ABSTRACT
HIPK2 activates the apoptotic arm of the DNA damage response by phosphorylating
tumor suppressor p53 at serine 46. Unstressed cells keep HIPK2 levels low through targeted
polyubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation. Here we identify the LIM
domain protein Zyxin as a novel regulator of the HIPK2-p53 signaling axis in response to
DNA damage. Remarkably, depletion of endogenous Zyxin, which colocalizes with HIPK2 at
the cytoskeleton and in the cell nucleus, stimulates proteasome-dependent HIPK2
degradation. In contrast, ectopic expression of Zyxin stabilizes HIPK2, even upon enforced
expression of its ubiquitin ligase Siah-1. Consistently, Zyxin physically interacts with Siah-1,
and knock-down of Siah-1 rescues HIPK2 expression in Zyxin-depleted cancer cells.
Mechanistically, our data suggest that Zyxin regulates Siah-1 activity through interference
with Siah-1 dimerization. Furthermore, we show that endogenous Zyxin coaccumulates with
HIPK2 in response to DNA damage in cancer cells, and that depletion of endogenous Zyxin
results in reduced HIPK2 protein levels and compromises DNA damage-induced p53 Ser46
phosphorylation and caspase activation. These findings suggest an unforeseen role for Zyxin
in DNA damage-induced cell fate control through modulating the HIPK2-p53 signaling axis.
INTRODUCTION
The cellular DNA damage response (DDR) network constitutes an important anti-
tumor barrier which is inactivated during carcinogenesis (1). The DDR is a powerful cellular
response counteracting genomic instability through induction of cell cycle arrest and DNA
repair or cellular senescence and apoptosis (2, 3).
Homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) is a critical regulator of cell fate
decisions during development and in response to genomic damage (3-5). In unstressed cells
HIPK2 levels are kept low through proteasome-dependent degradation which is facilitated by

the ubiquitin ligases Siah-1 and WSB1 (4, 6-8). In response to DNA damage, HIPK2 is
stabilized and activated through the ATM/ATR pathway, which involves disruption of the
HIPK2-Siah-1 complex through ATM-mediated phosphorylation of Siah-1 (6, 9). If the
genome is severely damaged upon UV exposure, ionizing radiation or chemotherapeutic drug
treatment, HIPK2 forms a complex with the tumor suppressor p53 and phosphorylates p53 at
Ser46 and thereby stimulates expression of proapoptotic target genes (9-12). In response to
UV damage, HIPK2 is corecruited by the promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) along with
p53 to PML nuclear bodies (10, 11, 13), which are nuclear multiprotein domains playing a
critical role in the regulation of p53 activity and p53-mediated cell fate upon DNA damage
(14-17).
The LIM (Lin-11, Isl-1 and Mec3) domain protein Zyxin localizes to focal adhesion
sites and the actin cytoskeleton where it interacts with a number of cytoskeletal proteins and
signaling components, thereby regulating actin cytoskeleton dynamics and cell motility and
migration (18-20). Blockage of Crm1-dependent nuclear export with leptomycin B (LMB)
leads to nuclear accumulation of Zyxin (21, 22). Consistent with these findings, Zyxin was
found to shuttle between the cytoplasm and the cell nucleus and to play a role in
mechanotransduction and atrial natriuretic peptide signalling. Interestingly, Zyxin has also
been implicated in cell death regulation (19, 23-26), but its role in apoptosis regulation is
controversial.
Intriguingly, both HIPK2 and Zyxin have been reported to exert tumor suppressive
functions: HIPK2 expression is reduced in breast and thyroid carcinoma (27, 28), it is
inactivated through mislocalization by the proto-oncogene HMGA1 (28) and is functionally
compromised by mutation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome
(29). Moreover, there is evidence that in mice, HIPK2 acts as haplo-insufficient tumor
suppressor in the skin (30). For Zyxin, reduced expression has been associated with bladder
cancer progression (31), and Zyxin was shown to act as a tumor suppressor in Ewing sarcoma

