Topics Covered
- Somatic cell cycle
- Rb pathway
- Positive regulation of G1 phase by phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein (Rb) by cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks)
- Negative regulation of G1 by Cdk-inhibitory proteins (CKIs)
- Rb pathway is often disrupted in cancers
- Two families of CKIs, differential expression in embryogenesis and adult mouse tissues
- Loss of p18Ink4c and p19ink4d induces male sterility
- Loss of p19Ink4d induces progressive deafness after birth
- Loss of p19Ink4d and p27Kip1 induces re-entry of differentiated postmitotic neurons in cycle after birth
- Loss of Ink4c and Patched or p53 induces medulloblastoma, a pediatric tumor of the cerebellum
- CKIs are required for exit from and maintenance of cell cycle exit, or quiescence, a reversible state
- Loss of CKIs leads to sterility, deafness and cancers
