The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel.

The yeast ser/thr phosphatases sit4 and ppz1 play opposite roles in regulation of the cell cycle. (1/4298)

Yeast cells overexpressing the Ser/Thr protein phosphatase Ppz1 display a slow-growth phenotype. These cells recover slowly from alpha-factor or nutrient depletion-induced G1 arrest, showing a considerable delay in bud emergence as well as in the expression of the G1 cyclins Cln2 and Clb5. Therefore, an excess of the Ppz1 phosphatase interferes with the normal transition from G1 to S phase. The growth defect is rescued by overexpression of the HAL3/SIS2 gene, encoding a negative regulator of Ppz1. High-copy-number expression of HAL3/SIS2 has been reported to improve cell growth and to increase expression of G1 cyclins in sit4 phosphatase mutants. We show here that the described effects of HAL3/SIS2 on sit4 mutants are fully mediated by the Ppz1 phosphatase. The growth defect caused by overexpression of PPZ1 is intensified in strains with low G1 cyclin levels (such as bck2Delta or cln3Delta mutants), whereas mutation of PPZ1 rescues the synthetic lethal phenotype of sit4 cln3 mutants. These results reveal a role for Ppz1 as a regulatory component of the yeast cell cycle, reinforce the notion that Hal3/Sis2 serves as a negative modulator of the biological functions of Ppz1, and indicate that the Sit4 and Ppz1 Ser/Thr phosphatases play opposite roles in control of the G1/S transition.  (+info)

p27 is involved in N-cadherin-mediated contact inhibition of cell growth and S-phase entry. (2/4298)

In this study the direct involvement of cadherins in adhesion-mediated growth inhibition was investigated. It is shown here that overexpression of N-cadherin in CHO cells significantly suppresses their growth rate. Interaction of these cells and two additional fibroblastic lines with synthetic beads coated with N-cadherin ligands (recombinant N-cadherin ectodomain or specific antibodies) leads to growth arrest at the G1 phase of the cell cycle. The cadherin-reactive beads inhibit the entry into S phase and the reduction in the levels of cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) inhibitors p21 and p27, following serum-stimulation of starved cells. In exponentially growing cells these beads induce G1 arrest accompanied by elevation in p27 only. We propose that cadherin-mediated signaling is involved in contact inhibition of growth by inducing cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase and elevation of p27 levels.  (+info)

Leukemia translocation protein PLZF inhibits cell growth and expression of cyclin A. (3/4298)

The PLZF gene was identified by its fusion with the RARalpha locus in a therapy resistant form of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) associated with the t(11;17)(q23;q21) translocation. Here we describe PLZF as a negative regulator of cell cycle progression ultimately leading to growth suppression. PLZF can bind and repress the cyclin A2 promoter while expression of cyclin A2 reverts the growth suppressed phenotype of myeloid cells expressing PLZF. In contrast RARalpha-PLZF, a fusion protein generated in t(11;17)(q23;q21)-APL activates cyclin A2 transcription and allows expression of cyclin A in anchorage-deprived NIH3T3 cells. Therefore, cyclin A2 is a candidate target gene for PLZF and inhibition of cyclin A expression may contribute to the growth suppressive properties of PLZF. Deregulation of cyclin A2 by RARalpha-PLZF may represent an oncogenic mechanism of this chimeric protein and contribute to the aggressive clinical phenotype of t(11;17)(q23;q21)-associated APL.  (+info)

Interleukin-6 dependent induction of the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor p21WAF1/CIP1 is lost during progression of human malignant melanoma. (4/4298)

Human melanoma cell lines derived from early stage primary tumors are particularly sensitive to growth arrest induced by interleukin-6 (IL-6). This response is lost in cell lines derived from advanced lesions, a phenomenon which may contribute to tumor aggressiveness. We sought to determine whether resistance to growth inhibition by IL-6 can be explained by oncogenic alterations in cell cycle regulators or relevant components of intracellular signaling. Our results show that IL-6 treatment of early stage melanoma cell lines caused G1 arrest, which could not be explained by changes in levels of G1 cyclins (D1, E), cdks (cdk4, cdk2) or by loss of cyclin/cdk complex formation. Instead, IL-6 caused a marked induction of the cdk inhibitor p21WAF1/CIP1 in three different IL-6 sensitive cell lines, two of which also showed a marked accumulation of the cdk inhibitor p27Kip1. In contrast, IL-6 failed to induce p21WAF1/CIP1 transcript and did not increase p21WAF1/CIP1 or p27kip1 proteins in any of the resistant lines. In fact, of five IL-6 resistant cell lines, only two expressed detectable levels of p21WAF1/CIP1 mRNA and protein, while in three other lines, p21WAF1/CIP1 was undetectable. IL-6 dependent upregulation of p21WAF1/CIP1 was associated with binding of both STAT3 and STAT1 to the p21WAF1/CIP1 promoter. Surprisingly, however, IL-6 stimulated STAT binding to this promoter in both sensitive and resistant cell lines (with one exception), suggesting that gross deregulation of this event is not the unifying cause of the defect in p21WAF1/CIP1 induction in IL-6 resistant cells. In somatic cell hybrids of IL-6 sensitive and resistant cell lines, the resistant phenotype was dominant and IL-6 failed to induce p21WAF1/CIP1. Thus, our results suggest that in early stage human melanoma cells, IL-6 induced growth inhibition involves induction of p21WAF1/CIP1 which is lost in the course of tumor progression presumably as a result of a dominant oncogenic event.  (+info)