(32) and in prostate cancer cells (33). Although these findings indicate a tumor suppressive
activity of Zyxin, the signaling routes and molecular mechanisms linking Zyxin to tumor
suppression remain largely unclear.
In this study, we have identified Zyxin as a critical regulator for the p53 Ser46 kinase
HIPK2, which induces apoptosis in response to DNA damage. We demonstrate that Zyxin
expression is important to maintain HIPK2 protein stability, since Zyxin depletion results in
proteasome-dependent HIPK2 degradation. HIPK2 expression in Zyxin-depleted cells is
rescued by proteasome inhibition or by codepletion of the ubiquitin ligase Siah-1.
Furthermore, ectopically expressed Zyxin stabilizes HIPK2 and efficiently protects HIPK2
from Siah-1-mediated degradation, presumably by interfering with Siah-1 homodimerization.
Depletion of endogenous Zyxin in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells inhibits DNA
damage-induced p53 Ser46 phosphorylation and caspase-dependent PARP cleavage, a
hallmark of apoptotic cell death. These results suggest Zyxin as a critical regulator of DNA
damage-induced cell death induction through regulation of the HIPK2-p53 signaling axis, and
thereby propose a potential molecular basis for the tumor suppressive activity of Zyxin.

DNA damage induction. For UV irradiation, cell culture medium was removed and cells
were exposed to the indicated UV-C dosages using a Stratalinker 1800 (Stratagene). After
addition of fresh medium, cells were allowed to recover for the indicated time periods. For
Adriamycin treatments, the cells were incubated with fresh culture medium supplemented
with 1µg/ml Adriamycin for the indicated time periods.
Immunofluorescence microscopy. Cells were washed in PBS. For endogenous protein
stainings, preextraction was performed by 30 min incubation in CSK buffer (100mM NaCl,
300 mM sucrose, 3 mM MgCl2 and 10 mM PIPES pH6.8), 2 min incubation in CSK/0.5%
Triton-X-100 and a brief wash in CSK buffer. Cells were fixed with PBS/4%

performed as published previously (44). The following primary antibodies were used: mouse
anti Flag (M2, Sigma), rabbit anti HIPK2 (10), goat anti Zyxin (N-19, Santa Cruz), mouse
anti c-Myc 9E10 (Santa Cruz), rat anti HA (3F10, Roche). The secondary antibodies we used
were Alexa-488-coupled goat anti mouse, Alexa-488-coupled goat anti rabbit, Alexa-568-
coupled donkey anti goat, Alexa-594-coupled donkey anti rat and Alexa-594-coupled goat
anti rabbit (Molecular Probes). Cells were examined using a confocal laser scanning
microscope (FluoView1000, Olympus) with a 60x oil objective using the sequential scanning
mode. All images were collected and processed using the FluoView Software (Olympus) and
sized in Adobe Photoshop 7.0.
RNA interference. For RNA interference the following targeting sequence was inserted into
the pSUPER vector to knock-down human Zyxin: 5`- GAAGGTGAGCAGTATTGAT -3`, or
the following dsRNAs synthesised by Dharmacon were used: 5´-
GTGTTACAAGTGTGAGGAC-3´ or 5´-GCCCAAAGTGAATCCCTT-3´. The following
target sequences were also used: HIPK2 5'-CAC CTA CGA GGT CTT AGA G-3'` and Siah-1
5´-GATAGGAACACGCAAGCAA-3´. For the control experiments the following sequence
targeting GL2 firefly luciferase 5´-CGTACGCGGAATACTTCGA-3´ was used (44) either as
dsRNA oligo or in pSUPER. All siRNA sequences were verified to confirm their specificity
to the respective target mRNA. Stable knock-downs were done by calcium phosphate
precipitation of pSUPER-shGL2 and pSUPER-shZyxin along with pWZL-neo into HepG2
cells and subsequent selection of G418-resistant cell pools.
Immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting. For coimmunoprecipitation experiments, cells
were lysed in buffer containing 150 mM NaCl, 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 5 mM EDTA, 0.5 %
NP-40 and protease inhibitors (Complete w/o EDTA, Roche, Mg132, Biomol, and PMSF,
Applichem) or 250 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 5 mM EDTA, 1% NP-40, 25 mM

