individual roles of MDM2 and MDMX in p53 degradation.
