Progression through the cell cycle relies on oscillation of cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) activity. One mechanism for downregulating Cdk signaling is to activate opposing phosphatases. The Cdc14 family of phosphatases counteracts Cdk1 phosphorylation in diverse organisms to allow proper exit from mitosis and cytokinesis. However, the role of the vertebrate CDC14 phosphatases, CDC14A and CDC14B, in re-setting the cell for interphase remains unclear. To understand Cdc14 function in vertebrates, we cloned the zebrafish cdc14b gene and used antisense morpholino oligonucleotides and an insertional mutation to inhibit its function during early development. Loss of Cdc14B function led to an array of phenotypes, including hydrocephaly, curved body, kidney cysts and left-right asymmetry defects, reminiscent of zebrafish mutants with defective cilia. Indeed, we report that motile and primary cilia were shorter in cdc14b-deficient embryos. We also demonstrate that Cdc14B function in ciliogenesis requires its phosphatase activity and can be dissociated from its function in cell cycle control. Finally, we propose that Cdc14B plays a role in the regulation of cilia length in a pathway independent of fibroblast growth factor (FGF). This first study of a loss of function of a Cdc14 family member in a vertebrate organism reveals a new role for Cdc14B in ciliogenesis and consequently in a number of developmental processes. 相似文献

Activity of novel Cdc25 inhibitors and preliminary evaluation of their potentiation of chemotherapeutic drugs in human breast cancer cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Dual-specific phosphatases Cdc25 play a critical role in the cell cycle regulation by activating kinases of Cdk/cyclin complexes. Three Cdc25 isoforms (A, B and C) have been identified in mammalians. Cdc25A and B display oncogenic properties and are over-expressed in different tumors. Cdc25 phosphatases are therefore attractive targets for therapeutic strategies. Novel maleic anhydride derivatives bearing a fatty acid chain of variable size have been synthesized and tested for their Cdc25 inhibitory potential using an in vitro assay. We report biological activity of ineffective, moderate, and efficient inhibitors on breast cancer cells (MCF7) and its counterpart resistant to vincristine (Vcr-R). The most potent compounds induced Cdk2 inhibition and accumulation in G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Moreover, apoptosis was triggered within 48-h treatment, without oxidative burst and modulation of the Bax to Bcl-2 ratio. When used as pre-treatments, these derivatives were also able to potentiate adriamycin and cisplatin toxicity in both cell lines. Thus, maleic anhydride derivatives may mediate apoptosis through a cell cycle blockage via inhibition of Cdc25. This class of inhibitors may present potential interest in therapeutic strategies against cancer. 相似文献

Cdc25B is a dual specificity phosphatase involved in the control of cyclin-dependent kinases and the progression of cells through the cell cycle. A series of minimal domain Cdc25B constructs maintaining catalytic activity have been expressed. The structure of a minimum domain construct binding sulfate was determined at 1.9 A resolution and a temperature of 100 K. Other forms of the same co?nstruct were determined at lower resolution and room temperature. The overall folding and structure of the domain is similar to that found for Cdc25A. An important difference between the two is that the Cdc25B domain binds oxyanions in the catalytic site while that of Cdc25A appears unable to bind oxyanions. There are also important conformational differences in the C-terminal region. In Cdc25B, both sulfate and tungstate anions are shown to bind in the catalytic site containing the signature motif (HCxxxxxR) in a conformation similar to that of other protein tyrosine phosphatases and dual specificity phosphatases, with the exception of the Cdc25A. The Cdc25B constructs, with various truncations of the C-terminal residues, are shown to have potent catalytic activity. When cut back to the site at which the Cdc25A structure begins to deviate from the Cdc25B structure, the activity is considerably less. There is a pocket extending from the catalytic site to an anion-binding site containing a chloride about 14 A away. The catalytic cysteine residue, Cys473, can be oxidized to form a disulfide linkage to Cys426. A readily modifiable cysteine residue, Cys484, resides in another pocket that binds a sulfate but not in the signature motif conformation. This region of the structure is highly conserved between the Cdc25 molecules and could serve some unknown function. 相似文献

