Use of an in silico knowledge discovery approach to determine mechanistic studies of silver nanoparticles-induced toxicity from in vitro to in vivo. Part Fibre Toxicol 2022; 19:6. [PMID: 35031062 PMCID: PMC8759195 DOI: 10.1186/s12989-022-00447-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2021] [Accepted: 12/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are considered a double-edged sword that demonstrates beneficial and harmful effects depending on their dimensions and surface coating types. However, mechanistic understanding of the size- and coating-dependent effects of AgNPs in vitro and in vivo remains elusive. We adopted an in silico decision tree-based knowledge-discovery-in-databases process to prioritize the factors affecting the toxic potential of AgNPs, which included exposure dose, cell type and AgNP type (i.e., size and surface coating), and exposure time. This approach also contributed to effective knowledge integration between cell-based phenomenological observations and in vitro/in vivo mechanistic explorations. Results The consolidated cell viability assessment results were used to create a tree model for generalizing cytotoxic behavior of the four AgNP types: SCS, LCS, SAS, and LAS. The model ranked the toxicity-related parameters in the following order of importance: exposure dose > cell type > particle size > exposure time ≥ surface coating. Mechanistically, larger AgNPs appeared to provoke greater levels of autophagy in vitro, which occurred during the earlier phase of both subcytotoxic and cytotoxic exposures. Furthermore, apoptosis rather than necrosis majorly accounted for compromised cell survival over the above dosage range. Intriguingly, exposure to non-cytotoxic doses of AgNPs induced G2/M cell cycle arrest and senescence instead. At the organismal level, SCS following a single intraperitoneal injection was found more toxic to BALB/c mice as compared to SAS. Both particles could be deposited in various target organs (e.g., spleen, liver, and kidneys). Morphological observation, along with serum biochemical and histological analyses, indicated that AgNPs could produce pancreatic toxicity, apart from leading to hepatic inflammation. Conclusions Our integrated in vitro, in silico, and in vivo study revealed that AgNPs exerted toxicity in dose-, cell/organ type- and particle type-dependent manners. More importantly, a single injection of lethal-dose AgNPs (i.e., SCS and SAS) could incur severe damage to pancreas and raise blood glucose levels at the early phase of exposure.

Abstract
SCOPE It has been proposed that endogenously form N-nitroso compounds (NOCs) are partly responsible for the link between red meat consumption and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. As nitrite has been indicated as critical factor in the formation of NOCs, the impact of replacing the additive sodium nitrite (E250) by botanical extracts in the PHYTOME project is evaluated. METHOD AND RESULTS A human dietary intervention study is conducted in which healthy subjects consume 300 g of meat for 2 weeks, in subsequent order: conventional processed red meat, white meat, and processed red meat with standard or reduced levels of nitrite and added phytochemicals. Consumption of red meat products enriched with phytochemicals leads to a significant reduction in the faecal excretion of NOCs, as compared to traditionally processed red meat products. Gene expression changes identify cell proliferation as main affects molecular mechanism. High nitrate levels in drinking water in combination with processed red meat intake further stimulates NOC formation, an effect that could be mitigated by replacement of E250 by natural plant extracts. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that addition of natural extracts to conventionally processed red meat products may help to reduce CRC risk, which is mechanistically support by gene expression analyses.

Abstract
The eukaryotic ssDNA-binding protein, Replication protein A (RPA), was first discovered almost three decades ago. Since then, much progress has been made to elucidate the critical roles for RPA in DNA metabolic pathways that help promote genomic stability. The canonical RPA heterotrimer (RPA1-3) is an essential coordinator of DNA metabolism that interacts with ssDNA and numerous protein partners to coordinate its roles in DNA replication, repair, recombination and telomere maintenance. An alternative form of RPA, termed aRPA, is formed by a complex of RPA4 with RPA1 and RPA3. aRPA is expressed differentially in cells compared to canonical RPA and has been shown to inhibit canonical RPA function while allowing for regular maintenance of cell viability. Interestingly, while aRPA is defective in DNA replication and cell cycle progression, it was shown to play a supporting role in nucleotide excision repair and recombination. The binding domains of canonical RPA interact with a growing number of partners involved in numerous genome maintenance processes. The protein interactions of the RPA-ssDNA complex are not only governed by competition between the binding proteins but also by post-translation modifications such as phosphorylation. Phosphorylation of RPA2 is an important post-translational modification of the RPA complex, and is essential for directing context-specific functions of the RPA complex in the DNA damage response. Due to the importance of RPA in cellular metabolism, it was identified as an appealing target for chemotherapeutic drug development that could be used in future cancer treatment regimens.

