Alteration/deficiency in activation 3 (ADA3) is an essential component of specific histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complexes. We have previously shown that ADA3 is required for establishing global histone acetylation patterns and for normal cell cycle progression (S. Mohibi et al., J Biol Chem 287:29442–29456, 2012,http://dx.doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M112.378901). Here, we report that these functional roles of ADA3 require its acetylation. We show that ADA3 acetylation, which is dynamically regulated in a cell cycle-dependent manner, reflects a balance of coordinated actions of its associated HATs, GCN5, PCAF, and p300, and a new partner that we define, the deacetylase SIRT1. We use mass spectrometry and site-directed mutagenesis to identify major sites of ADA3 acetylated by GCN5 and p300. Acetylation-defective mutants are capable of interacting with HATs and other components of HAT complexes but are deficient in their ability to restore ADA3-dependent global or locus-specific histone acetylation marks and cell proliferation inAda3-deleted murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Given the key importance of ADA3-containing HAT complexes in the regulation of various biological processes, including the cell cycle, our study presents a novel mechanism to regulate the function of these complexes through dynamic ADA3 acetylation.

Cell growth and division requires the precise duplication of cellular DNA content but also of membranes and organelles. Knowledge about the cell-cycle–dependent regulation of membrane and storage lipid homeostasis is only rudimentary. Previous work from our laboratory has shown that the breakdown of triacylglycerols (TGs) is regulated in a cell-cycle–dependent manner, by activation of the Tgl4 lipase by the major cyclin-dependent kinase Cdc28. The lipases Tgl3 and Tgl4 are required for efficient cell-cycle progression during the G1/S (Gap1/replication phase) transition, at the onset of bud formation, and their absence leads to a cell-cycle delay. We now show that defective lipolysis activates the Swe1 morphogenesis checkpoint kinase that halts cell-cycle progression by phosphorylation of Cdc28 at tyrosine residue 19. Saturated long-chain fatty acids and phytosphingosine supplementation rescue the cell-cycle delay in the Tgl3/Tgl4 lipase-deficient strain, suggesting that Swe1 activity responds to imbalanced sphingolipid metabolism, in the absence of TG degradation. We propose a model by which TG-derived sphingolipids are required to activate the protein phosphatase 2A (PP2ACdc55) to attenuate Swe1 phosphorylation and its inhibitory effect on Cdc28 at the G1/S transition of the cell cycle.

Glucose metabolism has been studied extensively to understand functional interplays between metabolism and a cell cycle. However, our understanding of cell cycle-dependent metabolic adaptation particularly in human cells remains largely elusive. Meanwhile, human enzymes in glucose metabolism are shown to functionally organize into three different sizes of a multienzyme metabolic assembly, the glucosome, to regulate glucose flux in a size-dependent manner. Here, using fluorescence single-cell imaging techniques, we discover that glucosomes spatiotemporally oscillate during a cell cycle in an assembly size-dependent manner. Importantly, their oscillation at single-cell levels is in accordance with functional contributions of glucose metabolism to cell cycle progression at a population level. Collectively, we demonstrate functional oscillation of glucosomes during cell cycle progression and thus their biological significance to human cell biology.

We have found that CDK2 and cyclin E, but not cyclin A, accumulates within Cajal bodies (CBs) in a cell cycle-dependent fashion. In the absence of cyclin E, CDK2 is not enriched in the CB compartment, suggesting that the translocation of CDK2 to CBs is dependent on cyclin E. CDK2 and cyclin E could be recruited to CBs as a functional complex or CBs may serve as ‘docking stations’ for CDK2-cyclin E activation by CAKs during the G(1)/S transition. Notably, CDK7-cyclin H-Mat1 complexes are known to accumulate in CBs. Treatment of cells with inhibitors of either CDKs (olomoucine, 200 microM) or RNA polymerase I (actinomycin D, 0.05 microgram/ml), results in a striking reorganization of CDK2 and p80 coilin to the nucleolar periphery. Furthermore, we demonstrate that p80 coilin can be phosphorylated by purified CDK2-cyclin E complexes in vitro. Thus coilin and other CB proteins appear to be downstream targets of CDK2-cyclin E complex-mediated signaling pathways regulating cell cycle progression and controlling aspects of CB function. Possible roles for CDK2 and cyclin E in the well-documented association of CBs, histone gene clusters and RNA 3′ end processing factors are discussed.