Cdc14-family phosphatases play a conserved role in promoting mitotic exit and cytokinesis by dephosphorylating substrates of cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk). Cdc14-family phosphatases have been best studied in yeast (for review, see [1, 2]), where budding yeast Cdc14 and its fission yeast homolog Clp1 are regulated partly by their localization; both proteins are thought to be sequestered in the nucleolus in interphase. Cdc14 and Clp1 are released from the nucleolus in mitosis, and in late mitosis conserved signaling pathways termed the mitotic exit network (MEN) and the septation initiation network (SIN) keeps Cdc14 and Clp1, respectively, out of the nucleolus through an unknown mechanism [3-6]. Here we show that the most downstream SIN component, the Ndr-family kinase Sid2, maintains Clp1 in the cytoplasm in late mitosis by phosphorylating Clp1 directly and thereby creating binding sites for the 14-3-3 protein Rad24. Mutation of the Sid2 phosphorylation sites on Clp1 disrupts the Clp1-Rad24 interaction and causes Clp1 to return prematurely to the nucleolus during cytokinesis. Loss of Clp1 from the cytoplasm in telophase renders cells sensitive to perturbation of the actomyosin ring but does not affect other Clp1 functions. Because all components of this pathway are conserved, this might be a broadly conserved mechanism for regulation of Cdc14-family phosphatases. 相似文献

Budding and fission yeast Cdc14 homologues, a conserved family of serine-threonine phosphatases, play a role in the inactivation of mitotic cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) by molecularly distinct mechanisms. Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cdc14 protein phosphatase inactivates CDKs by promoting mitotic cyclin degradation and the accumulation of a CDK inhibitor to allow budding yeast cells to exit from mitosis. Schizosaccharomyces pombe Flp1 phosphatase down-regulates CDK/cyclin activity, controlling the degradation of the Cdc25 tyrosine phosphatase for fission yeast cells to undergo cytokinesis. In the present work, we show that human Cdc14 homologues (hCdc14A and hCdc14B) rescued flp1-deficient fission yeast strains, indicating functional homology. We also show that hCdc14A and B interacted in vivo with S. pombe Cdc25 and that hCdc14A dephosphorylated this mitotic inducer both in vitro and in vivo. Our results support a Cdc14 conserved inhibitory mechanism acting on S. pombe Cdc25 protein and suggest that human cells may regulate Cdc25 in a similar manner to inactivate Cdk1-mitotic cyclin complexes. 相似文献

Progression through mitosis requires the coordinated regulation of Cdk1 kinase activity. Activation of Cdk1 is a multistep process comprising binding of Cdk1 to cyclin B, relocation of cyclin-kinase complexes to the nucleus, activating phosphorylation of Cdk1 on Thr161 by the Cdk-activating kinase (CAK; Cdk7 in metazoans), and removal of inhibitory Thr14 and Tyr15 phosphorylations. This dephosphorylation is catalyzed by the dual specific Cdc25 phosphatases, which occur in three isoforms in mammalian cells, Cdc25A, -B, and -C. We find that expression of Cdc25A leads to an accelerated G2/M phase transition. In Cdc25A-overexpressing cells, Cdk1 exhibits high kinase activity despite being phosphorylated on Tyr15. In addition, Tyr15-phosphorylated Cdk1 binds more cyclin B in Cdc25A-overexpressing cells compared with control cells. Consistent with this observation, we demonstrate that in human transformed cells, Cdc25A and Cdc25B, but not Cdc25C phosphatases have an effect on timing and efficiency of cyclin-kinase complex formation. Overexpression of Cdc25A or Cdc25B promotes earlier assembly and activation of Cdk1-cyclin B complexes, whereas repression of these phosphatases by short hairpin RNA has a reverse effect, leading to a substantial decrease in amounts of cyclin B-bound Cdk1 in G2 and mitosis. Importantly, we find that Cdc25A overexpression leads to an activation of Cdk7 and increase in Thr161 phosphorylation of Cdk1. In conclusion, our data suggest that complex assembly and dephosphorylation of Cdk1 at G2/M is tightly coupled and regulated by Cdc25 phosphatases. 相似文献

