A new model of cell cycle-regulated transcription: repression of the cyclin A promoter by CDF-1 and anti-repression by E2F

Abstract

Cell cycle regulation of the cyclin A gene is determined by a bipartite repressor binding site in the region of the basal promoter, termed CDE-CHR, which also controls the expression of cell cycle genes upregulated in S or G2 (such as cdc25C). The CDE-CHR in the cyclin A promoter is recognized by both E2F complexes and CDF-1, but the contribution of each of these factors in cell cycle regulation is unknown. In the present study, we have introduced mutations into the cyclin A promoter which lead to either a loss or enhancement of E2F binding, while having only marginal effects on the interaction with CDF-1. Unlike mutants deficient for CDF-1 binding, promoter variants lacking E2F binding showed an unchanged repression in G0, thus identifying CDF-1 as the principal repressor of the cyclin A gene. The same mutants did show, however, a delayed derepression while a mutation leading to increased E2F binding resulted in premature up-regulation. These findings clearly suggest that E2F contributes to the correct timing of cyclin A transcription, presumably by acting as an anti-repressor. In agreement with this conclusion, we find that the cyclin A promoter only poorly interacts with E2F-4, which is the major E2F family member in G0 cell...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