Abstract
Constitutive activation of one or more kinase signaling pathways is a hallmark of many cancers. Here we extend the previously described mass spectrometry-based KAYAK approach by monitoring kinase activities from multiple signaling pathways simultaneously. This improved single-reaction strategy, which quantifies the phosphorylation of 90 synthetic peptides in a single mass spectrometry run, is compatible with nanogram to microgram amounts of cell lysate. Furthermore, the approach enhances kinase monospecificity through substrate competition effects, faithfully reporting the signatures of many signaling pathways after mitogen stimulation or of basal pathway activation differences across a panel of well-studied cancer cell lines. Hierarchical clustering of activities from related experiments groups peptides phosphorylated by similar kinases together and, when combined with pathway alteration using pharmacological inhibitors, distinguishes underlying differences in potency, off-target effects and genetic backgrounds. Finally, we introduce a strategy to identify the kinase, and even associated protein complex members, responsible for phosphorylation events of interest.

Abstract
It was believed that Cdk2-cyclin E complexes are essential to drive cells through the G1-S phase transition. However, it was discovered recently that the mitotic kinase Cdk1 (Cdc2a) compensates for the loss of Cdk2. In the present study, we tested whether Cdk2 can compensate for the loss of Cdk1. We generated a knockin mouse in which the Cdk2 cDNA was knocked into the Cdk1 locus (Cdk1Cdk2KI). Substitution of both copies of Cdk1 by Cdk2 led to early embryonic lethality, even though Cdk2 was expressed from the Cdk1 locus. In addition, we generated Cdk2-/- Cdk1+/Cdk2KI mice in which one copy of Cdk2 and one copy of Cdk1 were expressed from the Cdk1 locus and the Cdk2 gene was deleted from the endogenous Cdk2 locus. We found that both male and female Cdk2-/- Cdk1+/Cdk2KI mice were sterile, similar to Cdk2-/- mice, even though they expressed the Cdk2 protein from the Cdk1 locus in testes. The translocational and cell cycle properties of knockin Cdk2 in Cdk2-/- Cdk1+/Cdk2KI cells were comparable to those of endogenous Cdk2, but we detected premature transcriptional activation of Cdk1 during liver regeneration in the absence of Cdk2. This study provides evidence of the molecular differences between Cdk2 and Cdk1 and highlights that the timing of transcriptional activation and the genetic locus play important roles in determining the function of Cdk proteins in vivo.

Abstract
Cdk1 was proposed to compensate for the loss of Cdk2. Here we present evidence that this is possible due to premature translocation of Cdk1 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus in the absence of Cdk2. We also investigated the consequence of loss of Cdk2 on the maintenance of the G1/S DNA damage checkpoint. Cdk2(-/-) mouse embryonic fibroblasts in vitro as well as regenerating liver cells after partial hepatectomy (PH) in Cdk2(-/-) mice, arrest promptly at the G1/S checkpoint in response to gamma-irradiation due to activation of p53 and p21 inhibiting Cdk1. Furthermore re-entry into S phase after irradiation was delayed in Cdk2(-/-) cells due to prolonged and impaired DNA repair activity. In addition, Cdk2(-/-) mice were more sensitive to lethal irradiation compared to wild-type and displayed delayed resumption of DNA replication in regenerating liver cells. Our results suggest that the G1/S DNA damage checkpoint is intact in the absence of Cdk2, but Cdk2 is important for proper repair of the damaged DNA.

