Cyclin G2 associates with protein phosphatase 2A catalytic and regulatory B' subunits in active complexes and induces nuclear aberrations and a G1/S phase cell cycle arrest. (1/25)
Cyclin G2, together with cyclin G1 and cyclin I, defines a novel cyclin family expressed in terminally differentiated tissues including brain and muscle. Cyclin G2 expression is up-regulated as cells undergo cell cycle arrest or apoptosis in response to inhibitory stimuli independent of p53 (Horne, M., Donaldson, K., Goolsby, G., Tran, D., Mulheisen, M., Hell, J. and Wahl, A. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 12650-12661). We tested the hypothesis that cyclin G2 may be a negative regulator of cell cycle progression and found that ectopic expression of cyclin G2 induces the formation of aberrant nuclei and cell cycle arrest in HEK293 and Chinese hamster ovary cells. Cyclin G2 is primarily partitioned to a detergent-resistant compartment, suggesting an association with cytoskeletal elements. We determined that cyclin G2 and its homolog cyclin G1 directly interact with the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A). An okadaic acid-sensitive (<2 nm) phosphatase activity coprecipitates with endogenous and ectopic cyclin G2. We found that cyclin G2 also associates with various PP2A B' regulatory subunits, as previously shown for cyclin G1. The PP2A/A subunit is not detectable in cyclin G2-PP2A-B'-C complexes. Notably, cyclin G2 colocalizes with both PP2A/C and B' subunits in detergent-resistant cellular compartments, suggesting that these complexes form in living cells. The ability of cyclin G2 to inhibit cell cycle progression correlates with its ability to bind PP2A/B' and C subunits. Together, our findings suggest that cyclin G2-PP2A complexes inhibit cell cycle progression. (+info)Control of cyclin G2 mRNA expression by forkhead transcription factors: novel mechanism for cell cycle control by phosphoinositide 3-kinase and forkhead. (2/25)
Cyclin G2 is an unconventional cyclin highly expressed in postmitotic cells. Unlike classical cyclins that promote cell cycle progression, cyclin G2 blocks cell cycle entry. Here we studied the mechanisms that regulate cyclin G2 mRNA expression during the cell cycle. Analysis of synchronized NIH 3T3 cell cultures showed elevated cyclin G2 mRNA expression levels at G(0), with a considerable reduction as cells enter cell cycle. Downregulation of cyclin G2 mRNA levels requires activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase, suggesting that this enzyme controls cyclin G2 mRNA expression. Because the phosphoinositide 3-kinase pathway inhibits the FoxO family of forkhead transcription factors, we examined the involvement of these factors in the regulation of cyclin G2 expression. We show that active forms of the forkhead transcription factor FoxO3a (FKHRL1) increase cyclin G2 mRNA levels. Cyclin G2 has forkhead consensus motifs in its promoter, which are transactivated by constitutive active FoxO3a forms. Finally, interference with forkhead-mediated transcription by overexpression of an inactive form decreases cyclin G2 mRNA expression levels. These results show that FoxO genes regulate cyclin G2 expression, illustrating a new role for phosphoinositide 3-kinase and FoxO transcription factors in the control of cell cycle entry. (+info)Effect of cyclin G2 on proliferative ability of SGC-7901 cell. (3/25)
AIM: To study the effect of cyclin G2 on proliferation of gastric adenocarcinoma cell line-SGC-7901 cell in vitro. METHODS: By use of cation lipofectamine transfection reagent, the pIRES-G2 and pIRESneo plasmids were transferred into SGC-7901cell line. Anticlones were selected by G418. Positive clones were observed and counted using Giemsa staining. Cell proliferative ability was assayed by MTT. RESULTS: (1) The clone number of pIRES-G2 group decreased, clone volume reduced. The number of cell clones in pIRESneo group was 87+/-3, that of pIRES-G2 group was 53+/-4, occupying 60.1% of pIRESneo group, there was significant difference obviously (P<0.01, t=15.45). (2) The average absorbance of clone cell obtained by stable transfection of pIRES-G2 at 570 nm was 1.6966+/-0.2125, the average absorbance of clone cell obtained by stable transfection of pIRESneo at 570 nm was 2.1182+/-0.3675, there was significant difference between them (P<0.01, t=3.412). CONCLUSION: Cyclin G2 can inhibit SGC-7901cell proliferative ability obviously, it may be a negative regulator in cell cycle regulation. (+info)Cyclin G2 dysregulation in human oral cancer. (4/25)
Using expression microarray, we have previously shown that human cyclin G2 (hCG2) is significantly down-regulated in laser capture microdissected oral cancer epithelia. Western analysis showed detectable hCG2 protein in normal (2 of 2) but not in malignant (4 of 4) oral keratinocyte cell lines. Immunohistochemistry analysis done on oral cancers showed that normal oral mucosa (100%, 12 of 12) and 69.1% (47 of 68) of dysplastic oral epithelia expressed readily detectable hCG2 in the nuclei. However, only 11.1% of oral cancer epithelia (14 of 126) showed mild hCG2 nuclear staining. Interestingly, of the oral cancers devoid of nuclear hCG2 (112 cases), 58 cases (52%) showed cytoplasmic hCG2 immunostaining, whereas the other 54 cases (48%) exhibited neither nuclear nor cytoplasmic hCG2 staining. In vitro functional study by ectopic restoration of hCG2 expression in the human malignant squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) line SCC15 resulted in a significant inhibition of cellular proliferation (P < 0.001) and colony formation (P < 2 x 10(-5)) with increased population of G(1) phase and decreased in S phase (P < 0.01). Furthermore, stable down-regulation of hCG2 by short interference RNA-based gene silencing in immortalized normal oral keratinocytes resulted in enhanced cell growth with increase in S and prominently in G(2) phase. Because hCG2 has been implicated as a negative regulator in cell cycle progression, our results support that hCG2 dysregulation may play an important role in epithelial transformation and the early stages of human oral cancer development. (+info)Cellular and gene expression responses involved in the rapid growth inhibition of human cancer cells by RNA interference-mediated depletion of telomerase RNA. (5/25)
Inhibition of the up-regulated telomerase activity in cancer cells has previously been shown to slow cell growth but only after prior telomere shortening. Previously, we have reported that, unexpectedly, a hairpin short interfering RNA specifically targeting human telomerase RNA rapidly inhibits the growth of human cancer cells independently of p53 or telomere length and without bulk telomere shortening (Li, S., Rosenberg, J. E., Donjacour, A. A., Botchkina, I. L., Hom, Y. K., Cunha, G. R., and Blackburn, E. H. (2004) Cancer Res. 64, 4833-4840). Here we have demonstrated that such telomerase RNA knockdown in cancer cells does not cause telomere uncapping but rather induces changes in the global gene expression profile indicative of a novel response pathway, which includes suppression of specific genes implicated in angiogenesis and metastasis, and is distinct from the expression profile changes induced by telomere-uncapping mutant template telomerase RNAs. These cellular responses to depleting telomerase in human cancer cells together suggest that cancer cells are "telomerase-addicted" and uncover functions of telomerase in tumor growth and progression in addition to telomere maintenance. (+info)FOXO transcription factors cooperate with delta EF1 to activate growth suppressive genes in B lymphocytes. (6/25)
