Cell Cycle = round of chromosomal replication in S phase followed by segregation of the replicated chromosomes into two daughter nuclei during M phase. G2 / M phase transition is performed by a protein kinase conserved throughout eukaryotes MPF - protein kinase catalytic subunit p34 cdc2

G2 / M phase transition is performed by a protein kinase conserved throughout eukaryotes MPF - protein kinase catalytic subunit p34 cdc2 - B-type cyclin
RESTRICTION POINT Cells no longer require presence of serum to commit themselves to initiating DNA replication
Uncontrolled cell proliferation requires multi-step gene damage eg gain of function of oncogenes (accelerator) and loss of function of tumour suppressors (brakes) Oncogene Tumour suppressor CYCLINS CDKI

Viral Targeting of pRb T Ag HPVE7pRB E1A
INACTIVATION OF pRB in TUMORS • retinoblastoma • small-cell lung cancer • soft tissue sarcoma • glioblastoma • breast cancer • bladder carcinoma
CDK-CYCLIN COMPLEXES • Intrinsically inactive catalytic subunit (CDK) • Positive regulatory subunit (cyclin) • Phosphorylation of conserved threonine residue
CDK-ACTIVATING KINASE • phosphorylates cyclin-bound CDK on threonine • multisubunit enzyme with catalytic subunit (CDK7) and regulatory subunit (cyclin H) • invariant throughout cell cycle
CYCLIN D • 3 Cyclin D genes • synthesised by mid-G1 phase and maximum at G1/S boundary • stimulated by growth factors • promote catalytic activity of CDK4 and CDK6
CYCLIN E • synthesis at late G1 phase • complexes with CDK2 • ectopic overproduction contracts G1, reduces cell size and decreases cellular dependency on mitogenic growth factors

INK4 CDKI • specifically target CDK’s • INK4 proteins sequester cdk4/6 into complexes liberating cip/kip proteins • ability to arrest in G1 dependent on intact pRb
Cip/Kip CDKI • p21= waf1=Sdi1 inhibits cyclin/CDK function through cell cycle • p27kip1 bound to cyclin/CDK4;
CELL CYCLE GENE ALTERATIONS IN CANCER • pRb deletion / mutation • p16 deletion / mutation • p27 inactivation (methylation) • cyclin D1 overexpression • cyclin E overexpression • CDK4 overexpression
