Abstract
Members of the novel family of proteins that include Drosophila Mip130, Caenorhabditis elegans LIN-9, and mammalian LIN-9 intervene in different cellular functions such as regulation of transcription, differentiation, transformation, and cell cycle progression. Here we demonstrate that LIN-9, designated as Mip/LIN-9, interacts with B-Myb but not with c-Myb or A-Myb. Mip/LIN-9 regulates the expression of B-Myb in a post-transcriptional manner, and its depletion not only decreases the level of the B-Myb protein but also affects the expression of S phase and mitotic genes (i.e. cyclin A, CDK1, and cyclin B). The critical role of Mip/LIN-9 on the expression of S and G(2)/M genes is further supported by the finding that coexpression of Mip/LIN-9 and B-Myb results in the activation of cyclin A and cyclin B promoter-luciferase reporters, and both proteins are detected on the cyclin A and B promoters. Interestingly, although Mip/LIN-9 promoter occupancy peaks earlier than B-Myb, the highest levels of expression of cyclins A and B correlate with the maximum binding of B-Myb to these promoters. These data support the concept that Mip/LIN-9 is required for the expression of B-Myb, and both proteins collaborate in the control of the cell cycle progression via the regulation of S phase and mitotic cyclins.
