Abstract Text | Pharmacological modulation of p53 activity is an attractive therapeutic strategy in cancers with wild-type p53. Presently in clinical trials, the small molecule Nutlin-3A competitively binds to HDM2, a key negative regulator of p53 and blocks its activity. We have described resistance mutations in HDM2 that selectively reduce affinity for Nutlin but not p53. In the present communication, we show that stapled peptides targeting the same region of HDM2 as Nutlin are refractory to these mutations, and display reduced discrimination between the wild-type and mutant HDM2s with regards to functional abrogation of interaction with p53. The larger interaction footprint afforded by stapled peptides suggests that this class of ligands may prove comparatively more resilient to acquired resistance in a clinical setting. |

MDM2 | M62A | missense | unknown | MDM2 M62A lies within the TP53-binding domain of the Mdm2 protein (PMID: 14707282). M62A has been shown to confer MDM2 inhibitor resistance in cell culture (PMID: 23653682, PMID: 25115702, PMID: 24278380), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Mdm2 protein function is unknown (PubMed, Nov 2023). | Y |
MDM2 | P20L | missense | unknown | MDM2 P20L lies within the TP53-binding domain of the Mdm2 protein (PMID: 14707282). P20L has been shown to confer moderate MDM2 inhibitor resistance in cell culture (PMID: 23653682, PMID: 24278380), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Mdm2 protein function is unknown (PubMed, Nov 2023). | Y |
MDM2 | Q24R | missense | unknown | MDM2 Q24R lies within the TP53-binding domain of the Mdm2 protein (PMID: 14707282). Q24R has been shown to confer MDM2 inhibitor resistance in culture (PMID: 23653682, PMID: 24278380), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Mdm2 protein function is unknown (PubMed, Nov 2023). | Y |
