MDMX is a homolog of MDM2 that is critical for regulating p53 function during mouse development. MDMX degradation is regulated by MDM2-mediated ubiquitination. Whether there are other mechanisms of MDMX regulation is largely unknown. We found that MDMX binds to the casein kinase 1 alpha isoform (CK1{alpha}) and is phosphorylated by CK1{alpha}. Expression of CK1{alpha} stimulates the ability of MDMX to bind to p53 and inhibit p53 transcriptional function. Regulation of MDMX-p53 interaction requires CK1{alpha} binding to the central region of MDMX and phosphorylation of MDMX on serine 289. Inhibition of CK1{alpha} expression by isoform-specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) activates p53 and further enhances p53 activity after ionizing irradiation. CK1{alpha} siRNA also cooperates with DNA damage to induce apoptosis. These results suggest that CK1{alpha} is a functionally relevant MDMX-binding protein and plays an important role in regulating p53 activity in the absence or presence of stress.
