Retinoblastoma (RB) tumor suppressor family pocket proteins induce
cell cycle arrest by repressing transcription of E2F-regulated genes
through both histone deacetylase (HDAC)-dependent and -independent mechanisms. In this study we have identified a stable complex that
accounts for the recruitment of both repression activities to the
pocket. One component of this complex is RBP1, a known pocket-binding
protein that exhibits both HDAC-dependent and -independent repression
functions. RB family proteins were shown to associate via the pocket
with previously identified mSIN3-SAP30-HDAC complexes containing
exclusively class I HDACs. Such enzymes do not interact directly with
RB family proteins but rather utilize RBP1 to target the pocket. This
mechanism was shown to account for the majority of RB-associated HDAC
activity. We also show that in quiescent normal human cells this entire
RBP1-mSIN3-SAP30-HDAC complex colocalizes with both RB family members
and E2F4 in a limited number of discrete regions of the nucleus that in
other studies have been shown to represent the initial origins of DNA
replication following growth stimulation. These results suggest that RB
family members, at least in part, drive exit from the cell cycle by
recruitment of this HDAC complex via RBP1 to repress transcription from
E2F-dependent promoters and possibly to alter chromatin structure at
DNA origins.