Normal cell cycle and checkpoint responses in mice and cells lacking Cdc25B and Cdc25C protein phosphatases 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The Cdc25 family of protein phosphatases positively regulates cell division by activating cyclin-dependent protein kinases (CDKs). In humans and rodents, there are three Cdc25 family members--denoted Cdc25A, Cdc25B, and Cdc25C--that can be distinguished based on their subcellular compartmentalizations, their abundances and/or activities throughout the cell cycle, the CDKs that they target for activation, and whether they are overexpressed in human cancers. In addition, murine forms of Cdc25 exhibit distinct patterns of expression throughout development and in adult tissues. These properties suggest that individual Cdc25 family members contribute distinct biological functions in embryonic and adult cell cycles of mammals. Interestingly, mice with Cdc25C disrupted are healthy, and cells derived from these mice exhibit normal cell cycles and checkpoint responses. Cdc25B-/- mice are also generally normal (although females are sterile), and cells derived from Cdc25B-/- mice have normal cell cycles. Here we report that mice lacking both Cdc25B and Cdc25C are obtained at the expected Mendelian ratios, indicating that Cdc25B and Cdc25C are not required for mouse development or mitotic entry. Furthermore, cell cycles, DNA damage responses, and Cdc25A regulation are normal in cells lacking Cdc25B and Cdc25C. These findings indicate that Cdc25A, or possibly other phosphatases, is able to functionally compensate for the loss of Cdc25B and Cdc25C in mice. 相似文献

The serine/threonine kinase PAK4 is an effector molecule for the Rho GTPase Cdc42. PAK4 differs from other members of the PAK family in both sequence and function. Previously we have shown that an important function of this kinase is to mediate the induction of filopodia in response to activated Cdc42. Since previous characterization of PAK4 was carried out only with the wild-type kinase, we have generated a constitutively active mutant of the kinase to determine whether it has other functions. Expression of activated PAK4 in fibroblasts led to a transient induction of filopodia, which is consistent with its role as an effector for Cdc42. In addition, use of the activated mutant revealed a number of other important functions of this kinase that were not revealed by studying the wild-type kinase. For example, activated PAK4 led to the dissolution of stress fibers and loss of focal adhesions. Consequently, cells expressing activated PAK4 had a defect in cell spreading onto fibronectin-coated surfaces. Most importantly, fibroblasts expressing activated PAK4 had a morphology that was characteristic of oncogenic transformation. These cells were anchorage independent and formed colonies in soft agar, similar to what has been observed previously in cells expressing activated Cdc42. Consistent with this, dominant-negative PAK4 mutants inhibited focus formation by oncogenic Dbl, an exchange factor for Rho family GTPases. These results provide the first demonstration that a PAK family member can transform cells and indicate that PAK4 may play an essential role in oncogenic transformation by the GTPases. We propose that the morphological changes and changes in cell adhesion induced by PAK4 may play a direct role in oncogenic transformation by Rho family GTPases and their exchange factors. 相似文献

Cdc25B and Cdc25C are closely related dual specificity phosphatases that activate cyclin-dependent kinases by removal of inhibitory phosphorylations, thereby triggering entry into mitosis. Cdc25B, but not Cdc25C, has been implicated as an oncogene and been shown to be overexpressed in a variety of human tumors. Surprisingly, ectopic expression of Cdc25B, but not Cdc25C, inhibits cell proliferation in long term assays. Chimeric proteins generated from the two phosphatases show that the anti-proliferative activity is associated with the C-terminal end of Cdc25B. Indeed, the catalytic domain of Cdc25B is sufficient to suppress cell viability in a manner partially dependent upon its C-terminal 26 amino acids that is shown to influence substrate binding. Mutation analysis demonstrates that both the phosphatase activity of Cdc25B as well as its ability to interact with its substrates contribute to the inhibition of cell proliferation. These results demonstrate key differences in the biological activities of Cdc25B and Cdc25C caused by differential substrate affinity and recognition. This also argues that the antiproliferative activity of Cdc25B needs to be overcome for it to act as an oncogene during tumorigenesis. 相似文献

