Article Title: | E2F and histone deacetylase mediate transforming growth factor β repression of cdc25A during keratinocyte cell cycle arrest |
Abstract: | cdc25A is a tyrosine phosphatase that activates G1 cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdk's). In human keratinocytes, cdc25A expression is down-regulated after the initial drop in Cdk activity caused by cell exposure to the antimitogenic cytokine transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) or removal of serum factors. Here we show that the TGF-β-inhibitory-response element in the cdc25A promoter maps to an E2F site at nucleotides -62 to -55 from the transcription start site. This site is not required for basal transcription in keratinocytes. We provide evidence that the cell cycle arrest program activated by TGF-β in human keratinocytes includes the generation of E2F4- p130 complexes that in association with histone deacetylase HDAC1 inhibit the activity of the cdc25A promoter from this repressor E2F site. This mechanism is part of a program that places keratinocytes in the quiescent state following the initial drop in Cdk activity caused by cell exposure to TGF- β. |