Forkhead transcription factors regulate many aspects of lymphocyte development and function. The FOXO subgroup of Forkhead factors opposes proliferation and survival, and FOXO inactivation is an important outcome of Ag receptor signaling. FOXO activity at target promoters is modulated by other transcription factors in a manner dependent on cell type and external stimulus. We have investigated the mechanisms by which FOXO proteins activate the promoters of two target genes in murine B lymphocytes, Ccng2 (encoding cyclin G2) and Rbl2 (p130), each of which has been implicated in cell cycle arrest. FOXO proteins bound directly to both promoters in vitro and in vivo, augmented transcriptional activity in reporter assays, and increased expression of the endogenous genes. Each of the promoter sequences has consensus binding sites for the deltaEF1 transcription factor, previously shown to either repress or activate different promoters. deltaEF1 bound to the Ccng2 and Rbl2 promoters in vitro and in vivo and increased reporter activity as well as endogenous mRNA levels for these genes. Strikingly, deltaEF1 synergized with FOXO proteins to strongly activate transcription from both promoters. Coexpression of deltaEF1 enhanced FOXO-induced cell cycle arrest in B lymphoma cells. These findings establish a novel mechanism of FOXO function at target promoters: cooperation with deltaEF1. (+info)Estrogen-occupied estrogen receptor represses cyclin G2 gene expression and recruits a repressor complex at the cyclin G2 promoter. (7/25)
Estrogens, acting through their nuclear receptors have a broad impact on target cells, eliciting a transcriptional response program that involves gene repression as well as gene stimulation. While much is known about the mechanisms by which the estrogen-occupied estrogen receptor (ER) stimulates gene expression, the molecular events that lead to gene repression by the hormone-ER complex are largely unknown. Because estradiol represses expression of the cyclin G2 gene, which encodes a negative regulator of the cell cycle, our aim was to understand the mechanism by which cyclin G2 is repressed by estrogen. We show that cyclin G2 is a primary ER target gene in MCF-7 breast cancer cells that is rapidly and robustly down-regulated by estrogen. Promoter analysis reveals a responsive region containing a half-estrogen response element and GC-rich region that interact with ER and Sp1 proteins. Mutation of the half-ERE abrogates hormone-mediated repression. Mutational mapping of receptor reveals a requirement for its N-terminal region and DNA binding domain to support cyclin G2 repression. Following estradiol treatment of cells, chromatin immunoprecipitation analyses reveal recruitment of ER to the cyclin G2 regulatory region, dismissal of RNA polymerase II, and recruitment of a complex containing N-CoR and histone deacetylases, leading to a hypoacetylated chromatin state. Our study provides evidence for a mechanism by which the estrogen-occupied ER is able to actively repress gene expression in vivo and indicates a role for nuclear receptor corepressors and associated histone deacetylase activity in mediating negative gene regulation by this hormone-occupied nuclear receptor. (+info)Cyclin G2 is a centrosome-associated nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein that influences microtubule stability and induces a p53-dependent cell cycle arrest. (8/25)
Cyclin G2 is an atypical cyclin that associates with active protein phosphatase 2A. Cyclin G2 gene expression correlates with cell cycle inhibition; it is significantly upregulated in response to DNA damage and diverse growth inhibitory stimuli, but repressed by mitogenic signals. Ectopic expression of cyclin G2 promotes cell cycle arrest, cyclin dependent kinase 2 inhibition and the formation of aberrant nuclei [Bennin, D. A., Don, A. S., Brake, T., McKenzie, J. L., Rosenbaum, H., Ortiz, L., DePaoli-Roach, A. A., and Horne, M. C. (2002). Cyclin G2 associates with protein phosphatase 2A catalytic and regulatory B' subunits in active complexes and induces nuclear aberrations and a G(1)/S-phase cell cycle arrest. J Biol Chem 277, 27449-67]. Here we report that endogenous cyclin G2 copurifies with centrosomes and microtubules (MT) and that ectopic G2 expression alters microtubule stability. We find exogenous and endogenous cyclin G2 present at microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) where it colocalizes with centrosomal markers in a variety of cell lines. We previously reported that cyclin G2 forms complexes with active protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and colocalizes with PP2A in a detergent-resistant compartment. We now show that cyclin G2 and PP2A colocalize at MTOCs in transfected cells and that the endogenous proteins copurify with isolated centrosomes. Displacement of the endogenous centrosomal scaffolding protein AKAP450 that anchors PP2A at the centrosome resulted in the depletion of centrosomal cyclin G2. We find that ectopic expression of cyclin G2 induces microtubule bundling and resistance to depolymerization, inhibition of polymer regrowth from MTOCs and a p53-dependent cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, we determined that a 100 amino acid carboxy-terminal region of cyclin G2 is sufficient to both direct GFP localization to centrosomes and induce cell cycle inhibition. Colocalization of endogenous cyclin G2 with only one of two GFP-centrin-tagged centrioles, the mature centriole present at microtubule foci, indicates that cyclin G2 resides primarily on the mother centriole. Copurification of cyclin G2 and PP2A subunits with microtubules and centrosomes, together with the effects of ectopic cyclin G2 on cell cycle progression, nuclear morphology and microtubule growth and stability, suggests that cyclin G2 may modulate the cell cycle and cellular division processes through modulation of PP2A and centrosomal associated activities. (+info)Cyclin G1 is a protein that plays a role in regulating the cell cycle, which is the process by which cells grow, divide, and replicate their genetic material. Cyclin G1 is expressed at low levels in most cells, but its levels increase during the G1 phase of the cell cycle, which is the phase when the cell prepares for DNA replication. Cyclin G1 works by binding to and activating an enzyme called cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4), which in turn phosphorylates and inactivates the retinoblastoma protein (Rb). This inactivation of Rb allows the cell to progress through the G1 phase and enter the S phase, where DNA replication occurs. Dysregulation of cyclin G1 expression or activity has been implicated in the development of various types of cancer.