NaF, 10% Glycerol and protease inhibitors. For the HIPK2- Zyxin coimmunoprecipitation,
cells were lysed in buffer containing 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 10% Glycerol,
1% Triton-X-100, 1,5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, and protease inhibitors. Mouse Flag (M2),
mouse Myc or mouse HA antibodies were used with protein-A/G-coupled sepharose beads
(Santa Cruz). After incubation at 4°C on a rotating wheel the beads were washed 3 times in
NP-40 buffer (150 mM NaCl, 50 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 5 mM EDTA, 0.5 %, NP40). For total
cell lysates, cells were either lysed in buffer containing 20 mM Tris/HCl pH7.4, 1% NP-40,
150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 10% Glycerol, 25 mM NaF and 1% SDS and DNA was sheared
by sonication, or cells were lysed in the same buffer containing only 0.1% SDS without
sonication. Immunoblotting was done as decribed (10). Quantifications were done using the
ImageJ software.
GST protein purification, in vitro translations and GST pulldowns. GST proteins were
purified from BL21 by standard protocols. For Siah and LIM constructs, bacteria were
incubated in the presence of 0.5 mM Zinc. HIPK2 and Zyxin were in vitro translated using the
TNT coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System (Promega). Pulldowns were incubated for 4 – 6 h
on a rotating wheel at 4°C in in-vitro interaction buffer (0.05% NP-40, 1mM Na3VO4 and 1
mM PMSF in PBS), washed 3 x 10 min in the same buffer, denatured, resolved by SDS page
and gels were subsequently Coomassie-stained and dried and the radioactive signal was
detected either by film or by phosphoimager.
RESULTS
Zyxin interacts with HIPK2
Using the N-terminal part of HIPK2 (encoding amino acids 1-565) as bait in a yeast
two-hybrid screen (34) against a fetal human brain cDNA library, we identified two identical
cDNA clones encoding the C-terminal region of Zyxin harbouring its LIM domains (Fig. 1

A). This interaction was confirmed in vitro and further mapped to LIM domains 1 and 2 of
Zyxin and the N-terminal 188 amino acids of HIPK2 (Fig. 1 B-C). The interaction between
Zyxin and HIPK2 could also be detected in intact cells by coimmunoprecipitation
experiments (Fig.1D), which suggests that HIPK2 and Zyxin interact in vivo. These data
indicate interaction of HIPK2 and Zyxin in vitro and in vivo (a schematic view is shown in
Fig. 1E). We failed to demonstrate interaction of endogenous HIPK2 and Zyxin proteins,
which is likely due to complex formation of both factors at particular multiprotein domains,
such as cytoskeletal structures and nuclear bodies (Fig. 1E), which are very hard to solubilize
under conditions which preserve protein-protein interactions. In fact, immunofluorescence
stainings of endogenous HIPK2 and endogenous Zyxin showed colocalization of both factors
at cell edges (most likely representing focal contacts) and in a subset of HIPK2-containing
nuclear bodies.
Zyxin regulates HIPK2 protein levels
Therefore, we proceeded to analyze the functional interaction between HIPK2 and
Zyxin. Intriguingly, acute knock-down of endogenous Zyxin in various cancer cell lines
strongly reduced HIPK2 steady-state protein levels in unstressed cells, whereas HIPK2
mRNA levels remained unchanged (Fig.2 A-B). Stable Zyxin knockdown with a pSuper
construct containing an independent Zyxin target sequence also showed striking reduction of
the HIPK2 levels (Fig. 2 C). Using a gain of function approach, we found that ectopic
expression of Myc-tagged Zyxin leads to HIPK2 accumulation in a dose-dependent manner.
Interestingly, a Zyxin protein that was predominantly targeted to the nucleus by addition of
the SV40 NLS and point mutation of the internal NES sequence (Nuc-Zyxin) was even
slightly more efficient in stabilizing ectopically expressed HIPK2 than the wild type form of
Zyxin (Fig. 2 D-E), hinting at a role for nuclear Zyxin in this process. Taken together, these
results indicate that Zyxin regulates HIPK2 stability.

