The ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) and autophagy provide major cellular pathways for protein degradation. Since the p53 pathway controls autophagy, we investigated whether p53 regulates UPS in ovarian tumour cell lines. A reporter cell line (SKOV3-EGFPu) was established to measure UPS function against a constant genetic background. Transient expression of either wild type or mutant p53 in SKOV3-EGFPu cells reduced UPS activity as compared to vector control. These results, together with those from...
