Abstract

The assembly of prereplicative complex (pre-RC) during G1 phase must be tightly controlled to sustain cell proliferation and maintain genomic stability. Mechanisms to prevent pre-RC formation in G2/M and S phases are well appreciated, whereas how cells ensure efficient pre-RC assembly during G1 is less clear. Here we report that cyclin K regulates pre-RC formation. We find that cyclin K expression positively correlates with cell proliferation, and knockdown of cyclin K or its cognate kinase CDK12 prevents the assembly of pre-RC in G1 phase. Mechanistically we uncover that cyclin K promotes pre-RC assembly by restricting cyclin E1 activity in G1. We identify a cyclin K-dependent, novel phosphorylation site in cyclin E1 that disrupts its interaction with CDK2. Importantly, this antagonistic relationship is largely recapitulated in cyclin E1-overexpressing tumors. We discuss the implications of our findings in light of recent reports linking cyclin K and CDK12 to human tumorigenesis.

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.
