Cyclin A1 is tissue-specifically expressed during
spermatogenesis, but it is also highly expressed in acute myeloid
leukemia (AML). Its pathogenetic role in AML and in the cell cycle of
leukemic blasts is unknown. B-myb is essential for G1/S transition and has been shown to be phosphorylated by the cyclin A2/cdk2 complex. Here it is demonstrated that cyclin A1 interacts with the
C-terminal portion of B-myb as shown by glutathione S-transferase
(GST) precipitation. This interaction is confined to cyclin A1
because binding could not be detected between cyclin A2 and B-myb.
Also, cdk2 was not pulled down by GST-B-myb from U937 lysates. In
addition, co-immunoprecipitation of cyclin A1 and B-myb in leukemic
cells evidenced protein interaction in vivo. Baculovirus-expressed
cyclin A1/cdk2 complexes were able to phosphorylate human as well as
murine B-myb in vitro. Tryptic phosphopeptide mapping revealed that
cyclin A1/cdk2 complexes phosphorylated the C-terminal part of B-myb at
several sites including threonine 447, 490, and 497 and serine 581. These phosphorylation sites have been demonstrated to be important for
the enhancement of B-myb transcriptional activity. Further studies
showed that cyclin A1 cooperated with B-myb to transactivate myb
binding site containing promoters including the promoter of the human
cyclin A1 gene. Taken together, the data suggest that cyclin A1 is a tissue-specific regulator of B-myb function and activates B-myb in
leukemic blasts.
