Target Background

Function
PPM1D, also known as Wip1, is a protein phosphatase that plays a crucial role in regulating cellular responses to stress. It is involved in the negative regulation of p53 expression, essential for alleviating cell cycle arrest triggered by p53-dependent checkpoints. PPM1D binds to and dephosphorylates Ser-15 of TP53 and Ser-345 of CHEK1, contributing to the functional inactivation of these proteins. It also mediates the dephosphorylation and inactivation of MAPK14. Furthermore, PPM1D acts as a vital regulator of global heterochromatin silencing, crucial in maintaining genome integrity.
Gene References Into Functions
  1. Research suggests a novel role for ATR kinase in mediating its own signal attenuation by recruiting PPM1D to chromatin. This mechanism is critical for restarting stalled replication forks, cell cycle re-entry, and cellular recovery from replication stress. PMID: 29485113
  2. NF-kappaB acts as a positive transcriptional regulator of WIP1, activating its expression and influencing its function in colorectal cancer cells. PMID: 29367109
  3. These findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms governing nucleoli formation. The study demonstrates that PPM1D regulates nucleolar formation by modulating NPM phosphorylation status through a novel signaling pathway involving PPM1D-CDC25C-CDK1-PLK1. PMID: 27619510
  4. These data support the notion that Wip1 contributes to the formation of ERMs in PDR membranes via NF-kappaB signaling. PMID: 28402943
  5. In an in vitro model of the blood-brain barrier, LPS increased Wip1 expression. Wip1 knockdown led to increased permeability, decreased transepithelial electrical resistance, reduced protein expression of ZO-1 and occluding, and enhanced TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-12, and IL-6 production. Wip1 silencing augmented Sonic hedgehog signaling, while Wip1 overexpression inhibited it. These findings suggest that Wip1 may protect the BBB against LPS damage through SHH signaling.