Caffeine can override the S-M checkpoint in fission yeast. (5/4298)

The replication checkpoint (or 'S-M checkpoint') control prevents progression into mitosis when DNA replication is incomplete. Caffeine has been known for some time to have the capacity to override the S-M checkpoint in animal cells. We show here that caffeine also disrupts the S-M checkpoint in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. By contrast, no comparable effects of caffeine on the S. pombe DNA damage checkpoint were seen. S. pombe cells arrested in early S phase and then exposed to caffeine lost viability rapidly as they attempted to enter mitosis, which was accompanied by tyrosine dephosphorylation of Cdc2. Despite this, the caffeine-induced loss of viability was not blocked in a temperature-sensitive cdc2 mutant incubated at the restrictive temperature, although catastrophic mitosis was prevented under these conditions. This suggests that, in addition to S-M checkpoint control, a caffeine-sensitive function may be important for maintenance of cell viability during S phase arrest. The lethality of a combination of caffeine with the DNA replication inhibitor hydroxyurea was suppressed by overexpression of Cds1 or Chk1, protein kinases previously implicated in S-M checkpoint control and recovery from S phase arrest. In addition, the same combination of drugs was specifically tolerated in cells overexpressing either of two novel S. pombe genes isolated in a cDNA library screen. These findings should allow further molecular investigation of the regulation of S phase arrest, and may provide a useful system with which to identify novel drugs that specifically abrogate the checkpoint control.  (+info)

Regulation of the start of DNA replication in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. (6/4298)

Cells of Schizosaccharomyces pombe were grown in minimal medium with different nitrogen sources under steady-state conditions, with doubling times ranging from 2.5 to 14 hours. Flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy confirmed earlier findings that at rapid growth rates, the G1 phase was short and cell separation occurred at the end of S phase. For some nitrogen sources, the growth rate was greatly decreased, the G1 phase occupied 30-50% of the cell cycle, and cell separation occurred in early G1. In contrast, other nitrogen sources supported low growth rates without any significant increase in G1 duration. The method described allows manipulation of the length of G1 and the relative cell cycle position of S phase in wild-type cells. Cell mass was measured by flow cytometry as scattered light and as protein-associated fluorescence. The extensions of G1 were not related to cell mass at entry into S phase. Our data do not support the hypothesis that the cells must reach a certain fixed, critical mass before entry into S. We suggest that cell mass at the G1/S transition point is variable and determined by a set of molecular parameters. In the present experiments, these parameters were influenced by the different nitrogen sources in a way that was independent of the actual growth rate.  (+info)

Immunologic proliferation marker Ki-S2 as prognostic indicator for lymph node-negative breast cancer. (7/4298)

BACKGROUND: Proper treatment of lymph node-negative breast cancer depends on an accurate prognosis. To improve prognostic models for this disease, we evaluated whether an immunohistochemical marker for proliferating cells, Ki-S2 (a monoclonal antibody that binds to a 100-kd nuclear protein expressed in S, G2, and M phases of the cell cycle), is an accurate indicator of prognosis. METHODS: We studied 371 Swedish women with lymph node-negative breast cancer; the median follow-up time was 95 months. The fraction of tumor cells in S phase was assessed by flow cytometry, and tumor cell proliferation was measured immunohistochemically with the monoclonal antibodies Ki-S2 and Ki-S5 (directed against the nuclear antigen Ki-67). A combined prognostic index was calculated on the basis of the S-phase fraction, progesterone receptor content, and tumor size. RESULTS: In multivariate analyses that did or did not (263 and 332 observations, respectively) include the S-phase fraction and the combined prognostic index, the Ki-S2 labeling index (percentage of antibody-stained tumor cell nuclei) emerged as the most statistically significant predictor of overall survival, disease-specific survival, and disease-free survival (all two-sided P<.0001). In the risk group defined by a Ki-S2 labeling index of 10% or less, life expectancy was not statistically significantly different from that of age-matched women without breast cancer, whereas the group with a high Ki-S2 labeling index had an increased risk of mortality of up to 20-fold. CONCLUSIONS: Cellular proliferation is a major determinant of the biologic behavior of breast cancer. Prognosis is apparently best indicated by the percentage of cells in S through M phases of the cell cycle. Measurement of the Ki-S2 labeling index of a tumor sample may improve a clinician's ability to make an accurate prognosis and to identify patients with a low risk of recurrence who may not need adjuvant therapy.  (+info)

