Abstract: Abstract Expression of multiple oncogenes and inactivation of tumour suppressors is required to transform primary mammalian cells into cancer cells1,2,3. Activated Ha-RasV12 (Ras) is usually associated with cancer, but it also produces paradoxical premature senescence4 in primary cells by inducing reactive oxygen species5 followed by accumulation of tumour suppressors p53 and p16INK4a (ref. 4). Here we identify, using a direct genetic screen, Seladin-1 (also known as Dhcr24) as a key mediator of Ras-induced senescence. Following oncogenic and oxidative stress, Seladin-1 binds p53 amino terminus and displaces E3 ubiquitin ligase Mdm2 from p53, thus resulting in p53 accumulation. Additionally, Seladin-1 associates with Mdm2 independently of p53, potentially affecting other Mdm2 targets. Ablation of Seladin-1 causes the bypass of Ras-induced senescence in rodent and human fibroblasts, and allows Ras to transform these cells. Wild-type Seladin-1, but not mutants that disrupt its association with either p53 or Mdm2, suppresses the transformed phenotype. The same mutants are also inactive in directing p53-dependent oxidative stress response. These results show an unanticipated role for Seladin-1, previously implicated in Alzheimer's disease6 and cholesterol metabolism7, in integrating cellular response to oncogenic and oxidative stress.
