Inositol lipids are regulated during cell cycle progression in the nuclei of murine erythroleukaemia cells.

ABSTRACT: Previous data suggest the existence of discrete pools of inositol lipids, which are components of a nuclear phosphoinositide (PI) cycle. However, it is not known whether the contents of these pools are regulated during cell proliferation. In the present study we demonstrate that the mass levels of three important constituents of the nuclear PI cycle are regulated during the cell cycle. Radioactive label incorporation into PtdIns(4,5)P(2) was seen to increase dramatically as synchronized cells entered S-phase. This did not coincide with any significant changes in the nuclear mass levels of this lipid, suggesting that the rate of turnover of this molecule was increased. Levels of PtdIns4P, the major substrate for PtdIns(4,5)P(2) production by Type I PtdInsP kinases (PIPkins), were regulated during the cell cycle and indicated a complex relationship between these two lipids. An alternative substrate for PtdIns(4,5)P(2), PtdIns5P, phosphorylated by Type II PIPkins, was present in nuclei at much smaller amounts than the PtdIns4P, and thus is unlikely to contribute significantly to PtdIns(4,5)P(2) turnover. However, a large increase in nuclear PtdIns5P mass was observed when murine erythroleukaemia cells are in G(1), and this could represent a potential pool of nuclear inositol lipid that has a specific signalling role. Analysis of extracted lipid fractions indicated the absence of any PtdIns3P in these nuclei.

Expression of the murine RanBP1 and Htf9-c genes is regulated from a shared bidirectional promoter during cell cycle progression.

Project description:The murine Htf9-a/RanBP1 and Htf9-c genes are divergently transcribed from a bidirectional promoter. The Htf9-a gene encodes the RanBP1 protein, a major partner of the Ran GTPase. The divergently transcribed Htf9-c gene encodes a protein sharing similarity with yeast and bacterial nucleic acid-modifying enzymes. We report here that both mRNA species produced by the Htf9-associated genes are regulated during the cell cycle progression, peak in S phase and decrease during mitosis. Transient expression experiments with reporter constructs showed that cell cycle expression is controlled at the transcriptional level, because the bidirectional Htf9 promoter is down-regulated in growth-arrested cells, is activated at the G1/S transition and reaches maximal activity in S phase, though with a different efficiency for each orientation. We have delimited specific promoter regions controlling S phase activity in one or both orientations: identified elements contain recognition sites for members belonging to both the E2F and Sp1 families of transcription factors. Together, the results suggest that the sharing of the regulatory region supports co-regulation of the Htf9-a/RanBP1 and Htf9-c genes in a common window of the cell cycle.

MMSET is dynamically regulated during cell-cycle progression and promotes normal DNA replication.

Project description:The timely and precise duplication of cellular DNA is essential for maintaining genome integrity and is thus tightly-regulated. During mitosis and G1, the Origin Recognition Complex (ORC) binds to future replication origins, coordinating with multiple factors to load the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) complex onto future replication origins as part of the pre-replication complex (pre-RC). The pre-RC machinery, in turn, remains inactive until the subsequent S phase when it is required for replication fork formation, thereby initiating DNA replication. Multiple myeloma SET domain-containing protein (MMSET, a.k.a. WHSC1, NSD2) is a histone methyltransferase that is frequently overexpressed in aggressive cancers and is essential for normal human development. Several studies have suggested a role for MMSET in cell-cycle regulation; however, whether MMSET is itself regulated during cell-cycle progression has not been examined. In this study, we report that MMSET is degraded during S phase in a cullin-ring ligase 4-Cdt2 (CRL4(Cdt2)) and proteasome-dependent manner. Notably, we also report defects in DNA replication and a decreased association of pre-RC factors with chromatin in MMSET-depleted cells. Taken together, our results suggest a dynamic regulation of MMSET levels throughout the cell cycle, and further characterize the role of MMSET in DNA replication and cell-cycle progression.

Changes in the components of a nuclear inositide cycle during differentiation in murine erythroleukaemia cells.