Mitogenic stimulation of quiescent cells not only triggers the cell division cycle but also induces an increase in cell volume, associated with an activation of cellular metabolism. It is therefore likely that genes encoding enzymes and other proteins involved in energy metabolism and biosynthetic pathways represent a major class of mitogen-induced genes. In the present study, we investigated in the non-established human fibroblast line WI-38 the induction by mitogens of 17 genes whose products play a role in different metabolic processes. We show that these genes fall into 4 different categories, i.e. non-induced genes, immediate early (IE) primary genes, delayed early (DE) secondary genes and late genes reaching peak levels in S-phase. In addition, we have analysed the regulation of these genes during normal cell cycle progression, using HL-60 cells separated by counterflow elutriation. A clear cell cycle regulation was seen with those genes that are induced in S-phase, i.e. thymidine kinase, thymidylate synthase and dihydrofolate reductase. In addition, two DE genes showed a cell cycle dependent expression. Ornithine decarboxylase mRNA increased around mid-G1, reaching maximum levels in S/G2, while hexokinase mRNA expression was highest in early G1. In contrast, the expression of other DE and IE genes did not fluctuate during the cell cycle, a result that was confirmed with elutriated WI-38 and serum-stimulated HL-60 cells. These observations suggest that G0-->S and G1-->S transition are distinct processes, exhibiting characteristic programmes of gene regulation, and merging around S-phase entry.

ABSTRACT Phosphorylation of histone H1 is intimately related to the cell cycle progression in higher eukaryotes, reaching maximum levels during mitosis. We have previously shown that in the flagellated protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, which does not condense chromatin during mitosis, histone H1 is phosphorylated at a single cyclin-dependent kinase site. By using an antibody that recognizes specifically the phosphorylated T. cruzi histone H1 site, we have now confirmed that T. cruzi histone H1 is also phosphorylated in a cell cycle-dependent manner. Differently from core histones, the bulk of nonphosphorylated histone H1 in G1 and S phases of the cell cycle is concentrated in the central regions of the nucleus, which contains the nucleolus and less densely packed chromatin. When cells pass G2, histone H1 becomes phosphorylated and starts to diffuse. At the onset of mitosis, histone H1 phosphorylation is maximal and found in the entire nuclear space. As permeabilized parasites preferentially lose phosphorylated histone H1, we conclude that this modification promotes its release from less condensed and nucleolar chromatin after G2.

During mitosis, sister chromatids congress on either side of the spindle equator to facilitate the correct partitioning of the genomic material. Chromosome congression requires a finely tuned control of microtubule dynamics by the kinesin motor proteins. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the kinesin proteins Cin8, Kip1, and Kip3 have pivotal roles in chromosome congression. It has been hypothesized that additional proteins that modulate microtubule dynamics are also involved. Here, we show that the microtubule plus-end tracking protein Bik1 (the budding yeast ortholog of CLIP-170) is essential for chromosome congression. We find that nuclear Bik1 localizes to the kinetochores in a cell-cycle-dependent manner. Disrupting the nuclear pool of Bik1 with a nuclear export signal (Bik1-NES) leads to a slower cell cycle progression characterized by a delayed metaphase-anaphase transition. Bik1-NES cells have mispositioned kinetochores along the spindle in metaphase. Furthermore, using proximity-dependent methods, we identify Cin8 as an interaction partner of Bik1. Deleting CIN8 reduces the amount of Bik1 at the spindle. In contrast, Cin8 retains its typical bilobed distribution in Bik1-NES and does not localize to the unclustered kinetochores characteristic of Bik1-NES cells. Thus, we propose that Bik1 functions together with Cin8 to regulate kinetochore-microtubule dynamics for correct kinetochore positioning and chromosome congression.