Cyclin G is a protein that plays a role in regulating the cell cycle, which is the process by which cells divide and grow. It is a type of cyclin, which are proteins that are involved in regulating the progression of the cell cycle through different phases. Cyclin G is expressed at low levels in most cells, but its levels increase during certain stages of the cell cycle, particularly during the G1 phase, which is the first phase of the cell cycle. Cyclin G is thought to help regulate the progression of the cell cycle by interacting with and activating cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), which are enzymes that control the progression of the cell cycle. Dysregulation of cyclin G expression or function has been implicated in the development of various types of cancer.
Cyclin D1 is a protein that plays a critical role in regulating the progression of the cell cycle from the G1 phase to the S phase. It is encoded by the CCND1 gene and is expressed in a variety of tissues, including epithelial cells, fibroblasts, and leukocytes. In the cell cycle, cyclin D1 binds to and activates cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), particularly CDK4 and CDK6. This complex then phosphorylates retinoblastoma protein (Rb), which releases the transcription factor E2F from its inhibition. E2F then activates the transcription of genes required for DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. Abnormal expression or activity of cyclin D1 has been implicated in the development of various types of cancer, including breast, prostate, and lung cancer. Overexpression of cyclin D1 can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation and the formation of tumors. Conversely, loss of cyclin D1 function has been associated with cell cycle arrest and the development of cancer.
Cyclin A is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating the cell cycle, which is the process by which cells grow, divide, and replicate their genetic material. Cyclin A is synthesized in the S phase of the cell cycle, when the cell is preparing to divide, and is degraded as the cell enters the G2 phase, before it actually divides. Cyclin A forms a complex with the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 2, which is a key regulator of the cell cycle. This complex phosphorylates a variety of target proteins, including the retinoblastoma protein (Rb), which is a tumor suppressor that prevents cells from dividing unless they have completed the necessary DNA replication and repair processes. When Cyclin A and CDK2 are activated, they promote the progression of the cell cycle from the S phase to the G2 phase, and ultimately to mitosis, the process by which the cell divides into two daughter cells. Dysregulation of Cyclin A expression or activity has been implicated in a variety of diseases, including cancer, where it can contribute to uncontrolled cell proliferation and tumor growth.
Cyclin E is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating the cell cycle, which is the process by which cells grow, divide, and replicate their genetic material. Cyclin E is synthesized in the late G1 phase of the cell cycle and is degraded as the cell enters the S phase, where DNA replication occurs. Cyclin E functions by binding to and activating the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 2, which is a key regulator of the G1/S transition. The cyclin E-CDK2 complex phosphorylates several target proteins, including the retinoblastoma protein (Rb), which is a tumor suppressor that inhibits cell cycle progression. When cyclin E-CDK2 is activated, it phosphorylates Rb, releasing it from its inhibitory complex and allowing the cell to progress into the S phase. Abnormal expression or activity of cyclin E has been implicated in the development of several types of cancer, including breast, ovarian, and cervical cancer. In these cancers, high levels of cyclin E can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation and the formation of tumors. Therefore, cyclin E is an important target for cancer therapy, and several drugs that target cyclin E or its downstream targets are currently being developed for the treatment of cancer.
Cyclin B is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating the progression of the cell cycle, particularly during the M phase (mitosis). It is synthesized and degraded in a tightly regulated manner, with its levels increasing just before the onset of mitosis and decreasing afterwards. Cyclin B forms a complex with the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 1, which is also known as Cdk1. This complex is responsible for phosphorylating various target proteins, including the nuclear envelope, kinetochores, and microtubules, which are essential for the proper progression of mitosis. Disruptions in the regulation of cyclin B and CDK1 activity can lead to various diseases, including cancer. For example, overexpression of cyclin B or mutations in CDK1 can result in uncontrolled cell proliferation and the development of tumors. Conversely, loss of cyclin B function can lead to cell cycle arrest and genomic instability, which can also contribute to cancer development.
Cyclin B1 is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating the progression of the cell cycle, particularly during the M phase (mitosis). It is synthesized and degraded in a tightly regulated manner, with its levels increasing just before the onset of mitosis and decreasing afterwards. Cyclin B1 forms a complex with the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 1, which is a key regulator of cell division. This complex phosphorylates various target proteins, including the nuclear envelope, microtubules, and other cell cycle regulators, to promote the progression of mitosis. Mutations in the gene encoding cyclin B1 have been implicated in several human diseases, including cancer. In particular, overexpression of cyclin B1 has been observed in many types of cancer, and it has been proposed that this contributes to uncontrolled cell proliferation and tumor growth.
