"YY1 directly interacts with both p53 and Mdm2, a ubiquitin E3 ligase, and enhances Mdm2-mediated p53 ubiquitination and degradation. xref , xref YY1 depletion leads to either apoptosis or cell cycle arrest, depending on the cell types. xref , xref , xref Importantly, this regulation is independent of the transcriptional activity of YY1 because a YY1 mutant deficient in DNA binding retains the ability to stimulate p53 ubiquitination, and purified YY1 protein can promote p53 ubiquitination in vitro . xref A previous study indicated that YY1 promotes the expression of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 7C, regulating mitochondrial respiration. xref Recently, Yu et al xref demonstrated that this activation is mediated by the YY1-recruited deubiquitination enzyme BAP1 to the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 7C promoter."
