Skp2-mediated degradation of p27 regulates progression into mitosis.

Although Skp2 has been thought to mediate the degradation of p27 at the G(1)-S transition, Skp2(-/-) cells exhibit accumulation of p27 in S-G(2) phase with overreplication. We demonstrate that Skp2(-/-)p27(-/-) mice do not exhibit the overreplication phenotype, suggesting that p27 accumulation is required for its development. Hepatocytes of Skp2(-/-) mice entered the endoduplication cycle after mitogenic stimulation, whereas this phenotype was not apparent in Skp2(-/-)p27(-/-) mice. Cdc2-associated kinase activity was lower in Skp2(-/-) cells than in wild-type cells, and a reduction in Cdc2 activity was sufficient to induce overreplication. The lack of p27 degradation in G(2) phase in Skp2(-/-) cells may thus result in suppression of Cdc2 activity and consequent inhibition of entry into M phase. These data suggest that p27 proteolysis is necessary for the activation of not only Cdk2 but also Cdc2, and that Skp2 contributes to regulation of G(2)-M progression by mediating the degradation of p27.
