AbstractCyclin-dependent-kinases (CDKs) are essential for cell cycle progression. While dependence of CDK activity on Cyclin levels is established, molecular mechanisms that regulate their binding are less studied. Here, we show that CDKl:Cyclin-B interactions are regulated by acetylation, which was hitherto unknown. We demonstrate that cell cycle dependent acetylation of the evolutionarily conserved catalytic lysine in CDK1 or eliminating its charge state abrogates Cyclin-B binding. Opposing activities of SIRT1 and P300 regulate acetylation, which marks a reserved pool of CDK1. Our high resolution structural analyses into the formation of kinase competent CDK1: Cyclin-B complex have unveiled long-range effects of catalytic lysine in configuring the CDK1 interface for Cyclin-B binding. Cells expressing acetylation mimic mutant of Cdc2 in yeast are arrested in G2 and fail to divide. Thus, by illustrating cell cycle dependent deacetylation as a determinant of CDK1:Cyclin-B interaction, our results redefine the current model of CDK1 activation and cell cycle progression.

Abstract Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a malignant stem cell disease characterized by an expansion of myeloid progenitor cells expressing the constitutively activated Bcr-Abl kinase. This oncogenic event causes a deregulation of apoptosis and cell cycle progression. Although the molecular mechanisms protecting from apoptosis in CML cells are well characterized, the cell cycle regulatory event is poorly understood. An inhibitor of the cyclin-dependent kinases, p27, plays a central role in the regulation of growth factor dependent proliferation of hematopoietic cells. Therefore, we have analyzed the influence of Bcr-Abl in the regulation of p27 expression in various hematopoietic cell systems. An active Bcr-Abl kinase causes down-regulation of p27 expression in murine Ba/F3 cells and human M07 cells. Bcr-Abl blocks up-regulation of p27 after growth factor withdrawal and serum reduction. In addition, p27 induction by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) is completely blocked in Bcr-Abl positive M07/p210 cells. This deregulation is directly mediated by the activity of the Bcr-Abl kinase. A Bcr-Abl kinase inhibitor completely abolishes p27 down-regulation by Bcr-Abl in both Ba/F3 cells transfected either with a constitutively active Bcr-Abl or with a temperature sensitive mutant. The down-regulation of p27 by Bcr-Abl depends on proteasomal degradation and can be blocked by lactacystin. Overexpression of wild-type p27 partially antagonizes Bcr-Abl–induced proliferation in Ba/F3 cells. We conclude that Bcr-Abl promotes cell cycle progression and activation of cyclin-dependent kinases by interfering with the regulation of the cell cycle inhibitory protein p27.

AbstractColorectal cancer is the second common cause of death worldwide. Lamin B2 (LMNB2) is involved in chromatin remodeling and the rupture and reorganization of nuclear membrane during mitosis, which is necessary for eukaryotic cell proliferation. However, the role of LMNB2 in colorectal cancer (CRC) is poorly understood. This study explored the biological functions of LMNB2 in the progression of colorectal cancer and explored the possible molecular mechanisms. We found that LMNB2 was significantly upregulated in primary colorectal cancer tissues and cell lines, compared with paired non-cancerous tissues and normal colorectal epithelium. The high expression of LMNB2 in colorectal cancer tissues is significantly related to the clinicopathological characteristics of the patients and the shorter overall and disease-free cumulative survival. Functional analysis, including CCK8 cell proliferation test, EdU proliferation test, colony formation analysis, nude mouse xenograft, cell cycle, and apoptosis analysis showed that LMNB2 significantly promotes cell proliferation by promoting cell cycle progression in vivo and in vitro. In addition, gene set enrichment analysis, luciferase report analysis, and CHIP analysis showed that LMNB2 promotes cell proliferation by regulating the p21 promoter, whereas LMNB2 has no effect on cell apoptosis. In summary, these findings not only indicate that LMNB2 promotes the proliferation of colorectal cancer by regulating p21-mediated cell cycle progression, but also suggest the potential value of LMNB2 as a clinical prognostic marker and molecular therapy target.

Because exogenous ATP is suspected to influence the proliferative process, its effects on the cell cycle progression of arterial smooth muscle cells were studied by investigating changes in the mRNA steady-state level of cell cycle-dependent genes. Stimulation of cultured quiescent smooth muscle cells by exogenous ATP induced chronological activation not only of immediate-early but also of delayed-early cell cycle-dependent genes, which were usually expressed after a mitogenic stimulation. In contrast, ATP did not increase late G1 gene mRNA level, demonstrating that this nucleotide induces a limited cell cycle progression of arterial smooth muscle cells through the G1 phase but is not able by itself to induce crossing over the G1-S boundary and consequently DNA synthesis. An increase in c-fos mRNA level was also induced by ADP but not by AMP or adenosine. Moreover, 2-methylthioadenosine 5'-triphosphate but not alpha, beta-methyleneadenosine 5'-triphosphate mediated this kind of response. Taken together, these results demonstrate that extracellular ATP induces the limited progression of arterial smooth muscle cells through the G1 phase via its fixation on P2 gamma receptors.

Size Uniformity

AbstractAnimal cells within a tissue typically display a striking regularity in their size. To date, the molecular mechanisms that control this uniformity are still unknown. We have previously shown that size uniformity in animal cells is promoted, in part, by size-dependent regulation of G1 length. To identify the molecular mechanisms underlying this process, we performed a large-scale small molecule screen and found that the p38 MAPK pathway is involved in coordinating cell size and cell cycle progression. Small cells display higher p38 activity and spend more time in G1 than larger cells. Inhibition of p38 MAPK leads to loss of the compensatory G1 length extension in small cells, resulting in faster proliferation, smaller cell size and increased size heterogeneity. We propose a model wherein the p38 pathway responds to changes in cell size and regulates G1 exit accordingly, to increase cell size uniformity.One-sentence summaryThe p38 MAP kinase pathway coordinates cell growth and cell cycle progression by lengthening G1 in small cells, allowing them more time to grow before their next division.

