Repression of transcription of the p27(Kip1) cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor gene by c-Myc

Abstract

Upon engagement of the B Cell Receptor (BCR) of WEHI 231 immature B cells, a drop in c-Myc expression is followed by activation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CKI) p27(Kip1), which induces growth arrest and apoptosis. Here, we report inverse patterns of p27 and c-Myc protein expression follow BCR engagement. We present evidence demonstrating, for the first time, that the p27(Kip1) gene is a target of transcriptional repression by c-Myc. Specifically, the changes in p27 protein levels correlated with changes in p27 mRNA levels, and gene transcription. Induction of p27 promoter activity followed BCR engagement of WEHI 231 cells, and this induction could be repressed upon co-transfection of a c-Myc expression vector. Inhibition of the TATA-less p27 promoter by c-Myc was also observed in Jurkat T cells, vascular smooth muscle, and Hs578T breast cancer cells, extending the observation beyond immune cells. Consistent with a putative Inr element CCAGACC (where +1 is underlined) at the start site of transcription in the p27 promoter, deletion of Myc homology box II reduced the extent of repression. Furthermore, enhanced repression was observed upon transfection of the c-Myc 'super-repressor', with mutation of Phe115 to Leu. ...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
