The Retinoblastoma Gene Product Regulates Progression through the G1 Phase of the Cell Cycle
-
of outstanding interest, In this work, the effect of Rb on cell-cycle progression was tested by injecting purified Rb proteins into cells and determining their effect on the cell cycle. Injection of either full-length Rb, or a truncated form of the protein containing the T antigen binding region, in early G1 inhibited progression into S phase. The results indicate that Rb inhibits cell proliferation by restricting cell-cycle progression at a specific point in G1.

Regulation of Retinoblastoma Protein Functions by Ectopic Expression of Human Cyclins
-
of outstanding interest, This report describes experiments in which plasmids encoding various glutathione S-transferase (GST)-cyclin fusion proteins were co-transported with the RB gene. While transfection of RB alone arrests cells in G1, cyclins A and E are able to overcome this arrest; as can cyclin D, although partially. The phosphorylation of the exogenous Rb also increases in the presence of cyclins A and E, but not in the presence of cyclin D. Rb mutants that arrest cell division even in the presence of the cyclins are not hyperphosphorylated in their presence, implying a connection, although not necessarily direct, between cyclin-dependent phosphorylation and the inactivation of Rb's division-arresting activities.

E1A Induces Phosphorylation of the Retinoblastoma Protein Independently of Direct Physical Association between E1A and Retinoblastoma Products
-
of special interest, These authors have tested the notion that binding to the E1A viral on-coprotein could negate the need for Rb phosphorylation in promoting the entry of quiescent cells into the cell cycle. They found that this notion is probably incorrect, at least in baby rat kidney cells, as E1A domain 2 mutants that are severely defective in binding to Rb can still, like wild-type E1A, induce Rb phosphorylation. Therefore, direct physical association with Rb may not be necessary for E1A-mediated entry into the cell cycle, and instead this activity may be the consequence of an induction of Rb phosphorylation.

Mice Deficient for RB are Nonviable and Show Defects in Neurogenesis and Hematopoiesis
-
of outstanding interest, This paper describes the effects of RB gene disruptions in mice. Homozygous mutants were not viable and death occurred in utero between the 14th and 15th day of gestation, with defects in the hematopoietic system as well as the central and peripheral nervous systems. The lethal phenotype could be rescued by the transfer of a human RB mini-transgene into the mutant mice.

Effects of an Rb Mutation in the Mouse
-
of outstanding interest, In this paper, the effects of RB mutations in mice are described (also see [8]). Experiments showed that homozygous mutants were nonviable and exhibited neuronal cell death and defective erythropoiesis. Interestingly, mice heterozygous for the RB mutation did not develop retinoblastoma but were, however, predisposed to malignancy, with some mice developing pituitary tumors.

Requirement of a Functional Rb-1 Gene in Murine Development
-
of special interest, The results reported here are essentially the same as those reported in [7,8]. While heterozygous RB mutant mice appeared to be normal, homozygous mutant embryos die in utero. However, more variability in phenotypes was observed by these authors, as well as an additional abnormality in yolk sac cells.

A cDNA Encoding a pRB-binding Protein with Properties of the Transcription Factor E2F
-
of outstanding interest, In this study, a cDNA, RBP3, encoding an E2F-like protein was cloned by its ability to bind to Rb. This binding was shown to occur in vitro, and the complex could be immunoprecipitated from cell lysates. RBP3 bound preferentially to unphosphorylated Rb, and the complex was disrupted by both cdc2 and cdk2. RBP3 also bound to p107, although with weaker affinity than for Rb. In addition, transient expression of the RBP3 protein activated transcription from the adenovirus E2 promoter dependent upon the presence of E2F binding sites.

Expression Cloning of a cDNA Encoding a Retinoblastoma-binding Protein with E2F-like Properties

of outstanding interest, In this work, which is similar to that described in [19], an E2F-like encoding cDNA, RBAP-1, was cloned by its ability to bind to the Rb portion of a GST-Rb fusion protein. RBAP-1 co-purified with E2F, and was shown to bind to both adenovirus E4 and to the E2F recognition sequence, and to contain a transcriptional-activation domain.

Molecular Cloning of Cellular Genes Encoding Retinoblastoma-associated Proteins: Identification of a Gene with Properties of the Transcription Factor E2F
-
of outstanding interest, This report describes the use of an ‘Rb sandwich’ to screen cDNA expression libraries for Rb-associated proteins. This method led to the isolation of nine distinct cDNA clones, one of which encodes a protein with properties known to be characteristic of the transcription factor E2F (as in [19,20]). The regions on Rb required for the AP12 interaction are similar to the Rb T antigen binding domains. Several other clones are shown to be identical to previously characterized genes.