Fus3p and Kss1p control G1 arrest in Saccharomyces cerevisiae through a balance of distinct arrest and proliferative functions that operate in parallel with Far1p. (8/4298)

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, mating pheromones activate two MAP kinases (MAPKs), Fus3p and Kss1p, to induce G1 arrest prior to mating. Fus3p is known to promote G1 arrest by activating Far1p, which inhibits three Clnp/Cdc28p kinases. To analyze the contribution of Fus3p and Kss1p to G1 arrest that is independent of Far1p, we constructed far1 CLN strains that undergo G1 arrest from increased activation of the mating MAP kinase pathway. We find that Fus3p and Kss1p both control G1 arrest through multiple functions that operate in parallel with Far1p. Fus3p and Kss1p together promote G1 arrest by repressing transcription of G1/S cyclin genes (CLN1, CLN2, CLB5) by a mechanism that blocks their activation by Cln3p/Cdc28p kinase. In addition, Fus3p and Kss1p counteract G1 arrest through overlapping and distinct functions. Fus3p and Kss1p together increase the expression of CLN3 and PCL2 genes that promote budding, and Kss1p inhibits the MAP kinase cascade. Strikingly, Fus3p promotes proliferation by a novel function that is not linked to reduced Ste12p activity or increased levels of Cln2p/Cdc28p kinase. Genetic analysis suggests that Fus3p promotes proliferation through activation of Mcm1p transcription factor that upregulates numerous genes in G1 phase. Thus, Fus3p and Kss1p control G1 arrest through a balance of arrest functions that inhibit the Cdc28p machinery and proliferative functions that bypass this inhibition.  (+info)

N2 - The S-phase DNA damage checkpoint is activated by DNA damage to delay DNA synthesis allowing time to resolve the replication block. We previously discovered the p53-dependent S-phase DNA damage checkpoint in mouse zygotes fertilized with irradiated sperm. Here, we report that the same p53 dependency holds in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) at low doses of irradiation. DNA synthesis in p53 wild-type (WT) MEFs was suppressed in a biphasic manner in which a sharp decrease below 2.5 Gy was followed by a more moderate decrease up to 10 Gy. In contrast, p53-/- MEFs exhibited radioresistant DNA synthesis below 2.5 Gy whereas the cells retained the moderate suppression above 5 Gy. DNA fiber analysis ...
The Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) complex has many biological functions: processing of double-strand breaks in meiosis, homologous recombination, telomere maintenance, S-phase checkpoint, and genome stability during replication. In the S-phase DNA damage checkpoint, MRN acts both in activation of checkpoint signaling and downstream of the checkpoint kinases to slow DNA replication. Mechanistically, MRN, along with its cofactor Ctp1, is involved in 5 resection to create single-stranded DNA that is required for both signaling and homologous recombination. However, it is unclear whether resection is essential for all of the cellular functions of MRN. To dissect the various roles of MRN, we performed a structure-function analysis of nuclease dead alleles and potential separation-of-function alleles analogous to those found in the human disease ataxia telangiectasia-like disorder, which is caused by mutations in Mre11. We find that several alleles of rad32 (the fission yeast homologue of mre11), along with
Cells were treated with either UVA or TMP/UVA. a Sequential IP demonstrates association of early-replicating Alu sequences with DONSON and late-replicating Satellite 3 sequences with FANCM. LINE-1 elements replicate throughout the S phase and are found in all fractions. Representative blot (n = 3). b DONSON interaction with the H3K4me3 euchromatin mark is more frequent in early S phase cells than in late S phase, while there is little interaction with the H3K9me3 heterochromatin mark in either stage. Sorted early and late S phase cells were examined by PLA. Scored nuclei: PLA between GFP-D: H3K4me3 of early S phase = 67, late S phase = 64, PLA between GFP-D: H3K9me3 of early S phase = 70, late S phase = 85, from three biological replicates. Data are mean ± s.e.m. c FANCM interaction with H3K9me3 heterochromatin mark is biased toward late S phase, while there is low interaction frequency with H3K4me3 in either stage.

