F-box proteins, subunits of SKP1-cullin 1-F-box protein (SCF) type of E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, have been validated to play a crucial role in governing various cellular processes such as cell cycle, cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion and metastasis. Recently, a wealth of evidence has emerged that F-box proteins is critically involved in tumorigenesis in part through governing the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of cell cycle proteins, and dysregulation of this process leads to aberrant cell cycle progression and ultimately, tumorigenesis. Therefore, in this review, we describe the critical role of F-box proteins in the timely regulation of cell cycle. Moreover, we discuss how F-box proteins involve in tumorigenesis via targeting cell cycle-related proteins using biochemistry studies, engineered mouse models, and pathological gene alternations. We conclude that inhibitors of F-box proteins could have promising therapeutic potentials in part through controlling of aberrant cell cycle progression for cancer therapies. 相似文献

F-box proteins: the key to protein degradation 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Summary The eukaryotic protein degradation pathway involves the ubiquitin (Ub) modification of substrates targeted for degradation
by the 26S proteasome. The addition of Ub, a process called ubiquitination, is mediated by enzymes including the E3 Ub ligases
which transfer the Ub to targeted substrates. A major type of E3 Ub ligases, the SCF (Skp–Cullin–F-box) complex, is composed
of four major components: Skp1, Cul1/Cdc53, Roc1/Rbx1/Hrt1, and an F-box protein. The F-box component of the SCF machineries
is responsible for recognizing different substrates for ubiquitination. Interaction with components of the SCF complex is
mediated through the F-box motif of the F-box protein while it associates with phosphorylated substrates through its second
protein–protein interaction motif such as Trp–Asp (WD) repeats or leucine-rich repeats (LRRs). By targeting diverse substrates,
F-box proteins exert controls over stability of proteins and regulate the mechanisms for a wide-range of cellular processes.
Here we discuss the importance of F-box proteins by providing a general overview and examples of how F-box proteins function
in various cellular settings such as tissue development, cell proliferation, and cell death, in the modeling organism Drosophila. 相似文献

D cyclins (D1, D2, and D3) are components of the core cell cycle machinery in mammalian cells. It is unclear whether each of the D cyclins performs unique, tissue-specific functions or the three proteins have virtually identical functions and differ mainly in their pattern of expression. We previously generated mice lacking cyclin D1, and we observed that these animals displayed hypoplastic retinas and underdeveloped mammary glands and a presented developmental neurological abnormality. We now asked whether the specific requirement for cyclin D1 in these tissues reflected a unique pattern of D cyclin expression or the presence of specialized functions for cyclin D1 in cyclin D1-dependent compartments. We generated a knock-in strain of mice expressing cyclin D2 in place of D1. Cyclin D2 was able to drive nearly normal development of retinas and mammary glands, and it partially replaced cyclin D1's function in neurological development. We conclude that the differences between these two D cyclins lie mostly in the tissue-specific pattern of their expression. However, we propose that subtle differences between the two D cyclins do exist and they may allow D cyclins to function in a highly optimized fashion. We reason that the acquisition of multiple D cyclins may allow mammalian cells to drive optimal proliferation of a diverse array of cell types. 相似文献

Cyclins D and E play critical roles during the G1 phase of mammalian cell division. Cyclin D1 expression is high and expected to play an important role during mouse brain development. However, in the present study, we found no difference in CNS morphology between cyclin D1 knockout (KO) and control wild-type mice at the ages of 1, 4 and 12 months. Analysis of protein expression in embryonic brains revealed that cyclin E is obviously increased in cyclin D1 KO mice at 13.5 days post coitum. At the same age a high level of cyclin D1 expression is detected in the embryonic brain of wild-type mice. The data indicate that enhanced cyclin E protein expression in cyclin D1 KO mice may obviate the role of cyclin D1 and contribute to the normal brain development of cyclin D1 KO mice. 相似文献

Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumor suppressor protein, together with Axin and glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK-3beta), forms a Wnt-regulated signaling complex that mediates phosphorylation-dependent degradation of cytoplasmic beta-catenin by ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis. Degradation of phosphorylated beta-catenin is initiated by interaction through the WD40-repeat of a F-box protein beta-TrCP, a component of SCF ubiquitin ligase complex. Mutations in APC, Axin, and beta-catenin that prevent down-regulation of cytoplasmic beta-catenin are found in various types of cancers. In the search for efficient treatment and prevention of malignancies associated with increased levels of cytoplasmic beta-catenin, we created chimeric F-box fusion proteins by replacing the WD40-repeat of beta-TrCP with the beta-catenin-binding domains of Tcf4 and E-cadherin. Expression of chimeric F-box fusion proteins successfully promotes degradation of beta-catenin independently of GSK-3beta-mediated phosphorylation. More importantly, this degradation does not require intact APC protein (pAPC). 相似文献

The SCF ubiquitin ligase complex consists of four components, Skp1, Cul1, ROC1/Rbx1, and a variable subunit F-box protein, which serves as a receptor for target proteins. The F-box proteins consist of an N-terminal ∼40 amino acid F-box domain that binds to Skp1 and the C-terminal substrate-binding domain. We have reported previously that Fbs1 and Fbs2 are N-linked glycoprotein-specific F-box proteins. In addition, other three F-box proteins, Fbg3, Fbg4, and Fbg5, show high homology to Fbs1 and Fbs2, but their functions remain largely unknown. Here we report that Skp1 assists in correct folding of exogenously expressed F-box proteins. Fbs2 as well as Fbg3, Fbg4, and Fbg5 proteins formed SCF complexes but did not bind to N-glycoproteins when exogenously expressed alone. However, co-expression of Fbs2 and Fbg5 with Skp1 facilitated their binding to glycoproteins that reacted with ConA. Furthermore, Skp1 increased the cellular concentrations of F-box proteins by preventing aggregate formation. These observations suggest that Skp1 plays an important role in stabilizing the conformation of these F-box proteins, which increases their expression levels and substrate-binding. 相似文献

The F-box protein SKP2 binds to the phosphorylated threonine 380 in cyclin E and regulates ubiquitin-dependent degradation of cyclin E 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Cyclin E is required for S phase entry. The subsequent ubiquitin-dependent degradation of cyclin E contributes to an orderly progression of the S phase. It has been shown that phosphorylation of threonine 380 (Thr380) in cyclin E provides a signal for its ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis. We report that SKP2, an F-box protein and a substrate-targeting component of the SCF(SKP2) ubiquitin E3 ligase complex, mediates cyclin E degradation. In vitro, SKP2 specifically interacted with the cyclin E peptide containing the phosphorylated-Thr380 but not with a cognate nonphosphorylated peptide. In vivo, expression of SKP2 induced cyclin E polyubiquitination and degradation. Conversion of Thr380 into nonphosphorylatable amino acids caused significant resistance of cyclin E to SKP2. The presence of the CDK inhibitor p27(Kip1) also prevented the SKP2-dependent degradation of cyclin E. Our findings suggest that SKP2 regulates cyclin E stability, thus contributing to the control of S phase progression. 相似文献

Plants constantly survey the surrounding environment using several sets of photoreceptors. They can sense changes in the quantity (=intensity) and quality (=wavelength) of light and use this information to adjust their physiological responses, growth, and developmental patterns. In addition to the classical photoreceptors, such as phytochromes, cryptochromes, and phototropins, ZEITLUPE (ZTL), FLAVIN-BINDING, KELCH REPEAT, F-BOX 1 (FKF1), and LOV KELCH PROTEIN 2 (LKP2) proteins have been recently identified as blue-light photoreceptors that are important for regulation of the circadian clock and photoperiodic flowering. The ZTL/FKF1/LKP2 protein family possesses a unique combination of domains: a blue-light-absorbing LOV (Light, Oxygen, or Voltage) domain along with domains involved in protein degradation. Here, we summarize recent advances in our understanding of the function of the Arabidopsis ZTL/FKF1/LKP2 proteins. We summarize the distinct photochemical properties of their LOV domains and discuss the molecular mechanisms by which the ZTL/FKF1/LKP2 proteins regulate the circadian clock and photoperiodic flowering by controlling blue-light-dependent protein degradation. 相似文献