Abstract
Cyclin A1 and cyclin B1 are overexpressed in various tumors but are present at low levels in normal tissues. Cyclin A1 is restricted to germ cells undergoing meiosis. In order to explore the possibility of using cyclin A1 and cyclin B1 as anticancer targets, we knocked them down in two lung cancer cell lines, H157 and H596, using siRNA. As with cyclin A1 siRNA in lung cancer cell lines, cyclin B1, Cdc2 and CDK2 were all significantly downregulated. The S phase fraction increased significantly, and they eventually underwent apoptosis by way of downregulated intrinsic apoptotic pathways and modulators with upregulated extrinsic apoptotic pathways. Our study suggests that cyclin A1 might be a promising anticancer target specific to lung cancer.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that Cyclin B1 is overexpressed in various tumor types but present at low levels in normal tissues. To explore the possibility of employing Cyclin B1 as an anticancer target, we knocked down Cyclin B1 in an HeLa cell line using RNA interference (RNAi). Subsequently, we monitored cell cycle-related molecules by Western blot together with immunofluorescence and determined cell cycle distribution by flow cytometry. XTT and soft agar colony growth experiments were performed to detect cell viability and proliferation. Furthermore, we analyzed cell apoptosis by measuring Bcl-2 and Bax protein level and DNA-ladder assay. After performing Cyclin B1 RNAi, Cyclin B1, Cyclin A and Cdk2 protein levels were found to be markedly downregulated, whereas Cdc2 was almost unaffected; S-phase fraction increased significantly; HeLa cell viability and cell colony forming ability were markedly diminished after the RNAi; Bcl-2 was noticeably attenuated but Bax was hardly changed; and HeLa cells displayed typical DNA ladder. The loss of Cyclin B1 resulted in the downregulation of Cyclin A and Cdk2, S-phase delay and eventually led to cell apoptosis and the decrease of cell viability and proliferation. Our studies suggest that Cyclin B1 may be a promising anticancer target.

Abstract
Cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) are activated by cyclin binding and phosphorylation by the Cdk-activating kinase (CAK). Activation of Cdk6 by the D-type cyclins requires phosphorylation of Cdk6 by CAK on threonine 177. In contrast, Cdk6 is activated by the Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV)-cyclin in the absence and presence of CAK phosphorylation. The activity of Cdk6.KSHV-cyclin complexes was investigated here by analyzing mutants of the KSHV-cyclin and Cdk6 in vitro as well as in U2OS cells. Deletion of the N terminus of the KSHV-cyclin affects the substrate specificity indicating that the N terminus is required for phosphorylation of histone H1 but not for other substrates. Mutation of residues in the region 180-200 of the KSHV-cyclin decreases the binding affinity to Cdk6 in U2OS cells but increases the activity of Cdk6.KSHV-cyclin complexes in vitro indicating that low affinity binding of cyclins to the Cdk subunit might favor increased on- or off-rates of Cdk substrates. Expression of high levels of p16(INK4a) in cells leads to the formation of a heterotrimeric complex composed of Cdk6, KSHV-cyclin, and p16(INK4a). Some of the Cdk6 .KSHV-cyclin.p16 complexes were found to be active indicating that there might be different modes of p16 binding to Cdk6.cyclin complexes.

Abstract
Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (cdk5), in contrast to other members of the cyclin-dependent kinase family, is not activated by cyclins but instead is activated by complexing with neuron-specific activator molecules (p35, p39, and p67). The most effective activator of cdk5 both in vitro and in vivo is p35. We have taken a kinetic approach to study the interaction between p35, its various truncated forms, and cdk5 to understand better the mechanism of its activation. The cdk5 complexes formed with the truncated forms p25 and p21 produced similar maximum active kinase, whereas the cdk5 complexed with full-length p35 and a further truncated form spanning amino acid residues from 138 to 291, with approximate molecular weight of 16 kDa (p16), produced slightly less (80%) activation than p25. P16 was the smallest fragment of p35 that produced activation equal to or greater than that of full-length p35. By examination of further truncations of p16, we found that a small number of residues, 11 and 4 at the N- and C-termini, respectively, of p16, are essential for cdk5 activation. Further truncation, removing both essential N- and C-terminal domains, produces a peptide with markedly higher affinity for cdk5 compared with the peptides that retain either of these domains. Using these inactive truncated peptides as inhibitors, we examined the kinetics of activation. From these studies we conclude that activation involves at least three cdk5-interacting domains, one located at each end of p16 and at least one located in a central domain. The cdk5 activation process is slow: The second-order rate constant for p16 is about 1.2 microM(-1) hr(-1). On the basis of kinetic data, we suggest that cdk5 exists in two conformations. The inactive kinase conformation predominates in the absence of the activator. Activation occurs in two stages: a rapid and reversible interaction of cdk5 with its activator, which involves only one or two binding domains, followed by a slow stabilization of the active conformation as interaction with all three domains is achieved.

