Gradual evolution of cell cycle regulation by cyclin-dependant kinases during the transition to animal multicellularity

ABSTRACT: We assessed temporal gene expression in synchronous cultures of Capsaspora owczarzaki in order to better understand cell cycle regulation in another opisthokont more closely related to animals retaining the ancestral toolkit of cell cycle regulators. Our data suggests that cell cycle regulation in the ancestor of Capsaspora and animals involved one single CDK binding to multiple cyclins of subfamilies in the same temporal order as in animals, and that expansion of CDKs occured later in the lineage that gave rise to animals.

Cyclin-dependant kinase (CDK) orders the cell cycle via substrate specific thresholds

Project description:The appropriate ordering of the cell cycle events in eukaryoates is thought to be brought about by qualitative differences in the substrate specificity of multiple differentially expression Cyclin-CDK complexes. Our analysis of fission yeast supports an alternative quantitative model. Here we report a phosphoproteomics based global analysis of CDK substrate phosphorylation. We show that the phosphorylation of different CDK substrates is precisely ordered during the cell cycle by a single Cyclin-CDK complex. This is achieved by the differential sensitivity of substrates to a progressively rising CDK-to-phosphatase activity ratio, with early-phosphorylated substrates more sensitive to CDK activity than late substrates. This is combined with a rapid substrate phosphorylation turnover to generate clearly resolved substrate-specific thresholds, which in turn ensures the temporal ordering of downstream cell cycle events. These observations can also explain the major genetic redundancies between different cyclins and CDKs in higher eukaryotes.

Cell Cycle-Targeting MicroRNAs as Therapeutic Tools Against Refractory Cancers [dermatofibrosarcoma]

Project description:Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are hyperactivated in nearly all human tumor types. To identify new approaches for interfering with cyclins/CDKs, we systematically searched for microRNAs (miRNAs) regulating these proteins. We uncovered a group of miRNAs that target nearly all cyclins and CDKs, and demonstrated that these miRNAs are very effective in shutting off cancer cell expansion. By profiling the response of over 120 human cancer cell lines representing 12 tumor types to these cell-cycle-targeting miRNAs, we identified miRNAs particularly effective against triple-negative breast cancers and KRAS-mutated cancers. We also derived expression-based algorithm that predicts response of primary tumors to cell-cycle-targeting miRNAs. Using systemic administration of nanoparticle-formulated miRNAs, we halted tumor progression in seven mouse xenograft models, including three highly aggressive and treatment-refractory patient-derived tumors, without affecting normal tissues. Our results highlight the utility of using cell-cycle-targeting miRNAs for treatment of refractory cancer types.

A divergent cyclin/cyclin-dependent kinase complex controls progression through the atypical replicative cycles during Plasmodium berghei gametogony

Project description:Cell-cycle transitions are generally triggered by variations in the activity of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) bound to cyclins. Malaria-causing parasites have evolved unique cell-cycles with a repertoire of ancestral CDKs and cyclins whose functions and interdependency remain elusive. Here, we show that the divergent Plasmodium berghei CDK-related kinase 5 (CRK5), is a critical cell-cycle regulator of gametogony required for transmission to the mosquito. It phosphorylates canonical CDK motifs on components of the pre-replicative complex and is essential for DNA replication. We also provide evidence for indirect regulation of the concomitant progression through M-phase. Over a replicative cycle, CRK5 stably interacts with a single Plasmodium-specific cyclin (SOC2) with no evidence of SOC2 cycling through transcription, translation nor degradation. Our results present evidence that during Plasmodium gametogony, a unique and divergent cyclin/CDK pair evolved to fulfil the functional space of multiple eukaryotic cell-cycle kinases controlling S-phase entry and progression through M-phase.

A divergent cyclin/cyclin-dependent kinase complex controls the atypical replication of Plasmodium berghei during gametogony and parasite transmission.

