酵母细胞周期调控的研究进展

酵母是一种研究细胞周期调控的好材料,在细胞周期的调控研究中具有重要作用。现在通常以芽殖酵母和裂殖酵母为代表进行研究。这两种酵母的细胞周期进程与高等真核生物相比各有其特点。 酵母细胞周期运行中存在有三个不同的控制点,即start点、S期启动点、G2/M转换处。在这三个不同的控制点起作用的CDK的组成是不同的。芽殖酵母分别是Cdc28-Clns;Cdc28-Clb5和Cdc28-Clb6;Cdc28-Clb1、Cdc28-Clb2、Cdc28-Clb3和Cdc28-Clb4。裂殖酵母中分别是Cdc2-Cig2;Cdc2-Cig2;Cdc2-Cdc13和Cdc2-Cig1,其中芽殖酵母中的Cdc28和裂殖酵母中的cdc2是等效基因。不同的控制点存在着不同 的调控机制,它们涉及到大量的基因,其中以G2/M转换处的调控机制研究得最早也最透彻。另外,APC途径在M中期/后期转化中起着重要作用。     

细胞周期的检查点调控机制

细胞周期是指细胞通过一系列有序的细胞内事件,实现细胞生长和分裂增殖的过程。细胞周期调控机制的研究主要包括两方面内容,一方面研究细胞是怎样起动和完成细胞内的重要事件,进而完成细胞分裂;另一方面研究细胞怎样保证这些事件按次序正常地运行,以保证细胞能正常增殖与生存。细胞周期的检查点(cell cycle checkpoints)调控机制就是这种保     

高等植物细胞周期调控研究进展

高等植物的细胞周期（cell cycle)在其生长发育过程中受严格调控的,细胞周期的运转是基因有序表达的结果,并受的因素的影响,植物细胞周期研究近年来已取得的较大的进展,本文综述了近几年与植物细胞周期调控相关的细胞周期蛋白（cyclins),细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶（CDKs)等内部调控因子及外源影响因素的研究进展。     

细胞周期调控的研究进展

细胞周期是一种非常复杂和精细的调节过程,有大量调节蛋白参与其中。此过程的核心是细胞周期依赖性蛋白激酶（CDKs）。CDKs的激活又依赖于另一类呈细胞周期特异性或时相性表达的细胞周期蛋白（cyclins）,而CDKs调节的关键步骤是细胞周期检查点。PLKs是多种细胞周期检查点的主要调节因子,Aurora蛋白激酶主要在细胞有丝分裂期起作用。本文就上述因素在细胞周期进程中的作用作一综述。     

细胞周期负调控

调控细胞周期的关键是调节细胞周期蛋白依赖性蛋白激酶(CDK)的活性。细胞周期蛋白可结合并激活CDK,CDK活性还可通过磷酸化作用调节。因此细胞周期负调控包括以下3点:①细胞周期蛋白降解速度;②CDK磷酸化状态;③CDK抑制蛋白(CKI)。酵母中CKI包括FAR1,p40、PHO81,哺乳动物CKI有p21家族(包括p21、p27)及p16家族(包括p16、p15)。细胞周期负调控与抑癌基因密切相关,是不同抗肿瘤因子作用的共同途径。

Targeted deletion of p97 (VCP/CDC48) in mouse results in early embryonic lethality

The highly conserved AAA ATPase p97 (VCP/CDC48) has well-established roles in cell cycle progression, proteasome degradation and membrane dynamics. Gene disruption in Saccromyces cerevisiae, Drosophila melanogaster and Trypanosoma brucei demonstrated that p97 is essential in unicellular and multicellular organisms. To explore the requirement for p97 in mammalian cell function and embryogenesis, we disrupted the p97 locus by gene targeting. Heterozygous p97+/- mice were indistinguishable from their wild-type littermates, whereas homozygous mutants did not survive to birth and died at a peri-implantation stage. These results show that p97 is an essential gene for early mouse development.     

