Regulation of cyclin abundance is central to eukaryotic cell cycle control. Strong overexpression of mitotic cyclins is known to lock the system in mitosis, but the quantitative behavior of the control system as this threshold is approached has only been characterized in the in vitro Xenopus extract system. Here, we quantitate the threshold for mitotic block in budding yeast caused by constitutive overexpression of the mitotic cyclin Clb2. Near this threshold, the system displays marked loss of robustness, in that loss or even heterozygosity for some regulators becomes deleterious or lethal, even though complete loss of these regulators is tolerated at normal cyclin expression levels. Recently, we presented a quantitative kinetic model of the budding yeast cell cycle. Here, we use this model to generate biochemical predictions for Clb2 levels, asynchronous as well as through the cell cycle, as the Clb2 overexpression threshold is approached. The model predictions compare well with biochemical data, even though no data of this type were available during model generation. The loss of robustness of the Clb2 overexpressing system is also predicted by the model. These results provide strong confirmation of the model's predictive ability.

Using a positive selection system for isolating DNA replication and repair related mutants, we isolated a clone from a rat kangaroo cell line (PtK2) that has increased sensitivity to UV light. Characterization of this clone indicated normal post-replication repair after UV irradiation, and normal removal rates of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and pyrimidine(6-4)pyrimidone photoproducts by excision repair. However, this cell line has decreased ability to make early incisions on damaged DNA, possibly indicating a defect in preferential repair of actively transcribed genes, and a slower cell proliferation rate, including a longer S-phase. This phenotype reinforces the present notion that control of key mechanisms in cell metabolism, such as cell cycle control, repair, transcription and cell death, can be linked.

Purpose Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA repair and cell cycle control genes may alter protein function and therefore the efficacy of DNA damaging chemotherapy. We retrospectively evaluated the association of SNPs in DNA repair genes, XRCC1-01 (Arg399Gln) and XRCC3-01 (Thr241Met), and a cell cycle control gene, CCND1-02 (A870G), with progression-free survival (PFS) and breast cancer specific survival (BCSS) in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Patients and Methods SNPs in 95 patients with MBC enrolled onto one of five prospective clinical trials of high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem-cell transplantation were evaluated using genotyping assays. Results For XRCC1-01, the hazard ratio (HR) for BCSS was 2.8 (95% CI, 1.60 to 5.00) and the HR for PFS was 2.0 (95%CI, 1.12 to 3.43). For XRCC3-01, the HR for BCSS was 2.0 (95%CI, 1.12 to 3.70) and the HR for PFS was 2.0 (95%CI, 1.09 to 3.59). For CCND1-02, the HR for BCSS was 1.8 (95%CI, 1.12 to 2.78) and the HR for PFS was 1.8 (95%CI, 1.15 to 2.85). Patients carrying one variant genotype (HR, 1.7; 95%CI, 1.07 to 2.82) or combinations of any two variant genotypes (HR, 4.7; 95% CI, 2.41 to 8.94) had significantly poorer BCSS compared with patients carrying zero variants. In multivariable analysis, XRCC1-01, presence of liver metastases, and bone metastases independently predicted BCSS. Combinations of any two variant genotypes were stronger independent predictors of BCSS and PFS than the presence of liver or bone metastases. Conclusion XRCC1-01, XRCC3-01, and CCND1-01 may be predictive of survival outcome in patients with MBC treated with DNA damaging chemotherapy.
