In this review, we discuss the recent identification of ARF-BP1 (also known as Mule, UREB1, E3histone, LASU1, and HectH9). ARF-BP1, a HECT domain-containing E3 ubiquitin ligase, interacts with ARF and p53. Its ubiquitin ligase activity is inhibited by ARF. Inactivation of ARF-BP1 stabilised p53 and induced apoptosis. Notably, inactivation of ARF-BP1 also caused cell growth repression in p53-null cells and breast cancer cells with mutant p53. Thus, ARF-BP1 emerges as a novel therapeutic target against cancer regardless of p53 status.