Cyclin D2 is a protein that plays a role in regulating the cell cycle, which is the process by which cells grow, divide, and replicate their genetic material. Cyclin D2 is expressed at high levels in cells that are actively dividing, and it helps to promote the progression of the cell cycle from the G1 phase (the first phase of interphase) to the S phase (the second phase of interphase), where DNA replication occurs. In the medical field, cyclin D2 is often studied in the context of cancer. Abnormal expression or activity of cyclin D2 has been linked to the development and progression of various types of cancer, including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and prostate cancer. In these cases, cyclin D2 may contribute to uncontrolled cell growth and division, leading to the formation of tumors. Cyclin D2 is also being studied as a potential therapeutic target in cancer treatment. Researchers are exploring the use of drugs that inhibit the activity of cyclin D2 as a way to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells.
Cyclin D3 is a protein that plays a role in regulating the progression of the cell cycle, which is the process by which cells grow and divide. It is a type of cyclin, which are proteins that are involved in regulating the cell cycle by interacting with cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). Cyclin D3 is expressed primarily in cells that are actively dividing, such as those in the skin, bone marrow, and breast. It helps to promote the progression of the cell cycle from the G1 phase (the first phase of the cell cycle) to the S phase (the second phase), where DNA replication occurs. Abnormal expression of cyclin D3 has been linked to the development of certain types of cancer, including breast, prostate, and colon cancer.
Cyclin A1 is a protein that plays a role in regulating the cell cycle, which is the process by which cells grow, divide, and replicate their genetic material. Cyclin A1 is synthesized in response to cell growth signals and helps to coordinate the progression of the cell cycle through the different stages, including DNA replication and cell division. It is expressed primarily in cells that are actively dividing, such as those in the liver, kidney, and testes. In the medical field, cyclin A1 is often studied in the context of cancer, as its overexpression has been linked to the development and progression of certain types of tumors.
Cyclins are a family of proteins that play a critical role in regulating the progression of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells. They are synthesized and degraded in a cyclic manner, hence their name, and their levels fluctuate throughout the cell cycle. Cyclins interact with cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) to form cyclin-CDK complexes, which are responsible for phosphorylating target proteins and regulating cell cycle progression. Different cyclins are associated with different stages of the cell cycle, and their activity is tightly regulated by various mechanisms, including post-translational modifications and proteolysis. Dysregulation of cyclin expression or activity has been implicated in a variety of diseases, including cancer, where it is often associated with uncontrolled cell proliferation and tumor growth. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms that regulate cyclin expression and activity is important for developing new therapeutic strategies for cancer and other diseases.
Cyclin A2 is a protein that plays a role in regulating the cell cycle, which is the process by which cells grow, divide, and replicate their genetic material. Cyclin A2 is synthesized in response to cell growth signals and helps to coordinate the progression of the cell cycle through its interaction with cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). Specifically, Cyclin A2 forms a complex with CDK2, which is a key regulator of the G1/S transition, the point at which cells move from the G1 phase (resting phase) to the S phase (synthesis phase) of the cell cycle. This complex helps to phosphorylate and activate other proteins involved in the cell cycle, allowing cells to progress through the G1/S transition and enter the S phase. Cyclin A2 is also involved in the regulation of DNA replication and mitosis, the process by which cells divide into two daughter cells.
Cyclin D is a protein that plays a critical role in regulating the progression of the cell cycle, which is the process by which cells divide and replicate. Cyclin D is synthesized in response to growth signals and helps to promote the transition of cells from the G1 phase (interphase) to the S phase (synthesis phase) of the cell cycle. During the S phase, the cell replicates its DNA in preparation for cell division. Cyclin D is often overexpressed in cancer cells, leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation and the development of tumors. In addition, mutations in the genes that encode cyclin D or its regulatory proteins can also contribute to the development of cancer. Cyclin D is a target for several cancer therapies, including targeted therapies that block the activity of cyclin D or its downstream signaling pathways. Understanding the role of cyclin D in the cell cycle and its role in cancer is an active area of research in the medical field.
Cyclin G2 is a protein that plays a role in regulating the cell cycle, which is the process by which cells grow, divide, and replicate their genetic material. Cyclin G2 is involved in the transition from the G1 phase (the first stage of the cell cycle) to the S phase (the stage where DNA replication occurs). It is also involved in the regulation of the G2/M transition, which is the stage where the cell prepares to divide. In the medical field, Cyclin G2 has been implicated in the development of certain types of cancer, including breast cancer and ovarian cancer. It is also being studied as a potential target for cancer therapy.
Cyclin C is a protein that plays a role in regulating the cell cycle, which is the process by which cells divide and grow. It is a member of the cyclin family of proteins, which are involved in regulating the progression of the cell cycle through different phases. Cyclin C is primarily expressed in the brain and is involved in the regulation of neural development and function. It has also been implicated in the development of certain types of cancer, including breast cancer and glioblastoma. In the medical field, cyclin C is studied as a potential target for the development of new treatments for these and other diseases.
Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are a family of protein kinases that play a critical role in regulating cell cycle progression in eukaryotic cells. They are activated by binding to specific regulatory proteins called cyclins, which are synthesized and degraded in a cyclic manner throughout the cell cycle. CDKs phosphorylate target proteins, including other kinases and transcription factors, to promote or inhibit cell cycle progression at specific points. Dysregulation of CDK activity has been implicated in a variety of diseases, including cancer, and is a target for therapeutic intervention.
Cyclin B2 is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating the progression of the cell cycle, particularly during the G2/M phase. It is a member of the cyclin family of proteins, which are involved in regulating the cell cycle by interacting with cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). Cyclin B2 is synthesized and degraded in a tightly regulated manner during the cell cycle. It is synthesized during the G2 phase and accumulates in the cell until the onset of mitosis, at which point it binds to and activates CDK1, forming the cyclin B1/CDK1 complex. This complex is essential for the initiation of mitosis and the proper progression of the cell through the M phase. Disruptions in the regulation of cyclin B2 expression or activity have been implicated in a variety of diseases, including cancer. For example, overexpression of cyclin B2 has been observed in several types of cancer, and it has been suggested that this may contribute to the uncontrolled proliferation of cancer cells. Conversely, loss of cyclin B2 function has been associated with defects in cell cycle progression and may contribute to the development of certain types of cancer.
Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) is an enzyme that plays a critical role in cell cycle regulation. It is a member of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) family of proteins, which are involved in the control of cell division and progression through the cell cycle. CDK2 is activated by binding to cyclin A, a regulatory protein that is expressed during the S phase of the cell cycle. Once activated, CDK2 phosphorylates a variety of target proteins, including the retinoblastoma protein (Rb), which is a key regulator of the cell cycle. Phosphorylation of Rb leads to its inactivation and the release of the transcription factor E2F, which promotes the transcription of genes required for DNA replication and cell division. CDK2 is also involved in the regulation of other cellular processes, including DNA repair, apoptosis, and differentiation. Dysregulation of CDK2 activity has been implicated in a number of diseases, including cancer, where it is often overexpressed or mutated. As such, CDK2 is a target for the development of new cancer therapies.
Cyclin T is a protein that plays a role in regulating the progression of the cell cycle. It is a subunit of the cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) complex, which is involved in the transcription of RNA. Cyclin T is essential for the activation of the transcription factor elongation factor 2 (EF2), which is responsible for the synthesis of proteins. In the context of the medical field, cyclin T has been implicated in the regulation of various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Dysregulation of cyclin T has been associated with several diseases, including cancer, viral infections, and neurological disorders.
Cyclin H is a protein that plays a role in the regulation of cell division. It is a component of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) complex, which is responsible for phosphorylating target proteins and regulating the progression of the cell cycle. Cyclin H is involved in the transition from the G1 phase to the S phase of the cell cycle, where DNA replication occurs. It is also involved in the regulation of DNA repair and the maintenance of genomic stability. Mutations in the gene encoding cyclin H have been associated with an increased risk of certain types of cancer, including colorectal and ovarian cancer.
Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) is a protein that plays a critical role in regulating the cell cycle, which is the process by which cells divide and replicate. CDK4 is a member of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) family of proteins, which are involved in regulating various cellular processes, including cell division, DNA replication, and transcription. CDK4 is activated by binding to cyclin D, a regulatory protein that is produced in response to growth signals. Once activated, CDK4 phosphorylates a number of target proteins, including the retinoblastoma protein (Rb), which is a key regulator of the cell cycle. Phosphorylation of Rb leads to its inactivation, allowing the cell to progress through the cell cycle and divide. Abnormal regulation of CDK4 activity has been implicated in a number of diseases, including cancer. For example, mutations in the CDK4 gene or overexpression of CDK4 have been found in various types of cancer, including breast, prostate, and lung cancer. In these cases, CDK4 may contribute to uncontrolled cell division and the development of tumors. In the medical field, CDK4 inhibitors are being developed as potential treatments for cancer. These drugs work by blocking the activity of CDK4, thereby inhibiting the growth and proliferation of cancer cells. Some CDK4 inhibitors have already been approved for use in certain types of cancer, and others are currently being tested in clinical trials.
CDC2-CDC28 kinases are a family of protein kinases that play a critical role in regulating cell cycle progression in eukaryotic cells. These kinases are named after the two genes that were originally identified in yeast, CDC2 and CDC28. CDC2-CDC28 kinases are involved in several key events during the cell cycle, including the initiation of DNA replication, the progression through the G1, S, G2, and M phases, and the regulation of mitosis. They are also involved in the regulation of cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. Inactivation of CDC2-CDC28 kinases can lead to cell cycle arrest, which can have both positive and negative effects on cell function. For example, cell cycle arrest can prevent the proliferation of cancer cells, but it can also lead to cell death in cells that are unable to repair damaged DNA. In the medical field, CDC2-CDC28 kinases are of interest as potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of various diseases, including cancer, as well as for the development of new drugs to regulate cell cycle progression and cell growth.
CDC2 Protein Kinase is a type of enzyme that plays a crucial role in cell division and the regulation of the cell cycle. It is a serine/threonine protein kinase that is activated during the G2 phase of the cell cycle and is responsible for the initiation of mitosis. CDC2 is also involved in the regulation of DNA replication and the maintenance of genomic stability. In the medical field, CDC2 Protein Kinase is often studied in the context of cancer research, as its dysregulation has been linked to the development and progression of various types of cancer.
Retinoblastoma protein (pRb) is a tumor suppressor protein that plays a critical role in regulating cell cycle progression and preventing the development of cancer. It is encoded by the RB1 gene, which is located on chromosome 13. In normal cells, pRb functions as a regulator of the cell cycle by binding to and inhibiting the activity of the E2F family of transcription factors. When cells are damaged or under stress, pRb is phosphorylated, which leads to its release from E2F and allows the cell to proceed through the cell cycle and divide. However, in cells with a mutated RB1 gene, pRb is unable to function properly, leading to uncontrolled cell division and the formation of tumors. Retinoblastoma is a type of eye cancer that occurs almost exclusively in children and is caused by mutations in the RB1 gene. Other types of cancer, such as osteosarcoma and small cell lung cancer, can also be associated with mutations in the RB1 gene.
Protein Phosphatase 2 (PP2) is a family of serine/threonine phosphatases that play a crucial role in regulating various cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. PP2 is involved in the regulation of many signaling pathways, including the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway, and the Wnt signaling pathway. PP2 is composed of several subunits, including regulatory subunits and catalytic subunits. The regulatory subunits control the activity of the catalytic subunits by binding to them and modulating their activity. The catalytic subunits, on the other hand, are responsible for dephosphorylating target proteins. PP2 has been implicated in several diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. Dysregulation of PP2 activity has been shown to contribute to the development and progression of these diseases. Therefore, understanding the function and regulation of PP2 is important for the development of new therapeutic strategies for these diseases.
