Proper CycE–Cdk2 activity in endocycling tissues requires regulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor Dacapo by dE2F1b in Drosophila

Abstract: Polyploidy is an integral part of development and is associated with cellular stress, aging, and pathological conditions. The endocycle, comprised of successive rounds of G and S phases without mitosis, is widely employed to produce polyploid cells in plants and animals. In Drosophila, maintenance of the endocycle is dependent on E2F-governed oscillations of Cyclin E (CycE)–Cdk2 activity, which is known to be largely regulated at the level of transcription. In this study, we report an additional level of E2F-d… Show more

“…The expression of genes from the CDK family is critical for repairing and maintaining the integrity of the plant genome, as intense ultraviolet (UV) light can induce DNA damage by pyrimidine dimers (Kim et al, 2021). Therefore, the observed repression of the cdc2a gene in plants treated with the particle lm suggests that the treatment may provide additional protection against the harmful effects of UV radiation, leading to improved growth and productivity under stressful environmental conditions.…”

“…The reason may be that in contrast to diploid cells, the E2F (transcription regulator of many genes involved in the S-phase progression) acts upstream of cyclin E. In particular, the synthesis of ribonucleotide reductase is under control of E2F. It can be assumed that the ectopic expression of cyclin E triggers S phase without activating some genes necessary for the complete passage of the S phase (Edgar et al 2014 ; Kim et al 2021 ; Dimova and Dyson 2005 ). Possibly, that the cells enter the induced S phase with a limited amount of nucleotides.…”

“…E2F family transcription factors not only play roles in mitosis, but are also important in the regulation of endoreduplication (De Veylder et al ., 2002; Zybina & Zybina, 2020). In Drosophila , the maintenance of the endocycle process depends on E2F‐mediated molecular oscillators of cyclin E/CDK2 activity (Zielke et al ., 2011; Kim et al ., 2021). E2F4 is a member of the canonical E2F transcription factor family and usually represents the predominant E2F activity in cells (Cuitiño et al ., 2019; Hsu et al ., 2019).…”