Selective protein degradation by the ubiquitin-proteosome pathway has recently emerged as a powerful regulatory mechanism in a wide variety of cellular processes. Ubiquitin conjugation requires the sequential activity of three enzymes or protein complexes called the ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1), the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2), and the ubiquitin-protein ligase (E3). In most eukaryotes, there are a small number of similar E1 isoforms without apparent functional specificity. The specific selection of target proteins is accomplished by the E2 and E3 proteins. One of the best-characterized families of E3s are the SCF complexes. The SCF is composed of a cullin (Cdc53), SKP1, RBX1 and one member of a large family of proteins called F-box proteins. The function of the F-box protein is to interact with target proteins. In some cases, the stability of the F-box protein may regulate activity of the SCF complex. In addition, post-translational modification of the cullin subunit by the ubiquitin-like protein RUB/NEDD8 appears to regulate SCF function. In plants, the SCF has so far been implicated in floral development, circadian clock, and response to the plant growth regulators auxin and jasmonic acid. 相似文献

Differentiation-inducing factors (DIFs) are morphogens which induce cell differentiation in Dictyostelium. We reported that DIF-1 and DIF-3 inhibit proliferation and induce differentiation in mammalian cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of DIF-1 on oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines NA and SAS, well differentiated and poorly differentiated cell lines, respectively. Although DIF-1 did not induce the expression of cell differentiation makers in these cell lines, it inhibited the proliferation of NA and SAS in a dose-dependent manner by restricting the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase. DIF-1 induced cyclin D1 degradation, but this effect was prevented by treatment with lithium chloride and SB216763, the inhibitors of glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta). Depletion of endogenous GSK-3beta by RNA interference also attenuated the effect of DIF-1 on cyclin D1 degradation. Therefore, we investigated the effect of DIF-1 on GSK-3beta and found that DIF-1 dephosphorylated GSK-3beta on Ser9 and induced the nuclear translocation of GSK-3beta, suggesting that DIF-1 activated GSK-3beta. Then, we examined the effect of DIF-1 on cyclin D1 mutants (Thr286Ala, Thr288Ala, and Thr286/288Ala). We revealed that Thr286Ala and Thr286/288Ala mutants were highly resistant to DIF-1-induced degradation compared with wild-type cyclin D1, indicating that the phosphorylation of Thr286 was critical for cyclin D1 degradation induced by DIF-1. These results suggest that DIF-1 induces degradation of cyclin D1 through the GSK-3beta-mediated phosphorylation of Thr286. 相似文献

The aim of the study was an evaluation of expression of D1 cyclin and Ki-67 proteins in tissue of human papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in a group of papillary microcarcinomas and in a group of PTC with a degree of staging higher than pT1a in TNM classification. We performed immunohistochemical staining and found no statistical differences between groups. These results suggest that changes of expression of D1 cyclin are an early event in tumorigenesis. 相似文献

RNA binding proteins (RBPs) can regulate the stability and/or translatability of messengerRNAs (mRNAs) through interactions with their 3′-untranslated regions. However, individual mRNAs may be regulated simultaneously or successively by more than one RBP, as well as by Argonaute (AGO)-bound miRNAs; the coordination of these various influences on an individual mRNA is therefore complex and not well studied. In this report we examine the roles of two RBPs that bind to AU-rich elements (ARE) – AUF1 and HuR – in the stability and translation of cyclin D1 (Ccnd1) mRNA in rat myoblasts transiting the G phase of the cell cycle, and their interactions with miRNAs. Knockdown (KD) of AUF1 resulted in (1) transient upregulation of the mRNA level as well as an advancement of translation onset time (TOT) from 6 to 5 h post-serum addition, (2) loss of miRNA loading on AGO1 and AGO2 and (3) reduction in the level of AGO-1 and AGO-2 bound mRNA. In contrast, KD of HuR had no effect on the mRNA level, or on the AGO–mRNA complexes, but delayed TOT by 1 h independent of miRNA let-7. Thus the dynamics of RBP–mRNA binding and –RBP–AGO–miRNA interactions are coordinated to fine tune the expression of Ccnd1 in the G1 phase. 相似文献

