Article Title: | Differential interaction of the cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) inhibitor p27(Kip1) with cyclin A-Cdk2 and cyclin D2-Cdk4 |
Abstract: | Although p27(Kip1) has been considered a general inhibitor of G1 and S phase cyclin-dependent kinases, we report that the interaction of p27 with two such kinases, cyclin A-Cdk2 and cyclin D-Cdk4, is different. In Mv1Lu cells containing a p27 inducible system, a 6-fold increase over the basal p27 level completely inhibited Cdk2 and cell cycle progression. In contrast, the same or a larger increase in p27 levels did not inhibit Cdk4 or its homologue Cdk6, despite extensive binding to these kinases. A p27-cyclin A-Cdk2 complex formed in vitro was essentially inactive, whereas a p27-cyclin D2-Cdk4 complex was active as a retinoblastoma kinase and served as a substrate for the Cdk-activating kinase Cak. High concentrations of p27 inhibited cyclin D2-Cdk4, apparently by conversion of active complexes into inactive ones by the binding of additional p27 molecules. In contrast to their differential interaction, cyclin A-Cdk2 and cyclin D2-Cdk4 were similarly inhibited by bound p21(Cip1/Waf1). Roles of cyclin A-Cdk2 as a p27 target and cyclin D2- Cdk4 as a p27 reservoir may result from the differential ability of bound p27 to inhibit the kinase subunit in these complexes. |
