APC/C and retinoblastoma interaction: cross-talk of retinoblastoma protein with the ubiquitin proteasome pathway
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ubiquitin (Ub) ligase anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) and the tumour suppressor retinoblastoma protein (pRB) play key roles in cell cycle regulation. APC/C is a critical regulator of mitosis and G1-phase of the cell cycle whereas pRB keeps a check on proliferation by inhibiting transition to the S-phase. APC/C and pRB interact with each other via the co-activator of APC/C, FZR1, providing an alternative pathway of regulation of G1 to S transition by pRB using a post-translational mechanism. Both pRB and FZR1 have complex roles and are implicated not only in regulation of cell proliferation but also in differentiation, quiescence, apoptosis, maintenance of chromosomal integrity and metabolism. Both are also targeted by transforming viruses. We discuss recent advances in our understanding of the involvement of APC/C and pRB in cell cycle based decisions and how these insights will be useful for development of anti-cancer and anti-viral drugs.

E7 protein of human papilloma virus-16 induces degradation of retinoblastoma protein through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.
Rb protein is a critical regulator of entry into the cell cycle, and loss of Rb function by deletions, mutations, or interaction with DNA viral oncoproteins leads to oncogenic transformation. We have shown that the human papilloma virus (HPV)-16 E7 gene is sufficient to induce the immortalization of mammary epithelial cells (MECs). Surprisingly, the steady-state level of Rb protein in these imm...

A cross talk between the Estrogen Receptor (ESR1) and the Retinoblastoma (pRb) pathway has been demonstrated to influence the therapeutic response of breast cancer patients but the full mechanism remains poorly understood. Here we show that the N-terminal domain of pRb interacts with the CD domain of ESR1 to allow for the assembly of intermediate complex chaperone proteins HSP90 and p23. We dem...

Objective(s): Non-invasive treatment options for retinoblastoma (RB), the most common malignant eye tumor among children, are lacking. Epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) accelerates cell proliferation, survival, and invasion of many tumors including RB. However, RB treatment by targeting EGFR has not yet been researched. In the current study, we investigated the effect of EGFR down-regula...
متن کاملThe retinoblastoma gene product protects E2F-1 from degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.
E2F-1 plays a crucial role in the regulation of cell-cycle progression at the G1-S transition. In keeping with the fact that, when overproduced, it is both an oncoprotein and a potent inducer of apoptosis, its transcriptional activity is subject to multiple controls. Among them are binding by the retinoblastoma gene product (pRb), activation by cdk3, and S-phase-dependent down-regulation of DNA...