Tumor suppressor protein p53 is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating cell growth and preventing the development of cancer. It is encoded by the TP53 gene and is one of the most commonly mutated genes in human cancer. The p53 protein acts as a "guardian of the genome" by detecting DNA damage and initiating a series of cellular responses to repair the damage or trigger programmed cell death (apoptosis) if the damage is too severe. This helps to prevent the accumulation of mutations in the DNA that can lead to the development of cancer. In addition to its role in preventing cancer, p53 also plays a role in regulating cell cycle progression, DNA repair, and the response to cellular stress. Mutations in the TP53 gene can lead to the production of a non-functional or mutated p53 protein, which can result in the loss of these important functions and contribute to the development of cancer. Overall, the p53 protein is a critical regulator of cell growth and survival, and its dysfunction is a common feature of many types of cancer.
Cell cycle proteins are a group of proteins that play a crucial role in regulating the progression of the cell cycle. The cell cycle is a series of events that a cell goes through in order to divide and produce two daughter cells. It consists of four main phases: G1 (Gap 1), S (Synthesis), G2 (Gap 2), and M (Mitosis). Cell cycle proteins are involved in regulating the progression of each phase of the cell cycle, ensuring that the cell divides correctly and that the daughter cells have the correct number of chromosomes. Some of the key cell cycle proteins include cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), and checkpoint proteins. Cyclins are proteins that are synthesized and degraded in a cyclic manner throughout the cell cycle. They bind to CDKs, which are enzymes that regulate cell cycle progression by phosphorylating target proteins. The activity of CDKs is tightly regulated by cyclins, ensuring that the cell cycle progresses in a controlled manner. Checkpoint proteins are proteins that monitor the cell cycle and ensure that the cell does not proceed to the next phase until all the necessary conditions are met. If any errors are detected, checkpoint proteins can halt the cell cycle and activate repair mechanisms to correct the problem. Overall, cell cycle proteins play a critical role in maintaining the integrity of the cell cycle and ensuring that cells divide correctly. Disruptions in the regulation of cell cycle proteins can lead to a variety of diseases, including cancer.
Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27 (p27Kip1) is a protein that plays a role in regulating cell cycle progression. It is a member of the Cip/Kip family of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, which also includes p21 and p57. In the cell cycle, the progression from one phase to the next is tightly regulated by a series of events that involve the activity of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). CDKs are enzymes that are activated by binding to specific cyclins, which are proteins that are synthesized and degraded in a cyclic manner throughout the cell cycle. When CDKs are activated, they phosphorylate target proteins, which can either promote or inhibit cell cycle progression. p27Kip1 acts as a CDK inhibitor by binding to and inhibiting the activity of CDKs. It is primarily expressed in cells that are in a non-dividing state, such as terminally differentiated cells and quiescent cells. In these cells, p27Kip1 helps to maintain the cell in a non-dividing state by inhibiting the activity of CDKs, which prevents the cell from entering the cell cycle. In contrast, p27Kip1 is downregulated or lost in many types of cancer cells, where it is often associated with increased cell proliferation and tumor growth. This suggests that p27Kip1 may play a role in the development and progression of cancer.
Cyclin I is a protein that plays a role in regulating the cell cycle, which is the process by which cells grow, divide, and replicate their genetic material. Cyclin I is a type of cyclin, which are proteins that bind to and activate cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), enzymes that control the progression of the cell cycle. Cyclin I is involved in the G1 phase of the cell cycle, which is the first phase of the cycle and is characterized by cell growth and preparation for DNA replication. During the G1 phase, cyclin I helps to activate CDK4 and CDK6, which in turn phosphorylate and activate other proteins that are necessary for the progression of the cell cycle. Disruptions in the regulation of cyclin I and CDKs can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and the development of cancer.
Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 (p21) is a protein that plays a role in regulating the cell cycle, which is the process by which cells divide and grow. It is encoded by the CDKN1A gene and is a member of the Cip/Kip family of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors. In the cell cycle, the progression from one phase to the next is controlled by a series of checkpoints that ensure that the cell is ready to proceed. One of the key regulators of these checkpoints is the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) family of enzymes. CDKs are activated by binding to cyclins, which are proteins that are synthesized and degraded in a cyclic manner throughout the cell cycle. p21 acts as a CDK inhibitor by binding to and inhibiting the activity of cyclin-CDK complexes. This prevents the complexes from phosphorylating target proteins that are required for the progression of the cell cycle. As a result, p21 helps to prevent the cell from dividing when it is not ready, and it plays a role in preventing the development of cancer. In addition to its role in regulating the cell cycle, p21 has been implicated in a number of other cellular processes, including DNA repair, senescence, and apoptosis (programmed cell death). It is also involved in the response of cells to various stressors, such as DNA damage, oxidative stress, and hypoxia.
Oncogenes are genes that have the potential to cause cancer when they are mutated or expressed at high levels. Oncogenes are also known as proto-oncogenes, and they are involved in regulating cell growth and division. When oncogenes are mutated or expressed at high levels, they can cause uncontrolled cell growth and division, leading to the development of cancer. Oncogene proteins are the proteins that are produced by oncogenes. These proteins can play a variety of roles in the development and progression of cancer, including promoting cell growth and division, inhibiting cell death, and contributing to the formation of tumors.
Interleukin-12 Receptor beta 2 Subunit (IL12RB2) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the immune system. It is a component of the interleukin-12 receptor, which is a signaling complex that binds to interleukin-12 (IL-12), a cytokine produced by immune cells in response to infections or other inflammatory stimuli. IL12RB2 is encoded by the IL12RB2 gene, which is located on chromosome 12. The protein is expressed on the surface of immune cells, including natural killer cells, T cells, and macrophages. When IL-12 binds to its receptor, it triggers a signaling cascade that activates immune cells and promotes the production of other cytokines, such as interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). IFN-γ is a key mediator of the immune response against infections and tumors. Mutations in the IL12RB2 gene can lead to a rare disorder called chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC), which is characterized by recurrent infections with the yeast Candida albicans. CMC is caused by a deficiency in the function of immune cells that are dependent on IL-12 signaling, leading to an impaired ability to fight off infections.