Abstract Background - Histone Post Translational Modifications (PTMs) change in a cell cycle dependent manner and also orchestrate the DNA repair process for radiation induced DNA damage. Mitosis is the most radiosensitive phase of the cell cycle but the epigenetic events that regulate its radiosensitivity remain elusive.Results - This study explored the dynamics between histone marks H3S10/S28ph, H3K9ac and γH2AX during mitotic DNA damage response. The presence of a mononucleosome level association between γH2AX and H3S10ph was observed only during mitosis. This association was abrogated upon cell cycle progression and chromatin de-condensation, concomitant with chromatin recruitment of DNA repair proteins Ku70 and Rad51. Moreover, the levels of H3S10/28ph remained unchanged upon DNA damage during mitosis, but decreased in a cell cycle dependent manner upon mitotic exit. However, the population that arose after mitotic progression of damaged cells comprised of binucleated tetraploid cells. This population was epigenetically distinct from interphase cells, characterized by reduced H3S10/S28ph, increased H3K9ac and more open chromatin configuration. These epigenetic features correlated with decreased survival potential of this population. The low levels of H3S10/28ph were attributed to decreased protein translation and chromatin recruitment of histone kinase Mitogen and Stress-activated Kinase 1 (MSK1) along with persistent levels of Protein phosphatase1 catalytic subunit α (PP1α). Conclusions – This study suggests that a unique epigenetic landscape attained during and after mitotic DNA damage collectively contributed to mitotic radiosensitivity. The findings of this study have potential clinical significance in terms of tackling resistance against anti-mitotic chemotherapeutic agents.

ABSTRACT PTOV1 is a mitogenic protein that shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in a cell cycle-dependent manner. It consists of two homologous domains arranged in tandem that constitute a new class of protein modules. We show here that PTOV1 interacts with the lipid raft protein flotillin-1, with which it copurifies in detergent-insoluble floating fractions. Flotillin-1 colocalized with PTOV1 not only at the plasma membrane but, unexpectedly, also in the nucleus, as demonstrated by immunocytochemistry and subcellular fractionation of endogenous and exogenous flotillin-1. Flotillin-1 entered the nucleus concomitant with PTOV1, shortly before the initiation of the S phase. Protein levels of PTOV1 and flotillin-1 oscillated during the cell cycle, with a peak in S. Depletion of PTOV1 significantly inhibited nuclear localization of flotillin-1, whereas depletion of flotillin-1 did not affect nuclear localization of PTOV1. Depletion of either protein markedly inhibited cell proliferation under basal conditions. Overexpression of PTOV1 or flotillin-1 strongly induced proliferation, which required their localization to the nucleus, and was dependent on the reciprocal protein. These observations suggest that PTOV1 assists flotillin-1 in its translocation to the nucleus and that both proteins are required for cell proliferation.

Abstract Splicing factor 3B1 (SF3B1) is a member of the U2 snRNP complex that is a key regulator of RNA splicing. RNA splicing begins with the recognition of splice sites (ss) at the 5' and 3' ends of introns and ends with the removal of introns and joining of exons flanking them. SF3B1 plays an important role in this process by facilitating the recognition of the 3'ss. SF3B1 is frequently mutated in numerous cancers as well as the myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Mutations within the HEAT domain of the protein potentially contribute to disease pathogenesis. In addition to influencing splicing by binding to pre-mRNA, SF3B1 has been shown to affect splicing of exons by associating with them directly on chromatin via histone/nucleosome interactions. However, it is not understood if or how SF3B1 association with chromatin is regulated. Given that N-terminal serine and threonine residues on SF3B1 are known substrates of cyclin E-Cdk2, which phosphorylates histone subunits and other chromatin associated proteins, we hypothesized that CDK2 activity regulates SF3B1-nucleosome interactions. Although SF3B1 is phosphorylated during splicing catalysis, the function of this phosphorylation has remained unknown. We have now discovered, using nucleosome preparations and histone subunit co-immunoprecipitation assays in synchronized cells, that endogenous SF3B1 interacts with nucleosomes in a highly cell-cycle dependent manner, while total cellular abundance of SF3B1 remains invariant during cell cycle progression. In human and mouse cells, including hematopoietic cell lines, SF3B1 is excluded from chromatin during both G0 (quiescence) and G2/M phases of cell cycle. Notably, SF3B1 is enriched within chromatin maximally during S-phase. Unexpectedly, we found that the inhibition of Cdc2 (Cdk1) during G2/M enforces the SF3B1-chromatin interaction, pointing to a direct role for Cdc2 in restraining this interaction during mitosis. Further, SF3B1 loading onto chromatin during early cell cycle progression from G0 to S-phase is inhibited by Cdk2 inhibition. Thus, Cdk2 and Cdc2 appear to have antagonistic roles in controlling SF3B1-chromatin interactions during the cell cycle. Our findings suggest that Cdk activity may regulate the recruitment of the spliceosome machinery in order to coordinate splicing of particular transcripts with cell cycle progression. Current studies are focusing on how disease-associated mutations in the HEAT domain of SF3B1 affect the dynamics of its cell cycle-dependent interaction with nucleosomes and corresponding alterations to splicing outcomes.
