cdc25A is a tyrosine phosphatase that activates G1 cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdk's). In human keratinocytes, cdc25A expression is down-regulated after the initial drop in Cdk activity caused by cell exposure to the antimitogenic cytokine transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) or removal of serum factors. Here we show that the TGF-beta-inhibitory-response element in the cdc25A promoter maps to an E2F site at nucleotides -62 to -55 from the transcription start site. This site is not required for basal transcription in keratinocytes. We provide evidence that the cell cycle arrest program activated by TGF-beta in human keratinocytes includes the generation of E2F4-p130 complexes that in association with histone deacetylase HDAC1 inhibit the activity of the cdc25A promoter from this repressor E2F site. This mechanism is part of a program that places keratinocytes in the quiescent state following the initial drop in Cdk activity caused by cell exposure to TGF-beta.
细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶25A(cdc25A)是一种酪氨酸磷酸酶,可激活G1期细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶(Cdk)。在人角质形成细胞中,细胞暴露于抗有丝分裂细胞因子转化生长因子β(TGF-β)或去除血清因子导致Cdk活性最初下降后,cdc25A的表达会下调。在此我们表明,cdc25A启动子中的TGF-β抑制反应元件定位于转录起始位点上游核苷酸-62至-55处的一个E2F位点。该位点对于角质形成细胞中的基础转录并非必需。我们提供的证据表明,TGF-β在人角质形成细胞中激活的细胞周期停滞程序包括生成E2F4-p130复合物,该复合物与组蛋白脱乙酰酶HDAC1结合,从这个阻遏性E2F位点抑制cdc25A启动子的活性。这种机制是一个程序的一部分,该程序使角质形成细胞在细胞暴露于TGF-β导致Cdk活性最初下降后进入静止状态。