CDC25A plays a role in the unperturbed cell cycle (Ben-Yehoyada et al., 2007); to address the concern that the CDC25A siRNA was slowing down replication, which would affect the result, we pulsed cells with BrdU after 48 h of CDC25A siRNA transfection and chased the cells for 8 h. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that the progression through S phase at these time points was largely unaffected by the lower cellular concentration of CDC25A (Fig. S3 E). Thus, repression of DNA damage after CDC25A depletion is not caused by markedly slowed progression through S phase or G1-phase arrest.. Finally, we asked whether CDC25A accumulation could be an important determinant of the proliferative capability of cells depleted for CHK1 because coknockdown of CDC25A with CHK1 abolished the majority of DNA damage. Importantly, TIG-3-tert cells depleted for CHK1 proliferated very poorly, whereas this phenotype was partly rescued by codepletion of CDC25A. In fact, cells depleted for both CDC25A and CHK1 ...

PR-Set7/SET8 is a histone H4-lysine 20 methyltransferase required for normal cell proliferation. However, the exact functions of this enzyme remain to be determined. In this study, we show that human PR-Set7 functions during S phase to regulate cellular proliferation. PR-Set7 associates with replication foci and maintains the bulk of H4-K20 mono- and trimethylation. Consistent with a function in chromosome dynamics during S phase, inhibition of PR-Set7 methyltransferase activity by small hairpin RNA causes a replicative stress characterized by alterations in replication fork velocity and origin firing. This stress is accompanied by massive induction of DNA strand breaks followed by a robust DNA damage response. The DNA damage response includes the activation of ataxia telangiectasia mutated and ataxia telangiectasia related kinase-mediated pathways, which, in turn, leads to p53-mediated growth arrest to avoid aberrant chromosome behavior after improper DNA replication. Collectively, these data ...
To achieve faithful replication of the genome once in each cell cycle, reinitiation of S phase is prevented in G(2) and origins are restricted from refiring within S phase. We have investigated the block to rereplication during G(2) in fission yeast. The DNA synthesis that occurs when G(2)/M cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) activity is depleted has been assumed to be repeated rounds of S phase without mitosis, but this has not been demonstrated to be the case. We show here that on G(2)/M CDK depletion in G(2), repeated S phases are induced, which are correlated with normal G(1)/S transcription and attainment of doublings in cell size. Mostly normal mitotic S-phase origins are utilized, although at different efficiencies, and replication is essentially equal across the genome. We conclude that CDK inhibits reinitiation of S phase during G(2), and if G(2)/M CDK is depleted, replication results from induction of a largely normal S-phase program with only small differences in origin usage and efficiency ...
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a single cyclin-dependent kinase, Cdc28, regulates both G1/S and G2/M phase transitions by associating with stage-specific cyclins. During progression through S phase and G2/M, Cdc28 is activated by the B-type cyclins Clb1-6. Because of functional redundancy, specific roles for individual Clbs have been difficult to assign. To help genetically define such roles, strains carrying a cdc28(ts) allele, combined with single CLB deletions were studied. It is assumed that by limiting the activity of the kinase, these strains would be rendered more sensitive to loss of individual Clbs. By this approach, a novel phenotype associated with CLB5 mutation was observed. Homozygous cdc28-4(ts) clb5 diploids are not viable at room temperature. Cells are defective in spindle positioning, leading to migration of undivided nuclei into the bud. Occasionally, misplaced spindles are observed in cdc28-4 clb5 haploids; additional deletion of CLB6 causes full penetrance. Thus, CLB5 brings ...