The Cdc14 family of serine-threonine phosphatases antagonizes CDK activity by reversing CDK-dependent phosphorylation events. It is well established that the yeast members of this family bring about the M/G1 transition. Budding yeast Cdc14 is essential for CDK inactivation at the end of mitosis and fission yeast Cdc14 homologue Flp1/Clp1 down-regulates Cdc25 to ensure the inactivation of mitotic CDK complexes to trigger cell division. However, the functions of human Cdc14 homologues remain poorly understood. Here we have tested the hypothesis that Cdc14A might regulate Cdc25 mitotic inducers in human cells. We found that increasing levels of Cdc14A delay entry into mitosis by inhibiting Cdk1-cyclin B1 activity. By contrast, lowering the levels of Cdc14A accelerates mitotic entry. Biochemical analyses revealed that Cdc14A acts through key Cdk1-cyclin B1 regulators. We observed that Cdc14A directly bound to and dephosphorylated Cdc25B, inhibiting its catalytic activity. Cdc14A also regulated the activity of Cdc25A at the G2/M transition. Our results indicate that Cdc14A phosphatase prevents premature activation of Cdk1 regulating Cdc25A and Cdc25B at the entry into mitosis. 相似文献

Divisions of the genetic material and cytoplasm are coordinated spatially and temporally to ensure genome integrity. This coordination is mediated in part by the major cell cycle regulator cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk1). Cdk1 activity peaks during mitosis, but during mitotic exit/cytokinesis Cdk1 activity is reduced, and phosphorylation of its substrates is reversed by various phosphatases including Cdc14, PP1, PP2A, and PP2B. Cdk1 is known to phosphorylate several components of the actin- and myosin-based cytokinetic ring (CR) that mediates division of yeast and animal cells. Here we show that Cdk1 also phosphorylates the Schizosaccharomyces pombe CR component paxillin Pxl1. We determined that both the Cdc14 phosphatase Clp1 and the PP1 phosphatase Dis2 contribute to Pxl1 dephosphorylation at mitotic exit, but PP2B/calcineurin does not. Preventing Pxl1 phosphorylation by Cdk1 results in increased Pxl1 levels, precocious Pxl1 recruitment to the division site, and increased duration of CR constriction. In vitro Cdk1-mediated phosphorylation of Pxl1 inhibits its interaction with the F-BAR domain of the cytokinetic scaffold Cdc15, thereby disrupting a major mechanism of Pxl1 recruitment. Thus, Pxl1 is a novel substrate through which S. pombe Cdk1 and opposing phosphatases coordinate mitosis and cytokinesis. 相似文献

We show that human Cdc14A phosphatase interacts with interphase centrosomes, and that this interaction is independent of microtubules and Cdc14A phosphatase activity, but requires active nuclear export. Disrupting the nuclear export signal (NES) led to Cdc14A being localized in nucleoli, which in unperturbed cells selectively contain Cdc14B (ref. 1). Conditional overproduction of Cdc14A, but not its phosphatase-dead or NES-deficient mutants, or Cdc14B, resulted in premature centrosome splitting and formation of supernumerary mitotic spindles. In contrast, downregulation of endogenous Cdc14A by short inhibitory RNA duplexes (siRNA) induced mitotic defects including impaired centrosome separation and failure to undergo productive cytokinesis. Consequently, both overexpression and downregulation of Cdc14A caused aberrant chromosome partitioning into daughter cells. These results indicate that Cdc14A is a physiological regulator of the centrosome duplication cycle, which, when disrupted, can lead to genomic instability in mammalian cells. 相似文献

We have recently demonstrated that negative regulation of human Cdc25 protein phosphatases by phosphorylation at their 14-3-3 site can be antagonized through phosphorylation at an adjacent site in the -2 position.1 Based on structural homology for different Cdc25 phosphatases, a similar regulatory pathway also could be conserved in Xenopus embryos, where cell cycle checkpoints are not operational prior to the Midblastula Transition (MBT). Here, we demonstrate that before MBT, XeCdc25C is phosphorylated on Ser285, an analogous site to Ser214 in human Cdc25C or Ser307 in Cdc25B.1 Phosphorylation of Ser285 prevents subsequent inhibitory phosphorylation of XeCdc25C on Ser287, thus maintaining XeCdc25C in an active form. Mutation of Ser285 to alanine allows the reconstitution of a DNA damage replication checkpoint. This effect is completely dependent on Ser287 phosphorylation as additional mutation of Ser287 to alanine fully reversed the cell cycle inhibitory effect of Ser285A XeCdc25C. We propose that phosphorylation of XeCdc25C Ser285 may account for the lack of a DNA replication checkpoint in cleaving Xenopus embryos prior to the MBT. 相似文献