Project description:Cell cycle transitions are generally triggered by variation in the activity of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) bound to cyclins. Malaria-causing parasites have a life cycle with unique cell-division cycles, and a repertoire of divergent CDKs and cyclins of poorly understood function and interdependency. We show that Plasmodium berghei CDK-related kinase 5 (CRK5), is a critical regulator of atypical mitosis in the gametogony and is required for mosquito transmission. It phosphorylates canonical CDK motifs of components in the pre-replicative complex and is essential for DNA replication. We also provide evidence for indirect regulation of the concomitant M-phase progression. During a replicative cycle, CRK5 stably interacts with a single Plasmodium-specific cyclin (SOC2), although we obtained no evidence of SOC2 cycling by transcription, translation or degradation. Our results provide evidence that during Plasmodium male gametogony, this unique cyclin/CDK pair fills the functional space of multiple eukaryotic cell-cycle kinases controlling DNA replication and M-phase progression.

Project description:Cell-cycle transitions are generally triggered by variations in the activity of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) bound to cyclins. Malaria parasites express ancestral CDKs and cyclins, whose functions and interdependency remain elusive. Here, we show that the unique Plasmodium berghei CDK-related kinase 5 (CRK5), is a critical cell-cycle regulator of gametogony required for transmission to the mosquito. It is essential for DNA replication and phosphorylates canonical S/TPxK CDK motifs on components of the pre-replicative complex otherwise regulated by distinct kinases in other eukaryotes. Over a replicative cycle, CRK5 stably interacts with a single Haemosporidia-specific cyclin (SOC2) with no evidence of SOC2 degradation. Regulation of CRK5 activity relies instead on dynamic phosphorylation of a C-terminus extension that mediates its interaction with SOC2. Our results present evidence that during the atypical cell cycles of Plasmodium gametogony, a unique and divergent cyclin/CDK pair fulfils the functional space of multiple eukaryotic cell-cycle kinases to initiate DNA replication.

Redundancy and Specialisation of Cyclin Dependent Kinases

Project description:Cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs) lie at the heart of eukaryotic cell division, with different CDK complexes initiating DNA replication (S-CDKs) and mitosis (M-CDKs)1-3. However, the principles on which cyclin-CDKs organise the cell cycle are still contentious, with current theories suggesting that either M-CDKs and S-CDKs are redundant with each other, and simply serve as a source of CDK activity, or that they are functionally specialised and execute distinct tasks. Here we reconcile these two views, showing that although S-CDKs are unable to drive mitosis, global CDK phosphorylation in vivo between S-CDK and M-CDK is surprisingly similar. Remarkably, S-CDK has cryptic mitotic activity which can be exposed by the removal of Protein Phosphatase 1 (PP1). In particular, removal of centrosomal PP1 allows S-CDK to execute mitosis indistinguishably from M-CDK, demonstrating their functional redundancy. Thus, we reconcile the two opposing views of cell cycle control, showing that although there is a minor level of specialisation between S-CDKs and M-CDKs, that the core cell cycle engine is based upon modulation of CDK activity, with cyclins providing refinements to this core system.

Contact inhibition controls miR-223 stabilization via p27kip1 expression

Project description:The control of cell cycle progression mostly relays on the concerted activity of cyclins, CDKs and CDKs inhibitor. Recent data demonstrated that microRNAs, by regulating the expression of these proteins, contribute to the control of cell cycle progression. Here we provide evidences that the CDK inhibitor p27Kip1 directly regulates microRNAs stability thereby influencing cell cycle exit following contact inhibition. By the use of wild type and p27 knock-out cells we uncovered several microRNAs whose expression is linked to the cell cycle exit in a p27-dependent manner. By studying one of this microRNA, miR-223, we provide evidence that p27 is an RNA binding protein able to bind miR-223 to stabilize its expression. High miR-223 levels participate in the control of cell proliferation. Overall, we identify a previously completely unknown and conserved function of p27Kip1 that contributes to the proper regulation of cell cycle progression impinging on microRNA expression.
