Cyclin-mediated inhibition of muscle gene expression via a mechanism that is independent of pRB hyperphosphorylation

It was recently demonstrated that ectopic expression of cyclin D1 inhibits skeletal muscle differentiation and, conversely, that expression of cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) inhibitors facilitates activation of this differentiation program (S. S. Rao, C. Chu, and D. S. Kohtz, Mol. Cell. Biol. 14:5259-5267, 1994; S. S. Rao and D. S. Kohtz, J. Biol. Chem. 270:4093-4100, 1995; S. X. Skapek, J. Rhee, D. B. Spicer, and A. B. Lassar, Science 267:1022-1024, 1995). Here we demonstrate that cyclin D1 inhibits muscle gene expression without affecting MyoD DNA binding activity. Ectopic expression of cyclin D1 inhibits muscle gene activation by both MyoD and myogenin, including a mutated form of myogenin in which two potential inhibitory cdk phosphorylation sites are absent. Because the retinoblastoma gene product, pRB, is a known target for cyclin D1-cdk phosphorylation, we determined whether cyclin D1-mediated inhibition of myogenesis was due to hyperphosphorylation of pRB. In pRB-deficient fibroblasts, the ability of MyoD to activate the expression of muscle-specific genes requires coexpression of ectopic pRB (B. G. Novitch, G. J. Mulligan, T. Jacks, and A. B. Lassar, J. Cell Biol., 135:441-456, 1996). In these cells, the expression of cyclins A and E can lead to pRB hyperphosphorylation and can inhibit muscle gene expression. The negative effects of cyclins A or E on muscle gene expression are, however, reversed by the presence of a mutated form of pRB which cannot be hyperphosphorylated. In contrast, cyclin D1 can inhibit muscle gene expression in the presence of the nonhyperphosphorylatable form of pRB. On the basis of these results we propose that G1 cyclin-cdk activity blocks the initiation of skeletal muscle differentiation by two distinct mechanisms: one that is dependent on pRB hyperphosphorylation and one that is independent of pRB hyperphosphorylation.