Retinoblastoma Gene Product Activates Expression of the Human TGF-β2 Gene through Transcription Factor ATF-2
-
of special interest, These investigators used co-transfection of TGF-β2-CAT reporter plasmids with RB-expressing plasmids to study the effect of Rb on the TGF-β2 promoter. The promoter element responsible for an observed Rb-induced transcriptional activation was found to comprise binding sites for the ATF-2 transcription factor. Further, the inclusion of an ATF-2 site renders a promoter Rb responsive, and ATF-2 in nuclear extracts can bind to a GST-Rb fusion protein. It is not clear, however, whether this phenomenon is cell type specific or whether other ATF-2-regulated promoters are influenced by Rb.

C-myc Abrogates G1 Phase Arrest Induced by RB Protein but not by p53
-
of special interest, It was shown by microinjection experiments that the co-injection of Rb protein with c-myc inhibits the ability of Rb to arrest cell-cycle progression. On the other hand, co-injection of EJ-Ras, c-Fos or c-Jun with Rb did not alter the ability of Rb to arrest cell-cycle progression. The c-Myc protein did not affect the activity of another tumor suppressor, p53, indicating that c-Myc and Rb specifically antagonize one another in the cell.

GST-Rb fusion proteins containing the T/E1A-binding domain were used as affinity-binding reagents in the identification of proteins from a number of human tumor cell lines that associated with Rb.

A cDNA Encoding a Retinoblastoma-binding Protein, RbAp48, has Properties Related to MSI1, a Negative Regulator of RAS in Yeast
-
in press, of special interest, Although numerous Rb-associated proteins have now been isolated using a variety of techniques, only a few match or resemble known proteins. In this case, RbAp48, one of several proteins isolated by Rb affinity chromatography, was partially microsequenced and this sequence was used to clone the cognate gene. The predicted RbAp48 amino-acid sequence is 30% identical to that of the yeast SMI1-encoded product, and moreover, the gene encoding RbAp48 can functionally substitute for MSI1 in yeast mutants. The MSI1 gene encodes a downstream negative regulator of yeast Ras2. Because Ras proteins serve as signal transducers in probably all eukaryotes, RbAp48, and thus Rb itself, may be involved in Ras-mediated signal transduction. If this is true, then a problem that must be addressed is how the cytoplasmic Ras signal connects to RbAPp48, which is located in the nucleus.

G1/S Phosphorylation of the Retinoblastoma Protein is Associated with an Altered Affinity for the Nuclear Compartment
-
of special interest, In this paper, evidence for the association of Rb with a cellular structure that is linked to the phosphorylation status of the protein is presented. Using cell fractionation and in situ extraction procedures it was demonstrated that an altered interaction of the Rb protein with the nuclear compartment was correlated with phosphorylation of Rb. The conversion of Rb to a form that is less tightly associated with a nuclear compartment was shown to occur at the G1-S boundary. Several naturally occurring mutants were incapable of forming a tight nuclear association.

The Retinoblastoma Protein is Phosphorylated on Multiple Sites by Human cdc2
-
of special interest, What was clearly a considerable amount of labor yielded the identification of five of the approximately ten sites on the Rb protein that are phosphorylated in vivo. Several other sites are tentatively identified. All of these sites occur within sequences that match the cdc2 kinase consensus target sequence. This corroborates other results, presented both in this paper and in [25], showing that the phosphopeptide map of Rb phosphorylated in vivo closely resembles the map of Rb treated with the cdc2 kinase in vitro.

RB Protein as a Cellular ‘Corral’ for Growth-promoting Proteins

cdc2. These CDKs were identified among several proteins in the cellular lysates that adsorb to an Rb affinity resin. Evidence is also provided that Rb exists in multi-protein, high molecular-weight complexes in vivo, and that purified Rb oligomerizes into microscopic filaments. Together, these findings promoted the suggestion that unphosphorylated Rb participates in a structural compartment that sequestors multiple growth-promoting factors.

The Human cdc2 Kinase Family
-
of special interest, Using PCR amplification with degenerate oligonucleotides corresponding to conserved regions of CDC2, eleven separate protein kinase genes were cloned from Hela cells, and seven of these were novel. The kinases fall into several subgroups based on various criteria including sequence similarity. Thus, together with the several cyclins already known, a family of cdc2-related proteins reveals that the regulation of cell division may be very complex.

PSK-J3/cdc4) for Mammalian D Type G1 Cyclins
-
PSK-J3 (cdk4) is an unusual CDK. This reports extends its unusual properties. In association with D-type cyclins, cdk4 lacks histone H1 kinase activity but readily phosphorylates Rb and p107. Because of this specificity, and because the complex does not interact with an inactive Rb mutant protein, cdk4-cyclin D may be an important Rb kinase.