Abstract
Transcription factors of the Sp1 family are targets of several regulatory pathways and can induce or inhibit gene expression. Here we show that Sp1 is associated with a histone 1 kinase activity. This activity is growth regulated and correlates with the expression of cyclin A. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrate, that Sp1 interacts with cyclin A and can be phosphorylated by a cyclin A associated kinase. The interaction is direct and requires the zinc-finger region of Sp1 and the amino-terminal domain of cyclin A. Over-expression of cyclin A enhances the expression of a reporter gene controlled by an Sp1 responsive promoter. Addition of olomoucine, a specific inhibitor of CDK2 and CDC2 activity on the other hand reduces the expression of the reporter. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays suggest that this is due to a reduction of the DNA-binding ability of Sp1 family members. Our results indicate that phosphorylation of Sp1 and other members of the family by a cyclin A/CDK complex may play a role in the growth and cell cycle regulation of its transcriptional activity.

Abstract
DNA replication and mitosis are dependent on the activity of cyclin-dependent protein kinase (CDK) enzymes, which are heterodimers of a catalytic subunit with a cyclin subunit. Cyclin binding to specific individual proteins is thought to provide potential substrates to Cdk. Protein binding by cyclins is assessed in terms of its mechanisms and biological significance, using evidence from diverse organisms including substrate specificity in animal Cdk enzymes containing D-, A-, and B-type cyclins and extensive cyclin gene manipulations in yeasts. Assembly of protein complexes with cyclin/Cdk is noted and the capacity of the cyclin-dependent kinase subunit Cks, in such complex, to extend the range of Cdk substrates is documented and discussed in terms of cell cycle regulation. Cell cycle progression involves changing abundance of individual cyclins, due to changing rates of their transcription or proteolysis, with consequent changes in the substrates of CDK through the cell cycle. Some overlap of the functions of individual cyclins in vivo has been identified by cyclin deletions and is suggested to follow a pattern in which cyclins can commonly complete functions initiated by the preceding cyclins well enough to preserve viability as groups of cyclins are removed by proteolysis. Cyclin accumulation is particularly important in terminating the G1 phase, when it raises CDK activity and starts events leading to DNA replication. It is suggested that plants share this mechanism. The distribution of cyclins and Cdk in maize root tip cells during mitosis and cytokinesis indicates the presence of Cdk1 (Cdc2a) and cyclin CycB1zm;2 at the mature and disassembling preprophase band and the presence of CycB1zm;2 at condensing and condensed chromosomes. Both observations correlate with the earlier-reported capacity of injected metaphase cyclin/CDK to accelerate preprophase band disassembly and chromosome condensation and with observations of the location of Cdk and cyclins in other laboratories. Additionally CycB1zm;2 is seen at the nuclear envelope during its breakdown, which correlates with an acceleration of the process by injected metaphase cyclin B/CDK. A phenomenon possibly unique to the plant kingdom is the persistence of mitotic cyclins after anaphase. Participation of cyclins in cytokinesis is indicated by the concentration of the mitotic cyclin CycA1;zm;1 at the phragmoplast. It is suggested that cyclins have a general function of spatially focusing Cdk activity and that in the plant cell the concentrations of cyclins are important mediators of CDK activity at the cytoskeleton, chromosomes, spindle, nuclear envelope, and phragmoplast.

Abstract
Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is associated with adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). T-cell transformation is mainly due to the actions of the viral phosphoprotein Tax. Tax interacts with multiple transcriptional factors, aiding the transcription of many cellular genes. Here, we report that the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21/waf1 is overexpressed in all HTLV-1-infected cell lines tested as well as in ATL and HAM/TSP patient samples. Tax was found to be able to transactivate the endogenous p21/waf1 promoter, as detected by RNase protection, as well as activate a series of wild-type and 5'-deletion constructs linked to a luciferase reporter cassette. Wild-type but not a mutant form of Tax (M47) transactivated the p21/waf1 promoter in a p53-independent manner and utilized a minimal promoter that contained E2A and TATA box sequences. The p21/waf1 protein was reproducibly observed to be complexed with cyclin A/cdk2 and not with any other known G(1), S, or G(2)/M cyclins. Functionally, the association of p21/cyclin A/cdk2 decreased histone H1 phosphorylation in vitro, as observed in immunoprecipitations followed by kinase assays, and affected other substrates, such as the C terminus of Rb protein involved in c-Abl and histone deacetylase-1 (HDAC1) regulation. Interestingly, upon the use of a stress signal, such as gamma-irradiation, we found that the p21/cyclin A/cdk2 complex was able to block all known phosphorylation sites on the Rb molecule. Finally, using elutriated cell cycle fractions and a stress signal, we observed that the HTLV-1-infected T cells containing wild-type Tax, which had been in early or mid-G(1) phase prior to gamma-irradiation, arrested in G(1) and did not undergo apoptosis. This may be an important mechanism for an oncogenic virus such as HTLV-1 to stop the host at the G(1)/S boundary and to repair the damaged DNA upon injury, prior to S-phase entry.