Duplication of a cells genetic material is of paramount importance. This task must be completed accurately, efficiently and occur once and only once within any given cell cycle. Origin firing, which occurs according to a temporal program, results in the establishment of bidirectional replication forks. As replication forks traverse the chromosomal landscape, their stability is threatened by endogenous obstacles such as heavily transcribed tRNAs, protein-DNA complexes and replication slow zones. In addition, fork stability can also be threatened by genotoxic agents. During S phase, in response to genotoxin-induced stress, the cell activates the intra-S phase checkpoint. The intra-S phase checkpoint is comprised of three major groups of proteins: sensors, adaptors and effectors. Sensor proteins detect problems at the replication fork and elicit a phosphorylation cascade that is mediated by adaptor proteins and results in the activation of effector kinases. Together, these proteins act to ...
Faithful duplication and segregation of undamaged DNA is critical to the survival of all organisms and prevention of oncogenesis in multicellular organisms. To ensure inheritance of intact DNA, cells rely on checkpoints. Checkpoints alter cellular processes in the presence of DNA damage preventing cell cycle transitions until replication is completed or DNA damage is repaired. Several checkpoints are specific to S-phase. The S-M replication checkpoint prevents mitosis in the presence of unreplicated DNA. Rather than outright halting replication, the S-phase DNA damage checkpoint slows replication in response to DNA damage. This checkpoint utilizes two general mechanisms to slow replication. First, this checkpoint prevents origin firing thus limiting the number of replication forks traversing the genome in the presence of damaged DNA. Second, this checkpoint slows the progression of the replication forks. Inhibition of origin firing in response to DNA damage is well established, however when this thesis
To maintain genome stability, DNA replication occurs only once in each cell cycle. This is achieved by the cell cycle-dependent licensing control that permits assembly of prereplication complexes (pre-RCs) at replication origins only once per cell cycle (Mendez and Stillman, 2003; Diffley, 2004; Nishitani and Lygerou, 2004; Blow and Dutta, 2005; Arias and Walter, 2007). On exit from metaphase, the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) 2-7 complex is recruited to replication origins to establish pre-RCs. Once replication is activated by the Cdks and Cdc7/Dbf4 kinase, pre-RCs are disassembled and the reassociation of MCM proteins with origins is not permitted until the completion of mitosis.. Regulation of Cdt1 activity during the cell cycle is critical for the prevention of reassembly of pre-RCs within a single cell cycle (Blow and Dutta, 2005; Arias and Walter, 2007). When cells enter S phase, Cdt1 is ubiquitinated and degraded (Nishitani et al., 2001; Li et al., 2003; Zhong et al., 2003; Arias and ...
Mechanisms for the initiation signal that delays the MI division.We address three possible mechanisms for the earlier start of the MI division in initiation mutants. The first hypothesis is that WT cells have a longer S phase because of the presence of recombination initiation proteins and that this results in a normal delay of the MI division. Cha et al. (4) showed that premeiotic S phase is shorter in spo11 mutants than in WT cells (4). This is consistent with the view that the shorter S phase results in the earlier timing of the MI division observed in spo11 mutants. The same authors, however, also showed that rec102 mutants had normal timing of premeiotic S phase (4). This is something of a paradox, since rec102 mutants clearly begin the MI division earlier than WT cells. We observe no significant differences in the timing of S phase (measured in three different ways) between WT cells and rec102, rec104, rec114, and spo11 mutants (Table 1). We note that the exact time at which 50% of cells ...
In the absence of Rif1, this mid‐S‐phase architecture is not formed, allowing Cdc7 kinase to gain access in early‐S‐phase to the origins that would normally not be activated until mid‐S‐phase. This would explain the increased Cdc7‐dependent phosphorylation of the target proteins and hyper‐loading of Cdc45 and PCNA onto chromatin in Rif1‐depleted cells at early‐S‐phase (Figure 1). As a result of loss of mid‐S replication domains, replication timing domain structures may undergo genome‐wide alteration. It should be noted that replication timing is generally more centred to mid‐S in the absence of Rif1, although mid‐S replication foci pattern is lost and all the replication foci appear to adopt the early‐S‐like pattern (Supplementary Figure S9). This effect of Rif1 on replication timing is similar to what we observed in fission yeast rif1Δ mutant, where some early‐firing origins are delayed and late‐firing/dormant origins are fired earlier (Hayano et al, ...

A stochastic model for interpreting BrdUrd DNA FCM-derived data is proposed. The model is based on branching processes and describes the progression of the DNA distribution of BrdUrd-labelled cells through the cell cycle. With the main focus on estimating the S phase duration and its variation, the DNA replication rate is modelled by a piecewise linear function, while assuming a gamma distribution for the S phase duration. Estimation of model parameters was carried out using maximum likelihood for data from two different cell lines. The results provided quite a good fit to the data, suggesting that stochastic models may be a valuable tool for analysing this kind of data.

