Abstract:
Id2 and cyclin D1 share several biological activities, including inhibition of differentiation, stimulation of the G1-S transition in the cell cycle and stimulation of tumorigenesis. Mammary glands of Id2(-/-) mice display severely impaired lobulo-alveolar development during pregnancy, similarly to those of cyclin D1 null females. We investigated the functional relationship between Id2 and cyclin D1 in the mammary gland. Id2(-/-) mammary glands expressed a normal level of cyclin D1. No direct interaction of Id2 with cyclin D1 or its binding partner cdk4 was detected in mammalian two-hybrid assays. Ectopic expression of a cyclin D1 transgene did not rescue the mammary phenotype of Id2(-/-) mice. These results suggest that Id2 acts downstream or independently of cyclin D1 in the control of mammary cell proliferation during pregnancy.

The timing and cell division patterns of meiosis differ between males and females. In male meiosis, the centrosomes are part of the formation of the meiotic spindle. However, in oocytes, including that of humans, Drosophila,...
