Resumen

Las especies reactivas de oxígeno (ROS) modifican las proteínas a través de la S-sulfenilación, impactando la proliferación celular. Este estudio identifica un sitio clave de S-sulfenilación en p21 que regula la progresión y la estabilidad del ciclo celular.

Área de la Ciencia:

Biología celular
La bioquímica
Proteomía

Sus antecedentes:

Las especies reactivas de oxígeno (ROS) son moléculas de señalización cruciales que afectan la proliferación celular y el destino.
La oxidación de los residuos de cisteína (S-sulfenilación) es un mecanismo clave, pero los objetivos y la regulación específicos no están claros.

Objetivo del estudio:

Identificar los eventos de S-sulfenilación coordinados por el ciclo celular utilizando la proteómica redox.
Investigar el papel funcional de la S-sulfenilación en el control de la proliferación celular.

Principales métodos:

Proteómica redox para identificar objetivos de S-sulfenilación.
Análisis de la oxidación de proteínas durante la progresión del ciclo celular.
Ensayos funcionales para determinar el papel de la S-sulfenilación en la regulación de la p21.

Principales resultados:

Se identificó una S-sulfenilación dinámica en un subconjunto de cisteínas, a pesar de la oxidación global constante del proteoma.
Se descubrió una cisteína sensible al oxígeno crítico (C41) en p21, un inhibidor de la cinasa dependiente de la ciclina (CDK).
Se ha demostrado que la oxidación de C41 regula la interacción de p21 con CDK2/CDK4, controlando la estabilidad de p21 y la proliferación celular después de la irradiación.

Conclusiones:

La S-sulfenilación de p21 por ROS es un mecanismo de regulación crítico para el control del ciclo celular.
La oxidación del residuo C41 de p21 influye en su estabilidad y función, afectando las decisiones del destino celular.
Sugiere una coordinación más amplia entre la progresión del ciclo celular y el control redox a través de la S-sulfenilación de múltiples reguladores.

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...

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.

The Cell Cycle Control System

The Cell Cycle Control System

The cell cycle regulation directs how a cell proceeds from one phase to the next and begins mitosis. The cell cycle control system includes intracellular regulatory molecules and external triggers. They provide "stop" or "advance" signals and operate at specific cell cycle stages termed checkpoints to ensure that a particular process is completed before the cell advances to the next phase.
Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) are the primary cell cycle regulators and...

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.

Molecular Factors Affecting Cell Division

Molecular Factors Affecting Cell Division

Several external and internal factors influence the initiation and inhibition of cell division. For instance, the death of nearby cells or the release of human growth hormone (hGH) promotes cell division. In contrast, lack of hGH or crowding of cells can inhibit cell division.
Several proteins function as internal regulators to ensure each cell cycle stage is completed faithfully before proceeding to the next. Regulator molecules may act directly or influence the activity or production of other...

DNA Damage can Stall the Cell Cycle

DNA Damage can Stall the Cell Cycle

In response to DNA damage, cells can pause the cell cycle to assess and repair the breaks. However, the cell must check the DNA at certain critical stages during the cell cycle. If the cell cycle pauses before DNA replication, the cells will contain twice the amount of DNA. On the other hand, if cells arrest after DNA replication but before mitosis, they will contain four times the normal amount of DNA. With a host of specialized proteins at their disposal,cells must use the right protein at...