Zyxin inhibits HIPK2 degradation in a Siah-1-dependent fashion
We and others have recently shown that HIPK2 steady-state levels are largely
controlled by regulated proteasomal degradation (6-9). Therefore, we examined whether
reduced HIPK2 protein levels in Zyxin-depleted cells originate from enhanced HIPK2 protein
destabilization. Effective proteasome inhibition (as evident by accumulation of the
proteasome target p53) with the proteasome inhibitor MG-132 fully rescued HIPK2
expression (Fig. 3A), indicating that Zyxin depletion indeed results in increased HIPK2
degradation.
One important mediator of HIPK2 break-down is the E3 ubiquitin ligase Siah-1 (6, 8,
35). Since Zyxin depletion results in proteasome-dependent HIPK2 degradation, we
investigated if Zyxin protects HIPK2 from degradation by antagonizing Siah-1 function. As
expected, Siah-1 expression resulted in efficient HIPK2 degradation (Fig. 3B). Remarkably,
coexpression of Zyxin rescued HIPK2 levels even in presence of its ubiquitin ligase (Fig. 3B).
These findings indicate that Zyxin expression protects HIPK2 from Siah-1-mediated
degradation.
Next we investigated whether knock-down of Zyxin may lead to Siah-1-dependent
HIPK2 degradation. To this end, we knocked down Siah-1 by RNAi in shZyxin cells.
Strikingly, knockdown of Siah-1 specifically rescued endogenous HIPK2 expression in
shZyxin cells (Fig. 3C). Taken together, these findings suggest that depletion of Zyxin results
in Siah-1-dependent HIPK2 degradation.
Zyxin colocalizes and physically interacts with Siah-1
Because of the functional interaction of Zyxin with Siah-1, we next asked whether
both molecules physically interact. To this end, we performed coimmunoprecipitation
analyses from cell lysates expressing Myc-Zyxin and HA-Siah-1. Interestingly, ligase-

deficient Siah-1 (Siah-1C44S) was readily coimmunoprecipitated with Zyxin, in contrast to
wildtype Siah-1 (Fig. 4A). Nuc-Zyxin showed a slightly increased binding to Siah-1 in
comparison to the wildtype form (Fig. 4B). Similar results were obtained by reciprocal
immunoprecipitation analyses (Fig. 4C). Consistent with these findings, indirect
immunofluorescence staining and confocal microscopy revealed that ligase-deficient Siah-1
as well as wildtype Siah-1 readily colocalized with Nuc-Zyxin (Fig. 4E,F). Siah-1C44S and
wildtype Siah-1 showed a comparable subcellular distribution (Fig. 4D). Furthermore, also
wildtyp Zyxin and wildtype Siah-1 colocalized in the cytoplasm (Fig. 4G), however, to a
lesser extent than wildtype Zyxin and Nuc-Siah-1 (Fig. 4H). Thus, these findings suggest that
Siah-1 and Zyxin form a protein complex, which may occur preferentially in the cell nucleus.
To examine whether Zyxin and Siah-1 may interact directly, we performed GST
pulldown assays. In vitro translated 35S-labelled Zyxin was efficiently pulled down by GST-
Siah1 (Figure 4I), suggesting that the interaction between both proteins is indeed direct.
Further mapping experiments indicated that the RING domain of Siah-1 (AAs 1-80) mediates
the interaction with Zyxin (Fig. 4J). Taken together, these results indicate that Zyxin
physically interacts with Siah-1.
Zyxin interferes with Siah-1 homodimerization
Since Siah-1 forms dimers via its substrate binding domain (36, 37), we next assessed
whether Zyxin regulates Siah-1 homodimerization. To this end we coexpressed wild type,
ligase-proficient HA-Siah-1 and Flag-Siah-1 proteins in presence or absence of Myc- (Nuc-)
Zyxin and investigated Siah-1 homodimerization by coimmunoprecipitation analyses. In the
absence of Zyxin, HA-Siah-1 efficiently coprecipitated with Flag-Siah-1 (Fig. 5A). In
contrast, in presence of Zyxin the homodimerization of Siah-1 was significantly reduced (Fig.
5A), and again, Nuc-Zyxin showed a slightly stronger effect. A comparable interfering effect
of Zyxin on Siah-1C44S homodimer formation was observed (Fig. 5B). Taken together, these

