Protein dataset of human immortalized HaCaT keratinocytes and p53 knockdown HaCaT keratinocytes

Taking together, HaCaT cells have similar to normal human keratinocytes (NHK) properties, however, as many of spontaneously immortalized cell lines HaCaT cells bear two mutant p53 alleles - R282Q and H179Y (Lehman et al., 1993). Mutp53 in HaCaT has an increased affinity to other p53 family members (p63, p73), which significantly expands p53 properties. Moreover, mutp53 indirectly affects specific target genes via protein-protein interactions with other transcription factors (NF-Y, E2F1, NF-KB) or by tethering p63 to new promotor locations (Martynova et al., 2012).

For more detailed investigation of mutp53 impact on various processes in HaCaT cells we performed a shRNA mediated knockdown of mutp53. For generation of stable TP53 knockdown we employed plasmid vector pLKO-p53-shRNA-941 (Addgene # #25637) followed by puromycin selection of transduced cells. Here we present proteomic dataset obtained from wild type HaCaT cells and p53 knock down HaCaT keratinocytes.
