Ubiquitin-Dependent Proteolysis of Cyclin D1 Is Associated with Coxsackievirus-Induced Cell Growth Arrest
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Coxsackievirus group B3 (CVB3) replication is influenced by host cell cycle status. However, the effect of CVB3 infection on cell cycle regulation and the mechanisms involved are not precisely defined. In this study, we examined cell cycle progression and regulation when the infection was initiated in late G(1) phase of the cell cycle. Analysis of cellular DNA synthesis in infected cells by thymidine incorporation assays showed a significant reduction in [(3)H]thymidine uptake compared to that of sham-infected cells. To further clarify the effects of CVB3 on the host cell cycle, we examined the cell cycle regulatory proteins involved in G(1) progression and G(1)/S transition. Infection resulted in dephosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein and reduced G(1) cyclin-dependent kinase activities, accompanied by decreased levels of G(1) cyclin protein expression (cyclin D1 and cyclin E). We further investigated the mechanisms by which CVB3 infection down-regulates cyclin D1 expression. Northern blotting showed that cyclin D1 mRNA levels were modestly increased following CVB3 infection, suggesting that cyclin D1 regulation occurs by a posttranscriptional mechanism. Viral infection resulted in only a 20 to 30% inhibition of cyclin D1 protein synthesis 3 h postinfection. However, the proteasome inhibitors MG132 and lactacystin prevent CVB3-induced cyclin D1 reduction, indicating that CVB3-induced down-regulation of cyclin D1 is facilitated by ubiquitin-proteasome proteolysis. Finally, using GSK3beta pathway inhibitors, we showed that the reduction of cyclin D1 is GSK3beta independent. Taken together, our results demonstrate that CVB3 infection disrupts host cell homeostasis by blocking the cell cycle at the G(1)/S boundary and induces cell cycle arrest in part through an increase in ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis of cyclin D1.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
