Abstract

Although the role of the classic retinoic acid (RA)-induced genomic pathway in cancer cell differentiation is well recognized, the underlying mechanisms remain to be dissected. Retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARalpha) is a transcription factor activated by RA, and its serine 77 (RARalphaS77) is the main residue phosphorylated by the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)-activating kinase (CAK) complex. We report here that in both human myeloid leukemia and mouse embryonic teratocarcinoma stem cells, either RA-suppressed CAK phosphorylation of RARalpha or mutation of RARalphaS77 to alanine (RARalphaS77A) coordinates CAK-dependent G(1) arrest with cancer cell differentiation by transactivating RA-target genes. Both hypophosphorylated RARalpha and RARalphaS77A reduce binding to retinoic acid-responsive elements (RARE) in the promoters of RA-target genes while stimulating gene transcription. The enhanced transactivation and reduced RARalpha-chromatin interaction are accompanied by RARalpha dissociation from the transcriptional repressor N-CoR and are association with the coactivator NCoA-3. Such effects of decreased CAK phosphorylation of RARalphaS77 on mediating RA-dependent transcriptional control of cancer cell differentiation are examin...Continue Reading

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.

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.