Abstract
We have previously shown that poly(A) polymerase (PAP) is negatively regulated by cyclin B-cdc2 kinase hyperphosphorylation in the M phase of the cell cycle. Here we show that cyclin B(1) binds PAP directly, and we demonstrate further that this interaction is mediated by a stretch of amino acids in PAP with homology to the cyclin recognition motif (CRM), a sequence previously shown in several cell cycle regulators to target specifically G(1)-phase-type cyclins. We find that PAP interacts with not only G(1)- but also G(2)-type cyclins via the CRM and is a substrate for phosphorylation by both types of cyclin-cdk pairs. PAP's CRM shows novel, concentration-dependent effects when introduced as an 8-mer peptide into binding and kinase assays. While higher concentrations of PAP's CRM block PAP-cyclin binding and phosphorylation, lower concentrations induce dramatic stimulation of both activities. Our data not only support the notion that PAP is directly regulated by cyclin-dependent kinases throughout the cell cycle but also introduce a novel type of CRM that functionally interacts with both G(1)- and G(2)-type cyclins in an unexpected way.

Abstract
Eventually to understand the integrated function of the cell cycle regulatory network, we must organize the known interactions in the form of a diagram, map, and/or database. A diagram convention was designed capable of unambiguous representation of networks containing multiprotein complexes, protein modifications, and enzymes that are substrates of other enzymes. To facilitate linkage to a database, each molecular species is symbolically represented only once in each diagram. Molecular species can be located on the map by means of indexed grid coordinates. Each interaction is referenced to an annotation list where pertinent information and references can be found. Parts of the network are grouped into functional subsystems. The map shows how multiprotein complexes could assemble and function at gene promoter sites and at sites of DNA damage. It also portrays the richness of connections between the p53-Mdm2 subsystem and other parts of the network.

Abstract
The hexameric ATPase p97/yeast Cdc48p has been implicated in a number of cellular events that are regulated during mitosis, including homotypic membrane fusion, spindle pole body function, and ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation. p97/Cdc48p contains two conserved consensus p34cdc2 kinase phosphorylation sites within its second ATP binding domain. This domain is likely to play a role in stabilising the hexameric form of the protein. We therefore investigated whether p97 could be phosphorylated by p34cdc2 kinase in vitro, and whether phosphorylation might influence the oligomeric status of p97. Monomeric, but not hexameric, p97 was phosphorylated by p34cdc2 kinase, as was the p97-associated protein p47. However, phosphorylation by p34cdc2 kinase did not impair subsequent re-hexamerisation of p97, implying that the phosphorylated residue(s) are not critical for interaction between p97 monomers. Moreover, p97 within both interphase and mitotic cytosols was almost exclusively hexameric, suggesting that the activity of p97 is not regulated during mitosis by influencing the extent of oligomerisation.

Abstract
DNA tumour viruses deregulate the mammalian cell cycle to provide a better environment for their replication. Studies of such deregulation have led to the identification of key regulatory steps that normally control the G1-S phase transition of the cell cycle. The balance between the activities of G1-specific cyclin-CDK complexes and their inhibitors is critical. Recent studies suggest that certain herpesviruses disrupt this balance: the viruses encode a cyclin that generates active complexes even in the presence of high inhibitor levels.

