Resumen

Un complejo recientemente descubierto que involucra P-TEFb y ARN 7SK regula la actividad de la ARN polimerasa II. Este complejo secuestra P-TEFb, reduciendo su actividad quinasa hasta que se inhibe la transcripción, lo que sugiere un mecanismo de retroalimentación.

Área de la Ciencia:

Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
Regulación genética Reglamento genético.
La bioquímica es la bioquímica.

Sus antecedentes:

La transcripción génica de los eucariotas está regulada por la actividad de la ARN polimerasa II (Pol II).
La fosforilación de la CTD Pol II por P-TEFb es crucial para el alargamiento de la transcripción.
P-TEFb se compone de CDK9 y ciclina T1 o T2.

Objetivo del estudio:

Para investigar la regulación de la actividad de P-TEFb.
Identificar nuevos factores que interactúan con el P-TEFb.
Comprender el papel del ARN 7SK en la regulación de la transcripción.

Principales métodos:

Fraccionamiento celular y aislamiento complejo de células HeLa humanas.
Análisis bioquímicos para medir la actividad de la quinasa.
Análisis de la formación y ruptura del complejo P-TEFb/7SK en diversas condiciones.

Principales resultados:

Más de la mitad de la P-TEFb celular se encuentra en grandes complejos con ARN 7SK.
Estos grandes complejos 7SK/P-TEFb exhiben una actividad de la cinasa CDK9 significativamente menor en comparación con el P-TEFb libre.
La inhibición de la transcripción conduce a la interrupción del complejo 7SK/P-TEFb y al aumento de la actividad de la CDK9.

Conclusiones:

7SK secuestra el ARN P-TEFb, formando un complejo inactivo que modula la actividad del ARN Pol II.
La interacción P-TEFb/7SK representa un mecanismo de retroalimentación dependiente de la transcripción.
Este hallazgo revela una nueva vía reguladora para la transcripción génica eucariota.

Positive Regulator Molecules

Positive Regulator Molecules

To consistently produce healthy cells, the cell cycle—the process that generates daughter cells—must be precisely regulated.

Negative Regulator Molecules

Negative Regulator Molecules

Positive regulators allow a cell to advance through cell cycle checkpoints. Negative regulators have an equally important role as they terminate a cell’s progression through the cell cycle—or pause it—until the cell meets specific criteria.

Positive Regulator Molecules

Positive Regulator Molecules

Mitotic cell division results in daughter cells that exactly resemble the parent cell. However, errors in the DNA replication or distribution of genetic material may lead to genetic mutations that may be passed down to every new cell formed from the resulting abnormal cell. Propagation of such mutant cells is restricted through checkpoint mechanisms present at different stages of the cell cycle. These checkpoints involve regulator molecules that either promote or demote cell cycle events.

Inhibition of Cdk Activity

Inhibition of Cdk Activity

The orderly progression of the cell cycle depends on the activation of Cdk protein by binding to its cyclin partner. However, the cell cycle must be restricted when undergoing abnormal changes. Most cancers correlate to the deregulated cell cycle, and since Cdks are a central component of the cell cycle, Cdk inhibitors are extensively studied to develop anticancer agents. For instance, cyclin D associates with several Cdks, such as Cdk 4/6, to form an active complex. The cyclin D-Cdk4/6 complex...

Anaphase Promoting Complex

Anaphase Promoting Complex

The stepwise destruction of specific proteins is necessary for the progression and completion of the cell cycle. Such proteins are ubiquitinated by ubiquitin ligases and then subsequently destroyed by the proteasome. The SCF (Skp1/Cullin/F-box) and the anaphase-promoting complex (APC) are two important ubiquitin ligases involved in cell cycle progression. While SCF is active throughout the cell cycle, APC gets activated during metaphase to anaphase transition. Cdc20 or Cdh1 binds to APC and...