Project description:Differentiation of murine erythroleukaemia cells with the chemical agent DMSO leads to a cessation of proliferation and the production of a number of erythrocyte markers such as haemoglobin. We have previously demonstrated that activation of proliferation leads to an increase in the production of nuclear diacylglycerol (DAG). Here we demonstrate that differentiation leads to a decrease in the levels of nuclear DAG and the activity of the nuclear-associated phosphoinositidase C (PIC). The change in activity appears to be due to a decrease in the mass levels of the beta 1 isoform, as demonstrated by the use of isoform-specific antibodies. Moreover, the changes correlate with the cessation of proliferation and an increase in the number of cells in G1 phase of the cell cycle, rather than with the number of cells which have differentiated. Indeed, although treatment of the cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) inhibits the differentiation programme as assessed by haemoglobin staining, it does not inhibit the number of cells blocking in G1 of the cell cycle or the changes in nuclear DAG or PIC activity. The possible involvement of this nuclear inositide cycle during progression through the cell cycle is discussed.

Hippo signaling is intrinsically regulated during cell cycle progression by APC/C<sup>Cdh1</sup>.

Project description:The Hippo-YAP/TAZ signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in growth control during development and regeneration and its dysregulation is widely implicated in various cancers. To further understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying Hippo signaling regulation, we have found that activities of core Hippo signaling components, large tumor suppressor (LATS) kinases and YAP/TAZ transcription factors, oscillate during mitotic cell cycle. We further identified that the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C)Cdh1 E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, which plays a key role governing eukaryotic cell cycle progression, intrinsically regulates Hippo signaling activities. CDH1 recognizes LATS kinases to promote their degradation and, hence, YAP/TAZ regulation by LATS phosphorylation is under cell cycle control. As a result, YAP/TAZ activities peak in G1 phase. Furthermore, we show in Drosophila eye and wing development that Cdh1 is required in vivo to regulate the LATS homolog Warts with a conserved mechanism. Cdh1 reduction increased Warts levels, which resulted in reduction of the eye and wing sizes in a Yorkie dependent manner. Therefore, LATS degradation by APC/CCdh1 represents a previously unappreciated and evolutionarily conserved layer of Hippo signaling regulation.

Cloning and characterization of murine carnitine acetyltransferase: evidence for a requirement during cell cycle progression.

Project description:We have employed a newly developed differential screening technique (reverse strand priming) to identify murine carnitine acetyltransferase (CARAT) as a growth- and cell cycle-regulated gene in S3T3 mouse fibroblasts. Sequence analysis of the full-length cDNA clone and homology comparisons have revealed 87% homology to the human CARAT gene. On Northern blots we were able to measure a 2-3-fold induction 18 h after a mitogenic stimulus following serum deprivation as well as after release from a sodium butyrate block. The cell cycle induction pattern of the CARAT gene was analysed in mouse fibroblasts at different stages of the unperturbed cell cycle. Fractions obtained by elutriation of an exponentially growing culture showed a biphasic maximum of transcript abundance in the G1 and G2 phases of the cell cycle. CARAT expression was investigated in several organs of the adult mouse. Among those measured, CARAT expression was highest, relative to liver, in heart muscle (56-fold) and testis (21-fold). Using both conventional antisense oligodeoxynucleotides and novel single-stranded antisense phagemid DNA, we obtained evidence that the CARAT enzyme function is necessary for progression through G1 and into the S-phase of the cell cycle.

Rasa3 regulates stage-specific cell cycle progression in murine erythropoiesis.

Project description:Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS) are heterogeneous disorders characterized by dysregulated hematopoiesis in various lineages, developmental anomalies, and predisposition to malignancy. The scat (severe combined anemia and thrombocytopenia) mouse model is a model of IBMFS with a phenotype of pancytopenia cycling through crises and remission. Scat carries an autosomal recessive missense mutation in Rasa3 that results in RASA3 mislocalization and loss of function. RASA3 functions as a Ras-GTPase activating protein (GAP), and its loss of function in scat results in increased erythroid RAS activity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) and altered erythroid cell cycle progression, culminating in delayed terminal erythroid differentiation. Here we sought to further resolve the erythroid cell cycle defect in scat through ex vivo flow cytometric analyses. These studies revealed a specific G0/G1 accumulation in scat bone marrow (BM) polychromatophilic erythroblasts and scat BM Ter119-/c-KIT+/CD71lo/med progenitors, with no changes evident in equivalent scat spleen populations. Systematic analyses of RNAseq data from megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitors (MEPs) in scat crisis vs. scat partial remission reveal altered expression of genes involved in the G1-S checkpoint. Together, these data indicate a precise, biphasic role for RASA3 in regulating the cell cycle during erythropoiesis with relevance to hematopoietic disease progression.

