Regulation of B-Myb activity by cyclin D1

Abstract

Evidence obtained during recent years suggests that B-Myb, a highly conserved member of the Myb transcription factor family, plays a key role in cell proliferation. We have shown previously that the activity of B-Myb is stimulated by cyclin A/Cdk2-dependent phosphorylation of the carboxyl-terminus of B-Myb. We have now investigated in more detail the effect of other cyclins on B-Myb. Here, we show that cyclin D1, in contrast to cyclin A, strongly inhibits the activity of B-Myb. This inhibitory effect does not involve increased phosphorylation of B-Myb but seems to rely on the formation of a specific complex of B-Myb and cyclin D1. Our work identifies B-Myb as an interacting partner for cyclin D1 and suggest that the activity of B-Myb during the cell cycle is controlled by the antagonistic effects of cyclin D1 and A. The results presented here suggest a more general role of cyclin D1 as regulator of transcription in addition to the known effect on RB phosphorylation.