Here, we show that overexpression of p107 in fibroblasts inhibits Cdk2 activation and delays S phase entry. The inhibition of Cdk2 activity is correlated with the accumulation of p27, consequent to a decreased degradation of the protein, with no change of Thr187 phosphorylation. Instead, we observed a marked decrease in the abundance of the F-box receptor Skp2 in p107-overexpressing cells. Reciprocally, Skp2 accumulates to higher levels in p107-/- embryonic fibroblasts. Ectopic expression of Skp2 restores p27 ...
Cells divide with remarkable fidelity, allowing complex organisms to develop and possess longevity. Checkpoint controls contribute by ensuring that genome duplication and segregation occur without error so that genomic instability, associated with developmental abnormalities and a hallmark of most human cancers, is avoided. S-phase checkpoints prevent cell division while DNA is replicating. Budding yeast Mec1p and Rad53p, homologues of human checkpoint kinases ATM/ATR and Chk2, are needed for this control system. How Mec1p and Rad53p prevent mitosis in S phase is not known. Here we provide evidence that budding yeasts avoid mitosis during S phase by regulating the anaphase-promoting complex (APC) specificity factor Cdc20p: Mec1p and Rad53p repress the accumulation of Cdc20p in S phase. Because precocious Cdc20p accumulation causes anaphase onset and aneuploidy, Cdc20p concentrations must be precisely regulated during each and every cell cycle. Catastrophic mitosis induced by Cdc20p in S phase ...

Molecular cloning and characterisation of a human nuclear protein designated BM28 is reported. On the amino acid level this 892 amino acid protein, migrating on SDS-gels as a 125 kDa polypeptide, shares areas of significant similarity with a recently defined family of early S phase proteins. The members of this family, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mcm2p, Mcm3p, Cdc46p/Mcm5p, the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Cdc21p and the mouse protein P1 are considered to be involved in the onset of DNA replication. The highest similarity was found with Mcm2p (42% identity over the whole length and higher than 75% over a conservative region of 215 amino acid residues), suggesting that BM28 could represent the human homologue of the S. cerevisiae MCM2. Using antibodies raised against the recombinant BM28 the corresponding antigen was found to be localised in the nuclei of various mammalian cells. Microinjection of anti-BM28 antibody into synchronised mouse NIH3T3 or human HeLa cells presents evidence for the ...

AU - Wadler, Scott. PY - 2002/10/1. Y1 - 2002/10/1. N2 - The E2F family plays a critical role in the expression of genes required for entry into and progression through S phase. E2F-mediated transcription is repressed by the tumor suppressor retinoblastoma protein (pRb), which results in sequestration of E2F in a multiprotein complex that includes pRb. Derepression of E2F results from a series of complex phosphorylation events mediated by cyclin D/cdk4 and cyclin E/cdk2. We have employed a novel 3-substituted indolinone compound, 3-[1-(3H-imidazol-4-yl)-meth-(Z)-ylidene]-5-methoxy-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one (SU9516), which selectively inhibits cdk2 activity (Lane et al., Cancer Res 2001;61:6170-7) to investigate these events. Electrophoretic mobility gel shift assays were performed on SU9516-treated and ...
Progression through S phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle is regulated by the action of the cyclin dependent protein kinase 2 (CDK2) in association with cyclin A. CDK2/cyclin A phosphorylates numerous substrates. Substrate specificity often employs a dual recognition strategy in which the sequence flanking the phospho-acceptor site (Ser.Pro.X.Arg/Lys) is recognized by CDK2, while the cyclin A component of the complex contains a hydrophobic site that binds Arg/Lys.X.Leu (RXL or KXL) substrate recruitment motifs. To determine additional sequence specificity motifs around the RXL sequence, we have performed X-ray crystallographic studies at 2.3 A resolution and isothermal calorimetry measurements on complexes of phospho-CDK2/cyclin A with a recruitment peptide derived from E2F1 and with shorter 11-mer peptides from p53, pRb, p27, E2F1, and p107. The results show that the cyclin recruitment site accommodates a second hydrophobic residue either immediately C-terminal or next adjacent to the ...

