During the terminal differentiation of skeletal myoblasts, the
activities of myogenic factors regulate not only tissue-specific gene
expressions but also the exit from the cell cycle. The induction of
cell cycle inhibitors such as p21 and pRb has been shown to play a
prominent role in the growth arrest of differentiating myoblasts. Here
we report that, at the onset of differentiation, activation by MyoD of
the Rb, p21, and cyclin D3 genes occurs in the absence of new protein
synthesis and with the requirement of the p300 transcriptional
coactivator. In differentiated myocytes, cyclin D3 also becomes
stabilized and is found nearly totally complexed with unphosphorylated
pRb. The detection of complexes containing cyclin D3, cdk4, p21, and
PCNA suggests that cdk4, along with PCNA, may get sequestered into
high-order structures held together by pRb and cyclin D3. Cyclin D3
up-regulation and stabilization is inhibited by adenovirus E1A, and
this correlates with the ability of E1A to promote pRb phosphorylation;
conversely, the overexpression of cyclin D3 in differentiated myotubes
counteracts the E1A-mediated reactivation of DNA synthesis. These
results indicate that cyclin D3 critically contributes to the
irreversible exit of differentiating myoblasts from the cell cycle.
