Biological context of ccnb1

 

Anatomical context of ccnb1

  • Cyclin B in Xenopus oocytes: implications for the mechanism of pre-MPF activation [5].
  • This kinase activity rises more smoothly than that of the cyclin B-cdc2 complexes and reaches a peak earlier in the cell cycle; indeed, cyclin A is destroyed before nuclear envelope breakdown [6].
  • In spite of similar enzymatic properties of cdk5/p26 and p34cdc2/cyclin B kinase, cdk5/p26 did not display M-phase promoting activity when assayed with a cell-free system of Xenopus egg extract [7].
  • However, the cyclin A-dependent kinase does not induce a dramatic shortening of centrosome-nucleated microtubules whereas the cyclin B-dependent kinase does, as previously reported [8].
  • We have partially characterized this inhibitory pathway as one involving a reversible binding inhibitor of p34cdc2/cyclin B that is tightly associated with cell membranes [9].
 

Associations of ccnb1 with chemical compounds

  • When the blastomeres were treated with nocodazole or latrunculin A at the 8th cell cycle, the amount of cortical cdc2 decreased, but that of cyclin B did not change [3].
  • The 26S, but not the 20S proteasome, digested recombinant 49-kD cyclin B at lysine 57 (K57), producing a 42-kD truncated form [10].
  • The results of this study indicate that the destruction of cyclin B is initiated by the ATP-dependent and ubiquitin-independent proteolytic activity of 26S proteasome through the first cutting in the NH2 terminus of cyclin (at K57 in the case of goldfish cyclin B) [10].
  • However, when all of the Ser phosphorylation sites in the CRS are mutated to Ala to abolish phosphorylation, the mutant cyclin B1Ala is inactivated; activity can be enhanced by mutation of these residues to Glu to mimic phosphoserine, suggesting that phosphorylation of cyclin B1 is required for its biological activity [11].
  • Several of the cdc2 mutants were found to affect the kinetics of cyclin B1 and/or mos-induced GVBD upon coinjection, although none affected the rate of progesterone-induced maturation [12].
 

Physical interactions of ccnb1

  • The 42-kD cyclin was also produced by the digestion of native cyclin B forming a complex with cdc2, a catalytic subunit of MPF, and a fragment transiently appeared during cyclin degradation when eggs were released from metaphase II arrest by egg activation [10].
 

Other interactions of ccnb1

  • Prior ablation of Cdc20, addition of methyl-ubiquitin, or addition of nondestructible Delta90 cyclin B rescues the MI-MII transition in Emi1-inhibited oocytes [13].
  • However, p34cdc2/cyclin B kinase was distinguished from cdk5/p26 by its binding to p13suc1 protein and by its reactivity to anti-p34cdc2 antibodies [7].
  • However, polyadenylation of cyclin B1 and histone B4 mRNA was still observed [14].