Mapping metabolic oscillations during cell cycle progression.

Project description:Proliferating cells must synthesize a wide variety of macromolecules while progressing through the cell cycle, but the coordination between cell cycle progression and cellular metabolism is still poorly understood. To identify metabolic processes that oscillate over the cell cycle, we performed comprehensive, non-targeted liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) based metabolomics of HeLa cells isolated in the G1 and SG2M cell cycle phases, capturing thousands of diverse metabolite ions. When accounting for increased total metabolite abundance due to cell growth throughout the cell cycle, 18% of the observed LC-HRMS peaks were at least twofold different between the stages, consistent with broad metabolic remodeling throughout the cell cycle. While most amino acids, phospholipids, and total ribonucleotides were constant across cell cycle phases, consistent with the view that total macromolecule synthesis does not vary across the cell cycle, certain metabolites were oscillating. For example, ribonucleotides were highly phosphorylated in SG2M, indicating an increase in energy charge, and several phosphatidylinositols were more abundant in G1, possibly indicating altered membrane lipid signaling. Within carbohydrate metabolism, pentose phosphates and methylglyoxal metabolites were associated with the cycle. Interestingly, hundreds of yet uncharacterized metabolites similarly oscillated between cell cycle phases, suggesting previously unknown metabolic activities that may be synchronized with cell cycle progression, providing an important resource for future studies.

Cell adhesion is regulated by CDK1 during the cell cycle.

Project description:In most tissues, anchorage-dependent growth and cell cycle progression are dependent on cells engaging extracellular matrices (ECMs) via integrin-receptor adhesion complexes. In a highly conserved manner, cells disassemble adhesion complexes, round up, and retract from their surroundings before division, suggestive of a primordial link between the cell cycle machinery and the regulation of cell adhesion to the ECM. In this study, we demonstrate that cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) mediates this link. CDK1, in complex with cyclin A2, promotes adhesion complex and actin cytoskeleton organization during interphase and mediates a large increase in adhesion complex area as cells transition from G1 into S. Adhesion complex area decreases in G2, and disassembly occurs several hours before mitosis. This loss requires elevated cyclin B1 levels and is caused by inhibitory phosphorylation of CDK1-cyclin complexes. The inactivation of CDK1 is therefore the trigger that initiates remodeling of adhesion complexes and the actin cytoskeleton in preparation for rapid entry into mitosis.

Inhibition of ferrochelatase during differentiation of murine erythroleukaemia cells.

Project description:During dimethyl sulphoxide-induced differentiation of DS-19 murine erythroleukaemia (MEL) cells, the activity of the terminal enzyme of the haem-biosynthetic pathway, ferrochelatase (protohaem ferrolyase, EC 4.99.1.1), is thought to be the rate-limiting step for haem production. Differentiation of induced MEL cells in the presence of exogeneously supplied protoporphyrin IX showed that total haem production was affected by added porphyrin only after 48 h. These data suggest that iron insertion, the terminal step, is rate-limiting during the first 48 h of differentiation. Addition of low levels of diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydro-2,4,6-trimethylpyridine to differentiating cultures resulted in decreased haem production and decreased ferrochelatase activity. N-Methylprotoporphyrin at nanomolar concentrations also strongly inhibited ferrochelatase activity, but had no inhibitory effect on cellular haem production. The bivalent cations Co2+, Cd2+ and Mn2+ were tested for their effect on haem production and ferrochelatase activity. All three metals were found to inhibit both haem formation and ferrochelatase activity, with Mn2+ being the strongest effector. These data, together with those previously published, suggest that the terminal step in haem biosynthesis is rate-limiting during the early stages of differentiation in MEL cells.