Introduction: The molecular mechanisms of cerebral ischemia damage and protection are not completely understood, but a number of reports implicate the contribution of lipid metabolism and cell-cycle regulating proteins in stroke out come. We have previously shown that tricyclodecan-9-yl-xanthogenate (D609) resulted in increased ceramide levels after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) in spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). We hypothesized that D609 induced cell cycle arrest probably by inhibiting sphingomyelin synthase (SMS). In this study, we examined the direct effects of SMS on cell cycle progression and proliferation of neuroblast cells. Methods: Ischemia was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and reperfusion. Expression levels were measured by western blot analysis, RT-PCR, and Immunofluorescence staining. SMS1 and 2 expressions were silenced by stable transfection with SMS1/2-targeted shRNA. Cell cycle analysis was performed using Flow cytometry. Data were analyzed using MODFIT cell cycle analysis program. Cell proliferation rate was measured by MTT assay. Results: We have identified that the expression of SMS1is significantly up-regulated in the ischemic hemisphere following MCAO. Neuro-2a cells transfected with SMS specific ShRNA acquired more neuronal like phenotype and exhibited decreased proliferation rate. Also, silencing of both SMS1 and 2 induced cell-cycle arrest as shown by significantly increased percentage of cells in G0/G1 and decreased proportion of cells in S-phase as compared to control cells. This was accompanied by up-regulation of cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) inhibitors p21 and decreased levels of phophorylated AKT levels. Furthermore, loss of SMS inhibited the migratory potential of Neuro 2a cells. Summary: Up-regulation of SMS under ischemic/reperfusion conditions suggests that this enzyme potentially contributes to cell cycle regulation and may contribute to maintaining neuronal cell population. Further studies may open up a new direction for identifying the molecular mechanisms of cell cycle regulation and protection following ischemic stroke

Checkpoint Genes

Cell cycle progression is mediated by waves of specific cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs) in all eukaryotes. Cyclins are degraded by the ubiquitin pathway of proteolysis. The recent identification of several components of the cyclin proteolysis machinery has highlighted both the importance of proteolysis at multiple transition points in the cell cycle and the involvement of other substrates degraded by the same machinery. In this study, we have investigated the effects of DNA damage on the cyclin proteolytic machinery in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We find that the half-life of the B-type cyclin Clb5 is markedly increased following DNA damage while that of G1 cyclins is not. This effect is independent of cell cycle phase. Clb5 turnover requires p34CDC28 activity. Stabilisation of Clb5 correlates with an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of p34CDC28, but stabilisation does not require this tyrosine phosphorylation. The stabilisation is independent of the checkpoint genes Mec1 and Rad53. These observations establish a new link between the regulation of proteolysis and DNA damage.

Normal Cell Cycle

The decision to enter mitosis is mediated by a network of proteins that regulate activation of the cyclin B–Cdk1 complex. Within this network, several positive feedback loops can amplify cyclin B–Cdk1 activation to ensure complete commitment to a mitotic state once the decision to enter mitosis has been made. However, evidence is accumulating that several components of the feedback loops are redundant for cyclin B–Cdk1 activation during normal cell division. Nonetheless, defined feedback loops become essential to promote mitotic entry when normal cell cycle progression is perturbed. Recent data has demonstrated that at least three Plk1-dependent feedback loops exist that enhance cyclin B–Cdk1 activation at different levels. In this review, we discuss the role of various feedback loops that regulate cyclin B–Cdk1 activation under different conditions, the timing of their activation, and the possible identity of the elusive trigger that controls mitotic entry in human cells.

Induced Mutagenesis

The PHO85 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes a cyclin-dependent kinase involved in both transcriptional regulation and cell cycle progression. Although a great deal is known concerning the structure, function, and regulation of the highly homologous Cdc28 protein kinase, little is known concerning these relationships in regard to Pho85. In this study, we constructed a series of Pho85-Cdc28 chimeras to map the region(s) of the Pho85 molecule that is critical for function of Pho85 in repression of acid phosphatase (PHO5) expression. Using a combination of site-directed and ethyl methanesulfonate-induced mutagenesis, we have identified numerous residues critical for either activation of the Pho85 kinase, interaction of Pho85 with the cyclin-like molecule Pho80, or substrate recognition. Finally, analysis of mutations analogous to those previously identified in either Cdc28 or cdc2 of Schizosaccharomyces pombe suggested that the inhibition of Pho85-Pho80 activity in mechanistically different from that seen in the other cyclin-dependent kinases.

The MuvB transcriptional regulatory complex, which controls cell-cycle-dependent gene expression, cooperates with B-Myb to activate genes required for the G2 and M phases of the cell cycle. We have identified the domain in B-Myb that is essential for the assembly of the Myb–MuvB (MMB) complex. We determined a crystal structure that reveals how this B-Myb domain binds MuvB through the adaptor protein LIN52 and the scaffold protein LIN9. The structure and biochemical analysis provide an understanding of how oncogenic B-Myb is recruited to regulate genes required for cell-cycle progression, and the MMB interface presents a potential therapeutic target to inhibit cancer cell proliferation.
