  • The Involvement of Ubiquitination Machinery in Cell Cycle Regulation and Cancer Progression
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review The Involvement of Ubiquitination Machinery in Cell Cycle Regulation and Cancer Progression Tingting Zou and Zhenghong Lin * School of Life Sciences, Chongqing University, Chongqing 401331, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The cell cycle is a collection of events by which cellular components such as genetic materials and cytoplasmic components are accurately divided into two daughter cells. The cell cycle transition is primarily driven by the activation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), which activities are regulated by the ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of key regulators such as cyclins, CDK inhibitors (CKIs), other kinases and phosphatases. Thus, the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of the cell cycle progression via recognition, interaction, and ubiquitination or deubiquitination of key proteins. The illegitimate degradation of tumor suppressor or abnormally high accumulation of oncoproteins often results in deregulation of cell proliferation, genomic instability, and cancer occurrence. In this review, we demonstrate the diversity and complexity of the regulation of UPS machinery of the cell cycle. A profound understanding of the ubiquitination machinery will provide new insights into the regulation of the cell cycle transition, cancer treatment, and the development of anti-cancer drugs.

    Review Polo-Like Kinase 1: Target and Regulator of Anaphase-Promoting Complex/Cyclosome–Dependent Proteolysis Frank Eckerdt1 and Klaus Strebhardt2 1Department of Pharmacology, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Denver, Colorado and 2Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Medical School, J.W. Goethe-University, Frankfurt, Germany Abstract to the regulation of the APC/C, an E3 ubiquitin ligase that is Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) is a key regulator of progression responsible for the timely destruction of various mitotic proteins, through mitosis. Although Plk1 seems to be dispensable for thereby regulating chromosome segregation, exit from mitosis, entry into mitosis, its role in spindle formation and exit from and a stable subsequent G1 phase (3).The APC/C is first activated by the ancillary protein Cdc20, targeting proteins containing a mitosis is crucial. Recent evidence suggests that a major role Cdc20 of Plk1 in exit from mitosis is the regulation of inhibitors of destruction box (D box), like securin.Once APC/C has the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), such as initiated mitotic exit, Cdc20 itself is degraded and is replaced by Cdh1, allowing the degradation of a wider spectrum of substrates. the early mitotic inhibitor 1 (Emi1) and spindle checkpoint Cdh1 proteins. Thus, Plk1 and the APC/C control mitotic regulators The APC/C complex targets not only D box–containing proteins but also proteins exhibiting a KEN box and/or an A box by both phosphorylation and targeted ubiquitylation to Cdh1 ensure the fidelity of chromosome separation at the meta- (e.g., cyclin B1 and Aurora A).

It has become apparent, however, that the APC/C, particularly when acting in concert with its Cdh1 co-activator (APC/CCdh1), executes a staggeringly diverse repertoire of functions that extend its remit well outside the bounds of mitosis. Findings over the past decade have not only earmarked mammalian oocyte maturation as one such case in point but have also begun to reveal a complex pattern of APC/C regulation that underpins many of the oocyte’s unique developmental attributes. This review will encompass the latest findings pertinent to the APC/C, especially APC/CCdh1, in mammalian oocytes and how its activity and substrates shape the stop–start tempo of female mammalian first meiotic division and the challenging requirement for assembling spindles in the absence of centrosomes.

  • 1 Spindle Assembly Checkpoint Is Sufficient for Complete Cdc20
    Spindle assembly checkpoint is sufficient for complete Cdc20 sequestering in mitotic control Bashar Ibrahim Bio System Analysis Group, Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, and Jena Centre for Bioinformatics (JCB), 07743 Jena, Germany Email: [email protected] Abstract The spindle checkpoint assembly (SAC) ensures genome fidelity by temporarily delaying anaphase onset, until all chromosomes are properly attached to the mitotic spindle. The SAC delays mitotic progression by preventing activation of the ubiquitin ligase anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C) or cyclosome; whose activation by Cdc20 is required for sister-chromatid separation marking the transition into anaphase. The mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC), which contains Cdc20 as a subunit, binds stably to the APC/C. Compelling evidence by Izawa and Pines (Nature 2014; 10.1038/nature13911) indicates that the MCC can inhibit a second Cdc20 that has already bound and activated the APC/C. Whether or not MCC per se is sufficient to fully sequester Cdc20 and inhibit APC/C remains unclear. Here, a dynamic model for SAC regulation in which the MCC binds a second Cdc20 was constructed. This model is compared to the MCC, and the MCC-and-BubR1 (dual inhibition of APC) core model variants and subsequently validated with experimental data from the literature. By using ordinary nonlinear differential equations and spatial simulations, it is shown that the SAC works sufficiently to fully sequester Cdc20 and completely inhibit APC/C activity. This study highlights the principle that a systems biology approach is vital for molecular biology and could also be used for creating hypotheses to design future experiments. Keywords: Mathematical biology, Spindle assembly checkpoint; anaphase promoting complex, MCC, Cdc20, systems biology 1 Introduction Faithful DNA segregation, prior to cell division at mitosis, is vital for maintaining genomic integrity.

