Abstract

We have isolated a number of cDNAs derived from human mRNAs that are able to substitute for G1 cyclin genes in S. cerevisiae. Several of these encode human cyclins A, B1, and B2. Three novel genes have been identified, which we call cyclins C, D, and E. The novel proteins are sufficiently distantly related to the other members of the cyclin family and to each other as to constitute three new classes of cyclins. Cyclin C and E mRNAs accumulate periodically through the cell cycle, peaking at different times in G1.

      Furthermore, palmitoylation-deficient PSD-95 reduces GluA1 clustering and AMPAR-mediated synaptic transmission (El-Husseini et al., 2000; El-Husseini Ael et al., 2002; Schnell et al., 2002). Cyclin Y (CCNY) is a member of the cyclin protein family that is known to regulate cell division in proliferating cells (Evans et al., 1983; Lew et al., 1991; Noble et al., 1997) but is also expressed in non-proliferating neuronal cells, where it is localized adjacent to the PSD of dendritic spines (Cho et al., 2015). CCNY inhibits the synaptic delivery of AMPARs during glycine-induced long-term potentiation (LTP) in cultured hippocampal neurons, and CCNY overexpression in organotypic hippocampal slices inhibits LTP at the Schaffer collateral-Cornu Ammonis 1 (CA1) synapses (Cho et al., 2015).

      Although initially identified as a potential cell cycle regulator [38,39], CCNC functions to regulate gene transcription in the context of the Mediator complex. As a highly conserved Mediator subunit, CCNC has been shown to play multiple roles in various biological processes including cell proliferation [38–40], cell apoptosis [41,42], and cellular lipid metabolism [37,43]. Recently, we have identified CCNC as an essential regulator for brown adipogenesis in vitro [43].
