ABSTRACT Human cyclin A1, a newly discovered cyclin, is expressed in testis and is thought to function in the meiotic cell cycle. Here, we show that the expression of human cyclin A1 and cyclin A1-associated kinase activities was regulated during the mitotic cell cycle. In the osteosarcoma cell line MG63, cyclin A1 mRNA and protein were present at very low levels in cells at the G0 phase. They increased during the progression of the cell cycle and reached the highest levels in the S and G2/M phases. Furthermore, the cyclin A1-associated histone H1 kinase activity peaked at the G2/M phase. We report that cyclin A1 could bind to important cell cycle regulators: the Rb family of proteins, the transcription factor E2F-1, and the p21 family of proteins. The in vitro interaction of cyclin A1 with E2F-1 was greatly enhanced when cyclin A1 was complexed with CDK2. Associations of cyclin A1 with Rb and E2F-1 were observed in vivo in several cell lines. When cyclin A1 was coexpressed with CDK2 in sf9 insect cells, the CDK2-cyclin A1 complex had kinase activities for histone H1, E2F-1, and the Rb family of proteins. Our results suggest that the Rb family of proteins and E2F-1 may be important targets for phosphorylation by the cyclin A1-associated kinase. Cyclin A1 may function in the mitotic cell cycle in certain cells.

Definition Of

Definition of mechanisms regulating human histone H1 gene transcription during the cell cycle requires the isolation and biochemical characterization of protein factors which interact with specific promoter elements. Two distinct binding activities have been identified in nuclear extracts from HeLa cells and mapped within a 180-base-pair (bp) region of a cell cycle-regulated H1 gene promoter. H1TF1 bound to an H1-specific A + C-rich sequence (AC box), 100 bp upstream of the cap site; H1TF2 interacted with the H1 subtype-specific consensus element and was dependent on the presence of an intact CCAAT box for binding. H1TF2 was purified through a combination of ion-exchange and oligonucleotide affinity chromatographies. Analysis of purified fractions by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and UV crosslinking showed that H1TF2 was a single polypeptide of 47 kilodaltons. This factor was distinct from previously characterized CCAAT-binding proteins in both molecular size and binding properties. Fractions containing H1TF2 activity activated transcription in vitro only if programmed with an H1 DNA template carrying an intact H1TF2-binding site.

Cycle Regulation

H1TF2 is a CCAAT transcription factor that binds to the histone H1 subtype-specific consensus sequence, which has previously been shown to be necessary for temporal regulation of histone H1 transcription during the cell cycle (F. La Bella, P. Gallinari, J. McKinney, and N. Heintz, Genes Dev. 3:1982-1990, 1989). In this study, we report that H1TF2 is a heteromeric CCAAT-binding protein composed of two polypeptide doublets of 33 and 34 kDa and 43 and 44 kDa that are not antigenically related. The 33- and 34-kDa species were not detected in our previous studies (P. Gallinari, F. La Bella, and N. Heintz, Mol. Cell. Biol. 9:1566-1575, 1989) because of technical problems in detection of these heavily glycosylated subunits. The cloning of H1TF2A, the large subunit of this factor, reveals it to be a glutamine-rich protein with extremely limited similarity to previously cloned CCAAT-binding proteins. A monospecific antiserum produced against bacterially synthesized H1TF2A was used to establish that HeLa cell H1TF2A is phosphorylated in vivo and that, in contrast to the H2b transcription factor Oct1 (S. B. Roberts, N. Segil, and N. Heintz, Science 253:1022-1026, 1991; N. Segil, S. B. Roberts, and N. Heintz, Cold Spring Harbor Symp. Quant. Biol. 56:285-292, 1991), no gross change in H1TF2A phosphorylation is evident during the cell cycle. Further immunoprecipitation studies demonstrated that H1TF2 is heterodimeric in the absence of DNA in vivo and identified several H1TF2-interacting proteins that may play a role in H1TF2 function in vivo.

p34cdc2 protein kinase is a universal regulator of M-phase in eukaryotic cell cycle. To investigate the regulation of meiotic and mitotic cell cycle in mammals, we examined the changes in phosphorylation states of p34cdc2 and its histone H1 kinase activity in mouse oocytes and embryos. We showed that p34cdc2 has three different migrating bands (referred to as upper, middle and lower bands) on SDS-PAGE followed by immunoblotting with anti-PSTAIR antibody, and that the upper and middle bands are phosphorylated forms since these two bands shifted to the lower one by alkaline phosphatase treatment. In meiotic cell cycle, only germinal vesicle (GV) stage oocytes had the three forms. The phosphorylated forms decreased gradually in oocytes up to 2 h after isolation from follicles, and thereafter the phosphorylation states did not change significantly until metaphase II. However, the histone H1 kinase activity oscillated, being activated at the first and second metaphase in meiosis and inactivated at the time of the first polar body extrusion. These results suggest that changes in phosphorylation states of p34cdc2 triggered its activation at the first metaphase, but not inactivation and reactivation at the first and second metaphase, respectively. In mitotic cell cycle, phosphorylated forms appeared at 4 h after insemination, increased greatly just before metaphase, and were dephosphorylated in metaphase. Histone H1 kinase activity was high only at metaphase. This kinase activation is probably triggered by dephosphorylation of p34cdc2.

We investigated the possible interactions between pp39mos and p34cdc2 kinase in NIH 3T3 cells transformed by c-mosxe. pp39mos is coprecipitated with p34cdc2 when using either anti-PSTAIR antibody or p13suc1-Sepharose beads. Likewise, p34cdc2 is coprecipitated with pp39mos when using anti-mos antibody. However, pp39mos was not present in histone H1 kinase-active p34cdc2 complexes precipitated with anti-p34cdc2 C-terminal peptide antibody even during metaphase of the cell cycle. The molar ratio of p34 to pp39mos in the p13suc1 complex is approximately 2:1. Consistent with the tight association between pp39mos and tubulin, tubulin was also present in equivalent amounts with pp39mos and p34 in the p13suc1 complex. This pp39mos-p34cdc2-tubulin complex may be important in transformation by the mos oncogene.
