Abstract

Recent studies have demonstrated that boundaries separating a cycling cell from a postmitotic neuron are not as concrete as expected. Novel and unique physiological functions in neurons have been ascribed for proteins fundamentally required for cell cycle progression and control. These "core" cell cycle regulators serve diverse postmitotic functions that span various developmental stages of a neuron, including neuronal migration, axonal elongation, axon pruning, dendrite morphogenesis, and synaptic maturation and plasticity. In this review, we detail the nonproliferative postmitotic roles that these cell cycle proteins have recently been reported to play, the significance of their expression in neurons, mechanistic insight when available, and future prospects.

  • DYRK1A can phosphorylate and possibly regulate Cyclin D1 (G1-to-S phase transition and cell proliferation) and p27 (neuronal differentiation and cell cycle exit).

    “This mechanism of action could be attributed to the ability of DYRK1A to phosphorylate and possibly regulate Cyclin D1 (G1-to-S phase transition and cell proliferation) and p27 (neuronal differentiation and cell cycle exit) (Frank and Tsai, 2009; Hindley and Philpott, 2012; Najas et al., 2015; Tejedor and Hammerle, 2011).”

    From Sex-specific developmental alterations in DYRK1A expression in the brain of a Down syndrome mouse model (2024) · cites this paper as Frank and Tsai, 2009

    The Cell cycle section describes cyclin D complexes promoting G1 progression, and the Neuronal differentiation and migration section links p27Kip1 to neuronal differentiation and inhibition of G1 CDKs (page numbers unavailable). But no passage found for DYRK1A phosphorylating or regulating either protein; the paper instead describes CDK5 phosphorylating p27Kip1. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
