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 - B-type cyclin
G2 / M phase transition is performed by a protein kinase conserved throughout eukaryotes MPF - protein kinase catalytic subunit p34 cdc2 - B-type cyclin i.e a kinase and a cyclin
RESTRICTION POINT Cells no longer require presence of serum to commit themselves to initiating DNA replication
RESTRICTION POINT Cells no longer require presence of serum to commit themselves to initiating DNA replication THE RESTRICTION POINT IS ABROGATED IN CANCER
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
ONCOGENES when activated override brakes to cell cycle progression Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinase ( cyclin D1, CDK4)
Tumour suppressor genes when disabled allow accelerated cell cycle progression Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (p16, pRB)

Viral Targeting of pRb T Ag HPVE7pRB E1A
INACTIVATION OF pRB in TUMORS • Retinoblastoma (two- hit) • small-cell lung cancer • soft tissue sarcoma • glioblastoma • breast cancer • bladder carcinoma
Inactivation of pRB by deletion, mutation, phosphorylation results in increased ‘free’ E2F Proliferation E2FApoptosis
CDK-CYCLIN COMPLEXES • Intrinsically inactive catalytic subunit (CDK) • Positive regulatory subunit (cyclin) • Phosphorylation of conserved threonine residue
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 • Major substrate is retinoblastoma protein • Cells lacking pRb do not require cyclin D1 activation
CYCLIN E • synthesis at late G1 phase • complexes with CDK2
CYCLIN-DEPENDENT KINASE INHIBITORS p21cip1 CIP/KIP p27kip1 p57kip2 p16INK4a p15INK4b INK4 p18INK4c p19INK4d
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 • p16 and p19 alternative transcripts • p16 • familial malignant melanoma • ectopic expression results in G1 arrest
cell cycle arrest
Cip/Kip CDKI • p21= waf1=Sdi1 inhibits cyclin/CDK function through cell cycle
Cip/Kip CDKI • p21= waf1=Sdi1 inhibits cyclin/CDK function through cell cycle • universally inhibits cdks
Cip/Kip CDKI • p21= waf1=Sdi1 inhibits cyclin/CDK function through cell cycle • universally inhibits cdks • activated by p53 -critical in induction of cell cycle arrest
CELL CYCLE GENE ALTERATIONS IN CANCER • pRb deletion / mutation • p16 deletion / mutation
CELL CYCLE GENE ALTERATIONS IN CANCER • pRb deletion / mutation • p16 deletion / mutation • p27 inactivation (methylation)
CELL CYCLE GENE ALTERATIONS IN CANCER • pRb deletion / mutation • p16 deletion / mutation • p27 inactivation (methylation) • cyclin D1 overexpression • cyclin E overexpression • CDK4 overexpression