data suggest that Zyxin may modulate HIPK2 stability through interference with the assembly
of functional active Siah-1 dimers.
Zyxin accumulates upon DNA damage induced by UV and Adriamycin treatment
To get insight into the functional role of endogenously expressed Zyxin in the DNA
damage response, we examined Zyxin protein levels in response to DNA damage in human
HepG2 hepatoma cells. Interestingly, lethal UV damage (70 J/m2) (6) resulted in clear Zyxin
accumulation (Fig. 6A). In addition, Zyxin accumulation correlated with HIPK2 stabilization
and p53 Ser46 phosphorylation (Fig. 6A). Sublethal UV damage (20 J/m2) (6), however,
resulted in weak and transient Zyxin accumulation (Fig. 6A). Furthermore, also cells treated
with a lethal dose of the DNA-damaging chemotherapeutic drug Adriamycin showed elevated
Zyxin levels (Fig. 6B), indicating that Zyxin accumulates in response to severe DNA damage,
and that Zyxin accumulation correlates with HIPK2 stabilization and p53 Ser46
phosphorylation.
We also addressed the subcellular localization of endogenous Zyxin in U2OS and
HepG2 cells before and after UV treatment using indirect immunofluorescence staining and
confocal microscopy. Zyxin predominantly resided in the cytoplasm in unstressed cells. Most
cells only showed weak nuclear staining of Zyxin, and no significant changes in the
subcellular distribution of Zyxin were detectable after DNA damage (data not shown).
Zyxin depletion inhibits DNA damage-induced p53 Ser46 phosphorylation and apoptotic
caspase activation
To examine the functional relevance of Zyxin in DNA damage-induced HIPK2
stabilization and p53 Ser46 phosphorylation, we used HepG2 cells stably depleted for Zyxin
(shZyxin) and control cells (shGL2). Cells were exposed to UV light, a well established
HIPK2-activating stimulus (10, 11), and subsequently analysed by immunoblotting. In

