Activation of the phosphatase activity of human cdc25A by a cdk2-cyclin E dependent phosphorylation at the G1/S transition

Abstract

Progression through the cell cycle is monitored at two major points: during the G1/S and the G2/M transitions. In most cells, the G2/M transition is regulated by the timing of p34cdc2 dephosphorylation which results in the activation of the kinase activity of the cdc2-cyclin B complex. The timing of p34cdc2 dephosphorylation is determined by the balance between the activity of the kinase that phosphorylates p34cdc2 (wee1 in human cells) and the opposing phosphatase (cdc25C). Both enzymes are regulated and it has been shown that cdc25C is phosphorylated and activated by the cdc2-cyclin B complex. This creates a positive feed-back loop providing a switch used to control the onset of mitosis. Here, we show that another member of the human cdc25 family, cdc25A, undergoes phosphorylation during S phase, resulting in an increase of its phosphatase activity. The phosphorylation of cdc25A is dependent on the activity of the cdc2-cyclin E kinase. Microinjection of anti-cdc25A antibodies into G1 cells blocks entry into S phase. These results indicate that the cdc25A phosphatase is required to enter S phase in human cells and suggest that this enzyme is part of an auto-amplification loop analogous to that described at the G2/M transition....Continue Reading

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
