The Rice Cyclin-Dependent Kinase –Activating Kinase R2 Regulates S-

Phase Progression

◎ Cell Cycle 이란 ?

ordered series of events leading to replication of cells

- G1 phase : After mitosis, including cytokinesis which divides the cytoplasm between the two daughter cells,

and before the onset of the next S phase there is an interval designated Gap1 or G1.

- S phase : Synthesis phase during which the DNA is replicated

- G2 phase : After the completion of DNA replication and chromosome duplication, in other S phase is

completed, there is a second interval designated Gap2, or G2 before the set of mitosis.

- M phase : Mitosis(nuclear division) and Cytokinesis(cytoplasmic division)

Cell cycle progression is regulated by protein

Cyclin

CDK(Cyclin-dependent kinase) - superfamily of eukaryotic serine-threonine protein kinase - required binding to a cyclin protein for activity. : CDK catalytic subunits do not act alone. - function 1) regulation of the eukaryotic cell division cycle. 2) the control of gene transcription and other process. 3) nutrient starvation and the control of transcription.

- degradation of mitotic cyclins

polyubiquitination of mitotic cyclin- The regulation of S phase inducing protein

① E1 (ubiquitin-activating enzyme)-SH ↔ ubiquitin-COOH via thioester bond

② ubiquitin transferred to E2 (ubiquitin-conjugating enxymes)

③ E3 (ubiquitin ligase) : multiubiquitin → covalently linked via lysine → making substrate

for proteosome

EX) How p53 arrests the cell cycle in G1.

• active p53

• ↓

inactive p53 ↓ ←DNA damage active p53 ↓ binds to regulatory region of p21 gene ↓ p21 mRNA ↓ p21 protein (Cdk inhibitory protein) ↓ p21-S phase cyclin-S phase Cdk complex

Cyclin-CDK complex

① Inhitiates M phase

② S phase cdk-S phase cyclin

- The regulation of Cdks by cyclin degradation.

◎ Checkpoint- Summary of some cell-cycle checkpoints.

◎ To die or stop dividing

a. DNA 가 손상되었을 때 p53 은 growth-arrest gene 인 p21 gene 등을 발현시켜서 세포분열을 일시적으로 정지시킨다

b. DNA 손상이 세포가 수용지 못할 정도로 심하면 , p53 은 Apoptosis-inducing gene 인 Bax gene 등을 발현시켜서 세포를 apoptosis 시킨다 . 이 때 , p53-binding protein 인 ASPP 가 p53 의 apoptosis 기작을 돕는다 . ASPP 의 결여는 p53 의 변이와 함께 비정상적 세포 증식의 원인이 된다 .

CAK (CDK-activating kinase) - Phosphorylation of CDKs at a conserved threonine residue is required for their full activity

- have low homology with each other, and they differ in their enzyme characteristics.

Plant - rice : R2 - arabidopsis : Cak1At

Rice CAK homologous kinase R2

- is expressed at higher levels in S-phase

- regulated not only at the transcript level but also at the protein and enzyme

activity levels.