LIM-only protein FHL3 interacts with CDC25B2 phosphatase

LIM domain proteins are important regulators of the growth, determination, and differentiation of cells. In this report, FHL3 (human four-and-a-half LIM-only protein 3) is shown to interact with human phosphatase CDC25B, a cell cycle regulator involved in the control of G2/M. We found that this interaction was specific to the CDC25B2 isoform. Deletion and point mutation studies indicated that the second LIM domain of FHL3 was essential for this interaction. FRET experiments in C2C12 cells showed that, although both proteins were colocated in the cytoplasm and the nucleus, they interacted only in the nucleus. Finally, we showed that FHL3 binding impaired neither CDC25B2 phosphatase activity nor its localization. Further work is now needed to elucidate the consequences of this interaction on myoblast fate decision and cycle control.     

ZNF403，一个新的细胞周期调节因子的功能研究

ZNF403和LCRG1是人类基因ZNF403的2个不同转录剪切本.以往的研究表明LCRG1在喉癌细胞株Hep-2中具有抑瘤特性.本研究旨在探明ZNF403和LCRG1不同剪切本之间的关系以及在肿瘤细胞中对ZNF403的功能进行研究.首先,采用实时荧光定量PCR对这2个转录本的相对表达水平进行分析,结果表明,ZNF403表达水平在不同细胞株中明显高于LCRG1(>10倍),为该基因的主要转录表达产物.随后分别采用MTT细胞生长分析法和裸鼠体内成瘤实验在体外和体内对ZNF403的功能进行分析,结果显示ZNF403的基因沉默可以同时在体内和体外抑制喉癌细胞Hep-2细胞的生长.为了探明其作用机制,本研究还采用细胞信息学、流式细胞周期分析术和高通量PCR点阵分析方法进一步分析,结果表明,ZNF403的基因沉默可显著抑制细胞DNA的复制并延缓细胞周期进入到有丝分裂期.同时发现ZNF403可调节一系列的细胞周期调节蛋白如MCM2、p21、ATM、MRE11A等.综上研究提示ZNF403为一新的细胞周期调节因子,其功能的缺失与肿瘤发生发展密切相关.     

Phosphorylation of CDC25C at S263 controls its intracellular localisation

CDC25C phosphatase is a key actor in cell cycle progression that controls the activation of CDK1-cyclin B at mitosis. Its activity is known to be highly regulated by a number of signalling pathway-activated kinases resulting in its phosphorylation on multiple residues. In this study, we have purified CDC25C from cells and have used a proteomic approach to identify new regulatory phosphorylations. Here, we report the identification by mass spectrometry of a peptide monophosphorylated on serine 263. We demonstrate by cell imaging that mutation of S263 to alanine leads to a nuclear accumulation of CDC25C that is further reinforced by leptomycin-B. We propose that phosphorylation at S263 is part of the regulatory mechanism that modulates nuclear import of CDC25C, thus preventing cytoplasm to nucleus shuttling.     

Study of the docking-dependent PLK1 phosphorylation of the CDC25B phosphatase

CDC25 (A, B and C) phosphatases control cell cycle progression through the timely dephosphorylation and activation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK). At mitosis the CDC25B phosphatase activity is dependent on its phosphorylation by multiple kinases impinging on its localisation, stability and catalytic activity. Here we report that prior phosphorylation of CDC25B by CDK1 enhances its substrate properties for PLK1 in vitro, and we also show that phosphorylated S50 serves as a docking site for PLK1. Using a sophisticated strategy based on the sequential phosphorylation of CDC25B with ¹⁶O and ¹⁸O ATP prior to nanoLC–MS/MS analysis we identified 13 sites phosphorylated by PLK1. This study illustrates the complexity of the phosphorylation pattern and of the subsequent regulation of CDC25B activity.

UV-induced downregulation of the CDC25B protein in human cells

The CDC25B phosphatase regulates the activation of CDK1-Cyclin B at the onset of mitosis, being a key target of the checkpoint pathways activated by cellular stress and DNA damage. Previous work has reported that checkpoint activation induces the sequestration of CDC25B in the cytoplasm. Here we show that in response to UV irradiation, the levels of CDC25B protein can be downregulated independently of classical checkpoints pathways such as p53, ATM/ATR and p38 MAPK. We also show that translational repression mediated by eIF2α phosphorylation regulates CDC25B expression levels. Taken together, our results illustrate a new mechanism of CDC25B regulation in response to stress.