Proto-oncogene proteins c-mdm2 are a family of proteins that play a role in regulating the activity of the tumor suppressor protein p53. p53 is a transcription factor that is activated in response to cellular stress, such as DNA damage or oncogene activation, and helps to prevent the development of cancer by promoting cell cycle arrest, apoptosis (programmed cell death), and DNA repair. Proto-oncogene proteins c-mdm2 can bind to and inhibit the activity of p53, thereby preventing it from carrying out its tumor suppressor functions. This can contribute to the development of cancer by allowing cells with damaged DNA to continue to divide and proliferate. Proto-oncogene proteins c-mdm2 are therefore considered to be oncogenes, which are genes that have the potential to cause cancer.
Protein-Serine-Threonine Kinases (PSTKs) are a family of enzymes that play a crucial role in regulating various cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, metabolism, and apoptosis. These enzymes phosphorylate specific amino acids, such as serine and threonine, on target proteins, thereby altering their activity, stability, or localization within the cell. PSTKs are involved in a wide range of diseases, including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disorders. Therefore, understanding the function and regulation of PSTKs is important for developing new therapeutic strategies for these diseases.
Cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) is an enzyme that plays a critical role in cell cycle regulation. It is a member of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) family, which are regulatory enzymes that control the progression of cells through the different phases of the cell cycle. CDK6 is activated by binding to cyclin D, a regulatory protein that is expressed during the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Once activated, CDK6 phosphorylates a number of target proteins, including the retinoblastoma protein (Rb), which is a key regulator of the G1/S transition. Phosphorylation of Rb leads to its inactivation, allowing the cell to progress through the G1 phase and enter the S phase of the cell cycle. CDK6 is also involved in the regulation of other cellular processes, including DNA replication, transcription, and cell proliferation. Dysregulation of CDK6 activity has been implicated in the development of a number of human diseases, including cancer. For example, overexpression of CDK6 has been observed in many types of cancer, and it is thought to contribute to the uncontrolled cell proliferation that characterizes these diseases.
In the medical field, RNA, Messenger (mRNA) refers to a type of RNA molecule that carries genetic information from DNA in the nucleus of a cell to the ribosomes, where proteins are synthesized. During the process of transcription, the DNA sequence of a gene is copied into a complementary RNA sequence called messenger RNA (mRNA). This mRNA molecule then leaves the nucleus and travels to the cytoplasm of the cell, where it binds to ribosomes and serves as a template for the synthesis of a specific protein. The sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA molecule determines the sequence of amino acids in the protein that is synthesized. Therefore, changes in the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA molecule can result in changes in the amino acid sequence of the protein, which can affect the function of the protein and potentially lead to disease. mRNA molecules are often used in medical research and therapy as a way to introduce new genetic information into cells. For example, mRNA vaccines work by introducing a small piece of mRNA that encodes for a specific protein, which triggers an immune response in the body.
Adenocarcinoma, papillary is a type of cancer that begins in the cells that line certain organs or glands in the body. It is a type of adenocarcinoma, which is a type of cancer that begins in glandular cells. Papillary adenocarcinoma is characterized by the growth of small, finger-like projections called papillae, which can be seen under a microscope. This type of cancer is most commonly found in the thyroid gland, but it can also occur in other organs such as the lungs, breast, and pancreas. Treatment for papillary adenocarcinoma typically involves surgery to remove the affected tissue, followed by radiation therapy or chemotherapy to kill any remaining cancer cells.
The proteasome endopeptidase complex is a large protein complex found in the cells of all eukaryotic organisms. It is responsible for breaking down and recycling damaged or unnecessary proteins within the cell. The proteasome is composed of two main subunits: the 20S core particle, which contains the proteolytic active sites, and the 19S regulatory particle, which recognizes and unfolds target proteins for degradation. The proteasome plays a critical role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and is involved in a wide range of cellular processes, including cell cycle regulation, immune response, and protein quality control. Dysregulation of the proteasome has been implicated in a number of diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and autoimmune diseases.
S-phase kinase-associated proteins (SKAPs) are a family of proteins that play a role in regulating the progression of the cell cycle, specifically during the S phase (DNA synthesis phase). They are involved in the regulation of DNA replication and repair, and are also implicated in the development of certain types of cancer. SKAPs are activated by the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) complex, which is a key regulator of the cell cycle. Dysregulation of SKAPs has been linked to various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation.
Proto-oncogenes are normal genes that are involved in regulating cell growth and division. When these genes are mutated or overexpressed, they can become oncogenes, which can lead to the development of cancer. Proto-oncogenes are also known as proto-oncogene proteins.
Phosphoprotein phosphatases are enzymes that remove phosphate groups from phosphoproteins, which are proteins that have been modified by the addition of a phosphate group. These enzymes play a crucial role in regulating cellular signaling pathways by modulating the activity of phosphoproteins. There are several types of phosphoprotein phosphatases, including protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), protein serine/threonine phosphatases (S/T phosphatases), and phosphatases that can dephosphorylate both tyrosine and serine/threonine residues. Phosphoprotein phosphatases are involved in a wide range of cellular processes, including cell growth and division, metabolism, and immune response. Dysregulation of phosphoprotein phosphatase activity has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders.
Nuclear proteins are proteins that are found within the nucleus of a cell. The nucleus is the control center of the cell, where genetic material is stored and regulated. Nuclear proteins play a crucial role in many cellular processes, including DNA replication, transcription, and gene regulation. There are many different types of nuclear proteins, each with its own specific function. Some nuclear proteins are involved in the structure and organization of the nucleus itself, while others are involved in the regulation of gene expression. Nuclear proteins can also interact with other proteins, DNA, and RNA molecules to carry out their functions. In the medical field, nuclear proteins are often studied in the context of diseases such as cancer, where changes in the expression or function of nuclear proteins can contribute to the development and progression of the disease. Additionally, nuclear proteins are important targets for drug development, as they can be targeted to treat a variety of diseases.
