The DREAM complex: master coordinator of cell cycle-dependent gene expression

Open access
Sadasivam, Subhashini, DeCaprio, James A.·2013·Nature Reviews Cancer

Abstract

The dimerization partner, RB-like, E2F and multi-vulval class B (DREAM) complex provides a previously unsuspected unifying role in the cell cycle by directly linking p130, p107, E2F, BMYB and forkhead box protein M1. DREAM mediates gene repression during the G0 phase and coordinates periodic gene expression with peaks during the G1/S and G2/M phases. Perturbations in DREAM complex regulation shift the balance from quiescence towards proliferation and contribute to the increased mitotic gene expression levels that are frequently observed in cancers with a poor prognosis.

  • The DREAM/MMB complex is a multi-subunit complex with repressive subunits that inhibit gene expression during G1/S and activating subunits that stimulate expression during G2/M.

    “This is a multi-subunit complex that associates with repressive subunits, which inhibit gene expression during G1/S, and with activating subunits, which stimulate gene expression during G2/M.”

    From Regulatory mechanisms that control mitotic kinesins (2015) · cites this paper as [3]

    The sections on mammalian DREAM and BMYB–MuvB complexes and on their switch support a multi-subunit MuvB core that associates with repressive factors or with factors promoting late cell-cycle expression. But the paper places DREAM-mediated repression in quiescent G0 cells, not during G1/S; it says genes repressed in G0 are expressed at the G1/S transition. Page numbers are not available in our copy.

  • DREAM/MMB complexes regulate genes that control kinesin expression.

    “Other important transcriptional networks controlling kinesin expression include those genes regulated by the DREAM/MMB (Myb-MuvB) complexes [3].”

    From Regulatory mechanisms that control mitotic kinesins (2015) · cites this paper as [3]

    The Conclusions and perspectives section says DREAM and BMYB–MuvB regulate cell-cycle-dependent gene expression. Our copy does not identify kinesin expression or kinesin-related genes as targets of these complexes (searched: kinesin, motor proteins, KIF), so the kinesin-specific part is unsupported. (LLM, conf=0.78)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • The pocket proteins p107 and p130, together with E2F4, are members of the multiprotein repressor complex DREAM that binds cell cycle genes during quiescence.

    “The pocket proteins p107 and p130, together with E2F4, are members of the multiprotein repressor complex DREAM that binds cell cycle genes during quiescence.104, 105, 106”

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.