Muktadir S. Hossain completed his Ph.D. at the University of Tokyo, Japan in 2004 where he showed that quiescent (G0) phase cells of multicellular eukaryotes like mammals and insects require DNA topoisomeras II enzyme for the re-entry into the cell cycle, whereas the unicellular eukaryotes like yeast do not. The title of his Ph.D. dissertation is Requirement for DNA topoisomerase II during the G0-to-S phase transition in mammalian and insect cells. In the University of Tokyo as a Ph.D. student, he participated in the isolation of temperature-sensitive mutants of the pathogenic bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus. In the University of Tokyo as a Ph.D. student, he also showed that the DNA double-strand break-inducing drugs that are used to treat cancner can induce myogenic differentiation in cultured cells of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. In the University of Tokyo as a Research Assistant, he established the larvae of the silk moth, Bombyx mori as animal model to study purified toxins ...
Traversing the cell-division cycle may require more than a single exposure to growth factor. Jones and Kazlauskas suggest that the G0 to S interval may be divided into two phases, each requiring stimulation of distinct signaling events by growth factor. Serum-arrested fibroblast cells could be driven into S phase either by continuous long exposure to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or by two shorter pulses of PDGF at distinct times. The first segment of the G1 phase required activation of the Erk pathway and c-Myc; the latter part of G1 required phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase activity. An analysis of growth factors that stimulate either receptor tyrosine kinases or G protein-coupled receptors revealed that exposure to different combinations of these agents in the first and second phases of the interval could also promote progression to S phase. The authors propose that the earlier biochemical events may cause accumulation of proteins that are required by the later signaling events to ...
The p53 oncosuppressor protein is a critical mediator of the response to injury in mammalian cells and is mutationally inactivated in the majority of lung malignancies. In this analysis, the effects of p53-deficiency were investigated in short-term primary cultures of murine bronchiolar Clara cells. Clara cells, isolated from gene-targeted p53-deficient mice, were compared to cells derived from wild type littermates. p53 null cultures displayed abnormal morphology; specifically, a high incidence of multinucleation, which increased with time in culture. Multinucleated cells were proficient in S phase DNA synthesis, as determined by BrdU incorporation. However, multinucleation did not reflect altered rates of S phase synthesis, which were similar between wild type and p53-/- cultures. Nucleation defects in p53-/- Clara cells associated with increased centrosome number, as determined by confocal microscopy of pericentrin-stained cultures, and may highlight a novel role of p53 in preserving genomic
Synchronized VSMCs were obtained by the method of double-thymidine block,colchicine treatment and serum starvation . Synchronized growth was monitored by flow cytometry. All the synchronized VSMCs distribution ration were 89.22% (±3.54%) at G0 phase, (66.74±7.16%) at G1/S phase, (63.24±4.06)% at S phase and (51.64±11.18)% at G2/M phase. The expression of ORC1 mRNA and CyclinA in a quiescent stage of VSMC was not significantly found, After synchronized, peaked(50.4%) at G2/M of CyclinA, and decreased(1.03%) at G2/M of ORC1, CyclinA in preventing the ORC1 from bind during G2/Mphase. The expression of ORC1 protein and CyclinA had a same change as ORC1 mRNA and CyclinA in different cell cycles of VSMC by flow cytometry (P,0.001). ...

Chromosome replication is a key event in the eukaryotic cell division cycle. During S phase the entire genome must be faithfully duplicated with the minimum of errors. The many thousands of replication forks involved in this process must be co-ordinated to ensure that despite the very large quantities of DNA involved, no section of DNA is left unreplicated and no section of DNA is replicated more than once. Cells achieve this by having a distinct stage that occurs prior to S phase when replication origins are licensed for replication. At the onset of S phase, replication forks are initiated only at these licensed replication origins. As initiation occurs at each origin, the licence is removed, thereby ensuring that it fires only once in each cell cycle. Mistakes made in this process may cause irreversible genetic modifications that could ultimately lead to the cells becoming cancerous. Many early stage cancer cells have lost the ability to correctly down-regulate the licensing system, ...
p21CDKN1A does not interfere with loading of PCNA at DNA replication sites, but inhibits subsequent binding of DNA polymerase delta at the G1/S phase transition.
The p110α and p110β catalytic subunits of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) regulate cell cycle events. Marqués et al. found that NIH 3T3 cells overexpressing p110β, but not p110α, divided more rapidly than control cells, whereas cells expressing a catalytically inactive p110β point mutant (Lys805→Arg; K805R) divided more slowly than control cells or cells expressing a catalytically inactive p110α mutant. Specifically, S phase progression was accelerated in cells overexpressing p110β and slowed in cells expressing the K805R mutant, suggesting a role for p110β in DNA elongation. Individual DNA fibers were isolated from synchronously dividing NIH 3T3 cells treated with inhibitors specific for p110α (PIK75) or for p110β (TGX221) and subsequently incubated with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU). In DNA fibers from TGX221-treated cells, the BrdU-labeled sections were shorter in length and closer together compared with those from PIK75-treated cells, implying that replication fork progression was ...
Plays a role in viral genome replication by driving entry of quiescent cells into the cell cycle. Stimulation of progression from G1 to S phase allows the virus to efficiently use the cellular DNA replicating machinery to achieve viral genome replication. E7 protein has both transforming and trans-activating activities. Induces the disassembly of the E2F1 transcription factor from RB1, with subsequent transcriptional activation of E2F1-regulated S-phase genes. Interferes with host histone deacetylation mediated by HDAC1 and HDAC2, leading to transcription activation. Plays also a role in the inhibition of both antiviral and antiproliferative functions of host interferon alpha. Interaction with host TMEM173/STING impairs the ability of TMEM173/STING to sense cytosolic DNA and promote the production of type I interferon (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta ...