Abstract
An important question in the cell cycle field is how cyclin-dependent kinases (cdks) target their substrates. We have studied the role of a conserved hydrophobic patch on the surface of cyclin A in substrate recognition by cyclin A-cdk2. This hydrophobic patch is approximately 35A away from the active site of cdk2 and contains the MRAIL sequence conserved among a number of mammalian cyclins. In the x-ray structure of cyclin A-cdk2-p27, this hydrophobic patch contacts the RNLFG sequence in p27 that is common to a number of substrates and inhibitors of mammalian cdks. We find that mutation of this hydrophobic patch on cyclin A eliminates binding to proteins containing RXL motifs without affecting binding to cdk2. This docking site is critical for cyclin A-cdk2 phosphorylation of substrates containing RXL motifs, but not for phosphorylation of histone H1. Impaired substrate binding by the cyclin is the cause of the defect in RXL substrate phosphorylation, because phosphorylation can be rescued by restoring a cyclin A-substrate interaction in a heterologous manner. In addition, the conserved hydrophobic patch is important for cyclin A function in cells, contributing to cyclin A's ability to drive cells out of the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Thus, we define a mechanism by which cyclins can recruit substrates to cdks, and our results support the notion that a high local concentration of substrate provided by a protein-protein interaction distant from the active site is critical for phosphorylation by cdks.

Abstract
Cdc25 phosphatases play key roles in cell cycle progression by activating cyclin-dependent kinases. In human cells, cdc25 proteins are encoded by a multigene family, consisting of cdc25A, cdc25B and cdc25C. While cdc25A plays a crucial role at the G1/S phase transition, cdc25C is involved in the dephosphorylation and activation of the mitotic kinase, cdc2/cyclinB. In addition, cdc25C itself is regulated by cdc2/cyclinB which then creates a positive feedback loop that controls entry into mitosis. In this study we show that the activity of cdc25B appears during late S phase and peaks during G2 phase. Both in vitro and in vivo cdc25B is activated through phosphorylation during S-phase. Using a cell duplication, microinjection assay we show that ablation of cdc25B function by specific antibodies blocks cell cycle progression in Hs68 cells by inhibition of entry into mitosis. Cdc25B function neither plays a role in later stages of mitosis nor for the inititation of DNA replication. These results indicate that cdc25B is a mitotic regulator that might act as a ‘starter phosphatase’ to initiate the positive feedback loop at the entry into M phase.

Abstract
Exposure of mammalian cells to UV radiation alters gene expression and cell cycle progression; some of these responses may ensure survival or serve as mutation-avoidance mechanisms, lessening the consequences of UV-induced DNA damage. We showed previously that UV irradiation increases phosphorylation of the p34 subunit of human replication protein A (RPA) and that this hyperphosphorylation correlated with loss of activity of the DNA replication complex. To characterize further the role of RPA hyperphosphorylation in the cellular response to UV irradiation and to determine which protein kinases might be involved, we identified by phosphopeptide analysis the sites phosphorylated in the p34 subunit of RPA (RPA-p34) from HeLa cells before and after exposure to 30 J/m2 UV light. In unirradiated HeLa cells, RPA-p34 is phosphorylated primarily at Ser-23 and Ser-29. At least four of the eight serines and one threonine in the N-terminal 33 residues of RPA-p34 can become phosphorylated after UV irradiation. Two of these sites (Ser-23 and Ser-29) are known to be sites phosphorylated by Cdc2 kinase; two others (Thr-21 and Ser-33) are consensus sites for the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK); the fifth site (Ser-11, -12, or -13) does not correspond to the (Ser/Thr)-Gln DNA-PK consensus. All five can be phosphorylated in vitro by incubating purified RPA with purified DNA-PK. Two additional sites, probably Ser-4 and Ser-8, are phosphorylated in vivo after UV irradiation and in vitro by purified DNA-PK. The capacity of purified DNA-PK to phosphorylate many of these same sites on RPA-p34 in vitro implicates DNA-PK or a kinase with similar specificity in the UV-induced hyperphosphorylation of RPA in vivo.

Abstract
Replication protein A [RPA; also known as replication factor A (RFA) and human single-stranded DNA-binding protein] is a single-stranded DNA-binding protein that is required for multiple processes in eukaryotic DNA metabolism, including DNA replication, DNA repair, and recombination. RPA homologues have been identified in all eukaryotic organisms examined and are all abundant heterotrimeric proteins composed of subunits of approximately 70, 30, and 14 kDa. Members of this family bind nonspecifically to single-stranded DNA and interact with and/or modify the activities of multiple proteins. In cells, RPA is phosphorylated by DNA-dependent protein kinase when RPA is bound to single-stranded DNA (during S phase and after DNA damage). Phosphorylation of RPA may play a role in coordinating DNA metabolism in the cell. RPA may also have a role in modulating gene expression.

