CDK2 and FOXO1: A Fork in the Road for Cell Fate Decisions
Open accessAbstract
It has been well established that cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) including CDK2 and CDK1 play an essential role in mediating cell-cycle arrest, DNA repair and apoptosis in cells with damaged genomes. Following DNA damage, the function of CDKs is inhibited, and therefore cells are arrested at the G(1), S or G(2)/M phase of the cell-division cycle. It is believed that DNA damage-induced cell cycle arrest is important, because it allows cells to either repair the damage and survive or commit to apoptotic cell death. However, the molecular bases for the two cell fate options are not fully understood. Recently, we provided evidence that CDK2 interacts with and phosphorylates the forkhead transcription factor FOXO1. Importantly, activated CDK2 inhibits the pro-apoptotic function of FOXO1. However, in the presence of high levels of double-strand breaks (DSBs) the CDK2-mediated inhibition of FOXO1 is abrogated due to the ablation of CDK2 activity, and therefore the anti-apoptotic function of FOXO1 is restored. Thus, CDK2 silencing-dependent activation of FOXO1 represents a new mechanism that links DNA strand breakage to cell death.

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.
