| Cyclin E1 and cyclin E2 can associate with and activate cdk2 (1). Upon DNA damage, upregulation/ activation of the cdk inhibitors p21Waf1/Cip1 and p27Kip1 prevents cyclin E/cdk2 activation, resulting in G1/S arrest. However, when conditions are favorable for cell cycle progression, cyclin D/cdk4/6 phosphorylates Rb and is thought to reduce the activity of p21Waf1/Cip1 and p27Kip1, allowing subsequent activation of cyclin E/cdk2 (1,2). Cyclin E/cdk2 then further phosphorylates Rb to allow progression into S-phase, where cyclin |
|
| E/cdk2 is thought to phosphorylate and activate multiple proteins involved in DNA synthesis (2,3). Turnover of cyclin E is largely contolled by phosphorylation resulting in SCFFbw7-mediated ubiquitination and proteasomedependent degradation (4,5). Cyclin E1 is phosphorylated |
|
| at multiple sites in vivo including Thr62, Ser88, Ser72, Thr380 and Ser384, and is controlled by at least two kinases, Cdk2 and GSK3 (6,7). |