Abstract
Cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) are required for cell cycle progression. Two potentially significant Cdk substrates in human cells are the human single-stranded binding protein (HSSB or RPA), which plays an essential role in DNA replication, repair, and recombination, and the tumor suppressor p107 which acts to negatively regulate cell growth. In this report we describe the in vitro phosphorylation of these two proteins by Cdks in an attempt to understand how cyclin-substrate interactions direct phosphorylation efficiencies. We show that cyclin A-Cdk2 efficiently phosphorylates the p34 subunit of HSSB (HSSB-p34) alone or as a part of the heterotrimeric complex. In contrast, cyclin E-Cdk2 that is active in phosphorylating histone H1, does not support the phosphorylation of the p34 subunit of HSSB. We provide evidence that this differential phosphorylation results from a specific interaction between HSSB-p34 and cyclin A, but not cyclin E. Thus the observed cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation of HSSB-p34 at the G1 to S transition is most likely catalyzed by cyclin A-Cdk2 initiated by the direct interaction between cyclin A and the HSSB-p34 subunit. These studies are consistent with our previous observation that p107, which directly binds cyclin A, is efficiently phosphorylated by cyclin A-Cdk2 but not cyclin B-associated kinases. Here we further demonstrate that cyclin A only complexes with p107 in its unphosphorylated form. These data suggest a catalytic mechanism by which Cdk acts: substrate targeting by a cyclin-substrate interaction followed by dissociation of the Cdk upon phosphate incorporation allowing the Cdk to become available for the next cycle of phosphorylation.

Abstract
Passage through the cell cycle requires the successive activation of different cyclin-dependent protein kinases (CDKs). These enzymes are controlled by transient associations with cyclin regulatory subunits, binding of inhibitory polypeptides and reversible phosphorylation reactions. To promote progression towards DNA replication, CDK/cyclin complexes phosphorylate proteins required for the activation of genes involved in DNA synthesis, as well as components of the DNA replication machinery. Subsequently, a different set of CDK/cyclin complexes triggers the phosphorylation of numerous proteins to promote the profound structural reorganizations that accompany the entry of cells into mitosis. At present, much research is focused on elucidating the links between CDK/cyclin complexes and signal transduction pathways controlling cell growth, differentiation and death. In future, a better understanding of the cell cycle machinery and its deregulation during oncogenesis may provide novel opportunities for the diagnostic and therapeutic management of cancer and other proliferation-related diseases.

Abstract
Human replication protein A (RPA) is a three subunit protein complex involved in DNA replication, repair, and recombination. We investigated the role of the 34-kDa subunit (p34) of RPA in DNA replication by generating a series of p34 mutants. While deletion of the N-terminal domain of p34 prevented its phosphorylation by both cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) and DNA-dependent kinase, a double point mutant that lacks the major phosphorylation sites for Cdk could be phosphorylated by DNA-dependent kinase. In simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication, RPA containing either of these mutants functioned as efficiently as wild-type RPA. However, mutant RPA containing C-terminally deleted p34 was only marginally active. This indicates that the C-terminal region, but not the phosphorylation domain of p34, is necessary for RPA function in DNA replication. Furthermore, RPA containing the C-terminally deleted p34 mutant could stimulate DNA polymerase alpha, and bind to single-stranded DNAs but was limited in its ability to unwind DNA or interact with SV40 large T antigen (T Ag). These results suggest that RPA p34 interacts with SV40 T Ag during the initiation of SV40 DNA replication and may be necessary for DNA unwinding.

Abstract
An in vitro assay was used to study the role of p34cdc2 in cyclin A-mediated vesicular transport inhibition. It was shown that the S-phase kinase p33cdk2 reduced the effect of cyclin A on transport assays performed with sHeLa cytosol, even though histone kinase was strongly activated. Also, transport with FT210 cytosol (which is temperature-sensitive for p34cdc2) was inhibited by cyclin A only at the permissive temperature. However, the phosphatase inhibitor microcystin inhibited transport without any requirement for p34cdc2 activity. These results show that transport is inhibited by cyclin A via p34cdc2, and also by another kinase, possibly downstream of p34cdc2.