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein (pX) is implicated in hepatocarcinogenesis of chronically infected HBV patients. To understand mechanism(s) of pX-mediated cellular transformation, we employed two tetracycline-regulated, pX-expressing cell lines, constructed in AML12 immortalized hepatocytes: one a differentiated (3pX-1) and the other a de-differentiated (4pX-1) hepatocyte cell line. Only 3pX-1 cells undergo pX-mediated transformation, via sustained Ras-Raf-mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway activation. pX-nontransforming 4pX-1 cells display sustained, pX-dependent JNK pathway activation. To understand how pX mediates different growth characteristics in 3pX-1 and 4pX-1 cells, we report, herein, comparative cell cycle analyses. pX-transforming 3pX-1 cells display pX-dependent G(1), S, and G(2)/M progression evidenced by cyclin D(1), A, and B(1) induction, and Cdc2 kinase activation. pX-nontransforming 4pX-1 cells display pX-dependent G(1) and S phase entry, followed by S phase pause and absence of Cdc2 kinase activation. Interestingly, 4pX-1 cells exhibit selective pX-induced expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21(Cip1), tumor suppressor p19(ARF), and proapoptotic genes bax and IGFBP-3. Despite the pX-mediated induction of growth arrest and apoptotic genes and the absence of pX-dependent Cdc2 activation, 4pX-1 cells do not undergo pX-dependent G(2)/M arrest or apoptosis. Nocodazole-treated, G(2)/M-arrested 4pX-1 cells exhibit pX-dependent formation of multinucleated cells, similar to human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I Tax-expressing cells. We propose that in 4pX-1 cells, pX deregulates the G(2)/M checkpoint, thus rescuing cells from pX-mediated apoptosis. 相似文献

The activity of Cdk1–cyclin B1 mitotic complexes is regulated by the balance between the counteracting activities of Wee1/Myt1 kinases and Cdc25 phosphatases. These kinases and phosphatases must be strictly regulated to ensure proper mitotic timing. One masterpiece of this regulatory network is Cdk1, which promotes Cdc25 activity and suppresses inhibitory Wee1/Myt1 kinases through direct phosphorylation. The Cdk1-dependent phosphorylation of Wee1 primes phosphorylation by additional kinases such as Plk1, triggering Wee1 degradation at the onset of mitosis. Here we report that Cdc14A plays an important role in the regulation of Wee1 stability. Depletion of Cdc14A results in a significant reduction in Wee1 protein levels. Cdc14A binds to Wee1 at its amino-terminal domain and reverses CDK-mediated Wee1 phosphorylation. In particular, we found that Cdc14A inhibits Wee1 degradation through the dephosphorylation of Ser-123 and Ser-139 residues. Thus the lack of phosphorylation of these two residues prevents the interaction with Plk1 and the consequent efficient Wee1 degradation at the onset of mitosis. These data support the hypothesis that Cdc14A counteracts Cdk1–cyclin B1 activity through Wee1 dephosphorylation. 相似文献

The adenovirus type 12 mutants in700 and pm700 carry site-specific mutations within the reading frame encoding the E1B 19-kilodalton protein (19K protein) which prevent the production of the intact 19K protein. In cultures of human A549 cells, these mutants grow just as well as the wild-type virus does, but they display a large-plaque (lp), cytocidal (cyt) phenotype. DNA in these infected cells is not degraded, but at late times in human KB cells infected by the mutants, the mutants display a DNA degradation (deg) phenotype. The transformation phenotype of these mutants is also host range. Although the mutants are defective for transformation of the 3Y1 rat cell line, they transform rat and mouse primary kidney cells in vitro at wild-type efficiency and are capable of inducing tumors in rats. These results support the view that the type 12 E1B 19K protein is not obligatory for oncogenic transformation. 相似文献