The cell cycle of cultured cells appears to be regulated by opposing actions of the cyclins together with their partners, the cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdk), and their inhibitors (Cki). Consistent with this situation null mutations in the genes for cyclin D1 and Cki p27(Kip1) in mice give opposite phenotypes of dwarfism and gigantism. To test their genetic interactions, we generated mice nullizygous for both genes. Correction of cyclin D1 or p27 null to wild-type phenotypes was observed for many but not all traits. These included, for cyclin D1(-/-) mice, body weight, early lethality, retinal hypoplasia, and male aggressiveness and, for p27(-/-) mice, body weight, retinal hyperplasia, and embryo implantation. p27(-/-) traits that were not corrected were the aberrant estrus cycles, luteal cell proliferation, and susceptibility to pituitary tumors. This mutual correction of these phenotypes is the first genetic demonstration of the interaction of these inhibitory and stimulatory cell cycle-regulatory molecules in vivo. The molecular basis for the correction was analyzed in the neonatal retina. Retinal cellularity was rescued in the cyclin D1 null mouse by loss of p27 with only a partial restoration of phosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein (Rb) and Cdk4 activity but with a dramatic elevation of Cdk2 activity. Our data provide in vivo genetic validation of cell culture experiments that indicated that p27 acts as a negative regulator of cyclin E-Cdk2 activity and that it can be titrated away by cyclin D-Cdk4 complexes. It also supports the suggestion that the cyclin E/Cdk2 pathway can largely bypass Rb in regulating the cell cycle in vivo. 相似文献

This study identifies a novel mechanism by which thiazolidinediones mediate cyclin D1 repression in prostate cancer cells. Based on the finding that the thiazolidinedione family of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) agonists mediated PPARgamma-independent cyclin D1 degradation, we developed a novel PPARgamma-inactive troglitazone derivative, STG28, with high potency in cyclin D1 ablation. STG28-mediated cyclin D1 degradation was preceded by Thr-286 phosphorylation and nuclear export, which however, were independent of glycogen synthase kinase 3beta. Mutational analysis further confirmed the pivotal role of Thr-286 phosphorylation in STG28-induced nuclear export and proteolysis. Of several kinases examined, inhibition of IkappaB kinase alpha blocked STG28-mediated cytoplasmic sequestration and degradation of cyclin D1. Pulldown of ectopically expressed Cul1, the scaffold protein of the Skp-Cullin-F-box E3 ligase, in STG28-treated cells revealed an increased association of cyclin D1 with beta-TrCP, whereas no specific binding was noted with other F-box proteins examined, including Skp2, Fbw7, Fbx4, and Fbxw8. This finding represents the first evidence that cyclin D1 is targeted by beta-TrCP. Moreover, beta-TrCP expression was up-regulated in response to STG28, and ectopic expression and small interfering RNA-mediated knock-down of beta-TrCP enhanced and protected against STG28-facilitated cyclin D1 degradation, respectively. Because cyclin D1 lacks the DSG destruction motif, mutational and modeling analyses indicate that cyclin D1 was targeted by beta-TrCP through an unconventional recognition site, (279)EEVDLACpT(286), reminiscent to that of Wee1. Moreover, we obtained evidence that this beta-TrCP-dependent degradation takes part in controlling cyclin D1 turnover when cancer cells undergo glucose starvation, which endows physiological relevance to this novel mechanism. 相似文献
