Oncogenic activation of a human cyclin A2 targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum upon hepatitis B virus genome insertion

Abstract

Cyclins are major cell cycle regulators which role in malignant transformation remains controversial. In this report we describe a new mechanism of cyclin oncogenic activation. We demonstrate that an altered form of cyclin A2 (S2A) which N-terminal part is replaced by the hepatitis B virus envelope protein transforms normal rat kidney cells and cooperates with ras to transform rat embryo fibroblasts. In contrast, neither the viral moiety, nor a full length or N-terminally deleted cyclin A2 show these oncogenic properties. S2A oncogenicity arises from its binding to cyclin dependent kinases, since mutation in the MRAIL sequence abolishes transformation and correlates with an abnormal cellular localization in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Together, these results implicate modification in the cellular distribution of a cell cycle regulator as a mechanism of virally-induced transformation.

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.

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.