The end of the S phase of the cell cycle leads to G2 phase, which in turns leads to the M phase or mitosis. During G2 phase, there must be an increasing amount of molecules needed for M phase. G2 phase has been traditionally regarded as a transitional phase between S and M phases. However, during G2 phase, it is checked if any error occurred during DNA replication and if the DNA has been completely replicated. If something went wrong during S phase, M phase does not start until the errors are repaired. It is of great importance the detection of errors before M phase starts, otherwise they will be inherited by the daughter cells. During G2 phase, cell increases the size, and centrosomes of animal cells, duplicated during S phase too, are positioned at opposite locations of the cytoplasm for starting the polymerization of the mitotic spindle during M phase. ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Rapid cell cycle analysis. II. Phase durations and dispersions from computer analysis of RC curves.. AU - Gray, J. W.. AU - Bogart, E.. AU - Gavel, D. T.. AU - George, Y. S.. AU - Moore, D. H.. PY - 1983/9. Y1 - 1983/9. N2 - In this paper, we present a procedure for the rapid, quantitative estimation of the G1, S, and G2 + M phase durations and dispersions and the growth fraction for asynchronously growing cell populations. In this procedure, the cell population is pulse-labelled with a radioactive DNA precursor at the beginning of the analysis and then sampled periodically. The samples are dispersed, stained with a DNA specific dye, and processed through a cell sorter where cells from mid-S phase and G1 phase are sorted. The radioactivity per cell (RC) is determined for each sorted sample. In addition, the variation in the rate of incorporation of the radioactive DNA precursor across S phase is determined and the fractions of cells in the G1, S, and G2 + M phase are estimated ...

Over the following 36 h, we quantified by movement cytometry the charge of EdU nucleotide analogue incor poration from the cells and their total DNA content material, which allowed us to assign cells to G0G1, S, and G2M phases with the cell cycle. When compared to cells transfected using a management non targeting microRNA, cells transfected with miR 29 contained fewer cells in G0G1 and much more cells in S phase at twenty and 24 h submit transfec tion. At 28 and 32 h right after trans fection, cells transfected with miR 29 contained fewer cells in S phase and much more cells in G2M phase than these transfected with the handle. miR 29 overexpression thus hastens re entry into the cell cycle from a quiescent state. To more discover the results of miR 29 expression around the cell cycle, we transfected miR 29 or perhaps a detrimental manage microRNA into asynchronously cycling fibroblasts.. Forty eight hrs publish transfection, miR 29 transfection led to extra cells in G2M. As anticipated ...
Flow-cytometric analysis was used to examine the cell cycle characteristics of BMKs from each of the three genotypes ( Fig. 4A), and the data shown are representative of three independently derived cultures from each genotype. LSL-K-rasG12D BMKs infected with Ad-Cre displayed a higher percentage of cells in G1 and S phases (40.8% and 15.2%, respectively) than control cells (33.4% and 11.5%, respectively). We believe that this is indicative of an increased rate of exit from G2-M and increased cellular proliferation, as supported by data obtained from daily cell counts in LSL-K-rasG12D BMKs (see Fig. 4C and below). Importantly, Ad-Cre-infected Rac1flox/flox BMKs displayed similar growth kinetics to LSL-K-rasG12D BMKs (39.6% of cells in the G1 phase and 13.5% in the S phase compared with controls at 34.9% in the G1 phase and 11.6% in the S phase). Thus, in BMK cells, loss of Rac1 function alone is not lethal and is compatible with proliferation. In contrast, following Ad-Cre infection, ...

Los Angeles Times:. And Obamas recent moves regarding a lawsuit by detainees have left some liberal groups and Bush critics, including the American Civil Liberties Union, feeling betrayed, given that Obama was a harsh critic of Bushs detainee policies when running for office last year.. The anxiety is also being felt in the labor movement, one of Obamas most important support bases. Some union officials and their allies are frustrated that at a crucial point in negotiations over his massive stimulus package, Obama seemed to call for limits on "Buy American" provisions in the bill aimed at making sure stimulus money would be spent on U.S.-made materials.. Obama has been president for less than a month, and his liberal critics concede that the economic crisis has understandably taken the focus off their issues.