Recombinant fusion proteins are proteins that are produced by combining two or more genes in a single molecule. These proteins are typically created using genetic engineering techniques, such as recombinant DNA technology, to insert one or more genes into a host organism, such as bacteria or yeast, which then produces the fusion protein. Fusion proteins are often used in medical research and drug development because they can have unique properties that are not present in the individual proteins that make up the fusion. For example, a fusion protein might be designed to have increased stability, improved solubility, or enhanced targeting to specific cells or tissues. Recombinant fusion proteins have a wide range of applications in medicine, including as therapeutic agents, diagnostic tools, and research reagents. Some examples of recombinant fusion proteins used in medicine include antibodies, growth factors, and cytokines.
A Kinase Anchor Protein (AKAP) is a type of protein that plays a crucial role in regulating cellular signaling pathways. AKAPs are characterized by their ability to bind to and organize signaling molecules, such as protein kinases, at specific locations within the cell. This allows for the precise regulation of signaling pathways and the localization of signaling events to specific cellular compartments. AKAPs are involved in a wide range of cellular processes, including cell division, muscle contraction, and the regulation of gene expression. They are also implicated in a number of diseases, including cancer, heart disease, and neurological disorders. AKAPs are composed of two main domains: a kinase-binding domain and a membrane-anchoring domain. The kinase-binding domain allows AKAPs to bind to and organize protein kinases, while the membrane-anchoring domain allows them to be anchored to specific cellular membranes. This allows for the localization of signaling events to specific cellular compartments and the regulation of signaling pathways in a spatially and temporally controlled manner.
Tumor suppressor proteins are a group of proteins that play a crucial role in regulating cell growth and preventing the development of cancer. These proteins act as brakes on the cell cycle, preventing cells from dividing and multiplying uncontrollably. They also help to repair damaged DNA and prevent the formation of tumors. Tumor suppressor proteins are encoded by genes that are located on specific chromosomes. When these genes are functioning properly, they produce proteins that help to regulate cell growth and prevent the development of cancer. However, when these genes are mutated or damaged, the proteins they produce may not function properly, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and the development of cancer. There are many different tumor suppressor proteins, each with its own specific function. Some of the most well-known tumor suppressor proteins include p53, BRCA1, and BRCA2. These proteins are involved in regulating cell cycle checkpoints, repairing damaged DNA, and preventing the formation of tumors. In summary, tumor suppressor proteins are a group of proteins that play a critical role in regulating cell growth and preventing the development of cancer. When these proteins are functioning properly, they help to maintain the normal balance of cell growth and division, but when they are mutated or damaged, they can contribute to the development of cancer.
Transcription factors are proteins that regulate gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences and controlling the transcription of genetic information from DNA to RNA. They play a crucial role in the development and function of cells and tissues in the body. In the medical field, transcription factors are often studied as potential targets for the treatment of diseases such as cancer, where their activity is often dysregulated. For example, some transcription factors are overexpressed in certain types of cancer cells, and inhibiting their activity may help to slow or stop the growth of these cells. Transcription factors are also important in the development of stem cells, which have the ability to differentiate into a wide variety of cell types. By understanding how transcription factors regulate gene expression in stem cells, researchers may be able to develop new therapies for diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. Overall, transcription factors are a critical component of gene regulation and have important implications for the development and treatment of many diseases.

- Cyclin-CDK is the fundamental driver of mitosis and therefore ultimately ensures size homeostasis. (elifesciences.org)
- Here, therefore, we have studied in vivo regulation of cyclin-CDK activation at mitosis in the fission yeast. (elifesciences.org)
- Two mitotic cyclin types, cyclin A and B, exist in higher eukaryotes , but their specialised functions in mitosis are incompletely understood. (bvsalud.org)
Synthesis1
- Moreover, the synthesis of the oncogene c-Myc, which promotes G1 cyclin synthesis, is repressed by CLOCK-BMAL1. (nih.gov)
Inhibition1
- Taken together, our data suggest a model in which the cyclic activity of APC/C Fzr/Cdh1 during the Drosophila endocycle is driven by the periodic inhibition of Fzr/Cdh1 by Cyclin E /Cdk2. (silverchair.com)
Expression8
- Estrogen-occupied estrogen receptor represses cyclin G2 gene expression and recruits a repressor complex at the cyclin G2 promoter. (nih.gov)
- Unlike cyclin G1, cyclin G2 contains a C-terminal PEST protein destabilization motif, suggesting that cyclin G2 expression is tightly regulated through the cell cycle. (nih.gov)
- Cyclin D1 expression in transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder: correlation with p53, waf1, pRb and Ki67. (ox.ac.uk)
- and to determine whether cyclin D1 expression could predict clinical outcome. (ox.ac.uk)
- 0.0001) as well as pRb expression but not between cyclin D1 expression and expression of p53. (ox.ac.uk)
- 0.05) but did not correlate with cyclin D1 expression. (ox.ac.uk)
- These results indicate that cyclin D1 expression is significantly higher in low-stage, well differentiated bladder tumours and strongly correlates with waf1 expression. (ox.ac.uk)
- In a multivariate analysis, cyclin D1 expression is an independent prognostic indicator of survival in those patients with muscle-invasive disease. (ox.ac.uk)
Waf11
- 15. 8-60hIPP5(m)-induced G2/M cell cycle arrest involves activation of ATM/p53/p21(cip1/waf1) pathways and delayed cyclin B1 nuclear translocation. (nih.gov)
Activity1
- Using a novel CDK activity sensor, we have monitored cell size, CDK activity, and cyclin-CDK complex level simultaneously, whilst genetically varying regulators of the cyclin-CDK control system. (elifesciences.org)
Found1
- Positive staining for cyclin D1 was found in 83% of tumours. (ox.ac.uk)
Entry1
- Loss of cyclin A in G2-phase prevents mitotic entry. (bvsalud.org)