  • Bub1 Positions Mad1 Close to KNL1 MELT Repeats to Promote Checkpoint Signalling
    ARTICLE Received 14 Dec 2016 | Accepted 3 May 2017 | Published 12 June 2017 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms15822 OPEN Bub1 positions Mad1 close to KNL1 MELT repeats to promote checkpoint signalling Gang Zhang1, Thomas Kruse1, Blanca Lo´pez-Me´ndez1, Kathrine Beck Sylvestersen1, Dimitriya H. Garvanska1, Simone Schopper1, Michael Lund Nielsen1 & Jakob Nilsson1 Proper segregation of chromosomes depends on a functional spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) and requires kinetochore localization of the Bub1 and Mad1/Mad2 checkpoint proteins. Several aspects of Mad1/Mad2 kinetochore recruitment in human cells are unclear and in particular the underlying direct interactions. Here we show that conserved domain 1 (CD1) in human Bub1 binds directly to Mad1 and a phosphorylation site exists in CD1 that stimulates Mad1 binding and SAC signalling. Importantly, fusion of minimal kinetochore-targeting Bub1 fragments to Mad1 bypasses the need for CD1, revealing that the main function of Bub1 is to position Mad1 close to KNL1 MELTrepeats. Furthermore, we identify residues in Mad1 that are critical for Mad1 functionality, but not Bub1 binding, arguing for a direct role of Mad1 in the checkpoint. This work dissects functionally relevant molecular interactions required for spindle assembly checkpoint signalling at kinetochores in human cells. 1 The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Blegdamsvej 3B, 2200 Copenhagen, Denmark.

An inverse correlation of C/ subunit of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), which EBPδ and cyclin D1 protein expression was also observed in MEFs results in the polyubiquitination and degradation of the prooncogenic from wild-type and Cebpd null mice (Fig. S1A). Next, we tested the cell cycle regulator cyclin D1, and also down-regulates cyclin B1, Skp2, role of target gene regulation by introducing an R198A mutation andPlk-1.InC/EBPδ knockout mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEF) Cdc27 into the DNA binding domain (C/EBPδ-R198A), which does levels were reduced, whereas cyclin D1 levels were increased even in not affect nuclear localization (17) but prevents DNA binding of the presence of activated GSK-3β.

  • Lte1 Promotes Mitotic Exit by Controlling the Localization of the Spindle Position Checkpoint Kinase Kin4
    Lte1 promotes mitotic exit by controlling the localization of the spindle position checkpoint kinase Kin4 Jill E. Falk1, Leon Y. Chan1,2, and Angelika Amon3 David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139 This contribution is part of the special series of Inaugural Articles by members of the National Academy of Sciences elected in 2010. Contributed by Angelika Amon, May 17, 2011 (sent for review April 27, 2011) For a daughter cell to receive a complete genomic complement, it is The work by Adames et al. (13) proposed a model in which essential that the mitotic spindle be positioned accurately within the interactions between microtubules and the bud neck inhibit the cell. In budding yeast, a signaling system known as the spindle MEN, but how this could lead to Kin4 activation, if indeed Kin4 is position checkpoint (SPOC) monitors spindle position and regulates activated by spindle misposition, is not known. We previously the activity of the mitotic exit network (MEN), a GTPase signaling proposed a model termed the zone model, which posits that the pathway that promotes exit from mitosis. The protein kinase Kin4 budding yeast cell is divided into a MEN inhibitory zone in the is a central component of the spindle position checkpoint. Kin4 mother cell and a MEN activating zone in the daughter cell and primarily localizes to the mother cell and associates with spindle that a sensor, the GTPase Tem1, moves between them. Tem1 as well as most other components of the MEN reside at pole bodies (SPBs) located in the mother cell to inhibit MEN spindle pole bodies (SPBs; yeast centrosomes).

Based on computational Available online 22 August 2009 modeling, we proposed that the low and the high kinase activity states are alternative stable steady Edited by Johan Elf states of a bistable Cdk-control system. Bistability is a consequence of system-level feedback (posi- tive and double-negative feedback signals) in the underlying control system. We have also argued that bistability underlies irreversible transitions between low and high Cdk activity states and Keywords: Cell cycle thereby ensures directionality of cell cycle progression.
