On TGF-beta binding, the TGF-beta receptor directly phosphorylates and activates the transcription factors Smad2/3, leading to G(1) arrest. Here, we present evidence for a second, parallel, TGF-beta-dependent pathway for cell cycle arrest, achieved via inhibition of p70(s6k). TGF-beta induces association of its receptor with protein phosphatase-2A (PP2A)-Balpha. Concomitantly, three PP2A-subunits, Balpha, Abeta, and Calpha, associate with p70(s6k), leading to its dephosphorylation and inactivation. Although either pathway is sufficient to induce G(1) arrest, abrogation of both, the inhibition of p70(s6k), and transcription through Smad proteins is required for release of epithelial cells from TGF-beta-induced G(1) arrest. TGF-beta thereby modulates the translational and posttranscriptional control of cell cycle progression.
转化生长因子-β(TGF-β)结合后,TGF-β受体直接磷酸化并激活转录因子Smad2/3,导致G1期停滞。在此,我们提供证据表明存在第二条平行的、依赖TGF-β的细胞周期停滞途径,该途径通过抑制p70核糖体蛋白S6激酶(p70(s6k))实现。TGF-β诱导其受体与蛋白磷酸酶2A(PP2A)-Bα结合。同时,三个PP2A亚基,即Bα、Aβ和Cα,与p70(s6k)结合,导致其去磷酸化并失活。尽管任何一条途径都足以诱导G1期停滞,但上皮细胞从TGF-β诱导的G1期停滞中释放需要同时废除这两条途径,即抑制p70(s6k)以及通过Smad蛋白进行转录。TGF-β由此调节细胞周期进程的翻译和转录后控制。