accordance with published data (6, 8), HIPK2 was stabilized upon UV and a robust p53 Ser46
phosphorylation was evident in the shGL2 control cell pool (Fig. 6D). In contrast, Zyxin-
depleted cells showed a clear reduction in UV-induced HIPK2 stabilization and p53 Ser46
phosphorylation (Fig. 6D). Zyxin-depleted cells showed no signs of caspase activation upon
UV damage, whereas the control cell pool showed characteristic caspase-dependent cleavage
of the caspase substrate protein PARP (Fig. 6D). Taken together, these findings demonstrate a
role of Zyxin in the regulation of DNA damage-induced p53 Ser46 phosphorylation and
apoptotic caspase activation.
DISCUSSION
The Ser/Thr protein kinase HIPK2 is an emerging regulator of cell fate decisions in
development, morphogenesis and genotoxic stress (3-5). In order to activate the cell death
response upon chromosomal damage, HIPK2 stimulates various downstream signaling
pathways most prominently the tumor suppressor p53. HIPK2-mediated phosphorylation of
p53 at Ser46 potentiates the activation of proapoptotic p53 target genes, which finally leads to
cell death (10, 11). Activation of HIPK2 in response to genotoxic stress is facilitated through
the checkpoint kinases ATM and ATR which phosphorylation-dependently inhibit HIPK2
proteolysis by the ubiquitin ligase Siah-1 through site-specific phosphorylation of Siah-1 (6).
Our findings here demonstrate that the LIM domain protein and focal adhesion
component Zyxin is essential for HIPK2 stabilization, p53 Ser46 phosphorylation and
caspase-activation in response to DNA damage. In addition, our data indicate that Zyxin is
also essential to maintain the low level steady-state HIPK2 protein expression in unstressed
cells, which suggests that HIPK2 may fulfil important, but so far only little investigated
functions in cells in the absence of genotoxic stress. However, the functional relevance of
HIPK2-Zyxin interaction in unstressed cells and DNA-damaged cells remain to be clarified
and may pave the way to uncover novel cellular functions of HIPK2 and Zyxin. Moreover,

potential functional interplay between HIPK2 and Zyxin in response to DNA damage remains
to be elucidated in the future.
Previous reports have linked Zyxin to apoptosis regulation and indicate both pro- and
anti-apoptotic activities of Zyxin, suggesting tissue and cell type specific as well as stimulus-
dependent functions of Zyxin (23, 25, 26). For example, Zyxin has been shown to exert
oncogenic activities by facilitating cell migration in melanoma cells (38, 39), but it can also
act as a tumor suppressor in Ewing carcinoma and prostate cancer cells (32, 33). Similar
oncogenic versus tumor suppressive activities have been attributed to the ubiquitin ligase
Siah-1 (40, 41). Since our results here demonstrate that Zyxin and Siah-1 interact and,
furthermore, that Zyxin modulates Siah-1 dimerization and thereby presumably its activity, it
is tempting to speculate that increased Zyxin levels - such as in case of DNA damage -
contribute to uncoupling the ubiquitin ligase Siah-1 from its substrates. As Zyxin potently
regulates HIPK2 stability in a Siah-1-dependent fashion, we propose that Zyxin may control
HIPK2 stability through regulation of Siah-1 availability. The resulting stabilization of the
Siah-1 target protein HIPK2 then alters the fate of the cells subjected to DNA damage by
activating the apoptotic program.
Remarkably, in intact cells exclusively the ligase-deficient Siah-1 point mutant but not
the ligase-proficient wildtype form of Siah-1 could readily be shown to interact with Zyxin.
This may suggest that the ligase activity of Siah-1 interferes with Zyxin binding, possibly
through interaction with the E2 enzyme or Siah-1 autoubiquitination. Nontheless, the
inhibiting effect of Zyxin on the dimerization of the wild type Siah-1 proteins is quite
pronounced, arguing that a weak and transient interaction between both factors may occur.
This interpretation is further supported by our finding that wildtype Siah1-1 and Zyxin show
partial colocalization. Although our data clearly indicate that Zyxin regulates HIPK2 stability
through interference with Siah-1 function, it remains to be determined whether direct binding

of Zyxin to Siah-1 and/or HIPK2 is required for the observed protection of HIPK2 from Siah-
1-mediated breakdown.
Taken together, our findings here indicate a novel function for Zyxin in the regulation
of the p53 response and cell fate decision in response to DNA damage. Based on our
observations, it appears conceivable to speculate that downregulation of Zyxin, such as
described in a subset of human breast cancers (42), might influence the responsiveness to
DNA-damaging cancer treatments such as radio- and chemotherapy.
