p27Kip1 metabolism: a fascinating labyrinth

Adriana Borriello et al. Cell Cycle. 2007.

Abstract

The progression through the phases of cell division cycle is regulated by different cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) complexes. Due to their key function, the activity of cyclin/CDK complexes is controlled by several mechanisms, including the inhibition by a number of proteins collectively defined CDK inhibitors or CKIs. Among the CKIs, p27Kip1 represents a protein of central activity for the control of several phenotypes, including proliferation, differentiation and malignant transformation. p27Kip1 belongs to the growing family of "natively unfolded," "intrinsically disordered" or "intrinsically unstructured" proteins. The disorder proteins present a very large number of possible conformations that, after the binding, converge to a well-defined structure with an extraordinary affinity for the target. As matter of fact, the absence of a pre-existing folding strongly facilitates p27Kip1 interaction with a number of targets. Until recently, p27Kip1 has been solely viewed as a nuclear protein with the function of modulating cyclin-CDK activity and hence, cell cycle progression. However, exhaustive studies have now demonstrated that the protein plays additional roles outside of the nucleus, including, particularly, the control of cell motility. Thus, the cellular localization is of fundamental importance in p27Kip1 function. Accordingly, at least two different mechanisms of degradation, occurring either in the nucleus or in the cytosol, have been observed. Convincing evidences have demonstrated that p27Kip1 is a phosphoprotein showing at least six to eight phosphorylatable residues. However, the precise functional roles of the phosphorylations and the identification of the kinases responsible for the post-synthetic modifications are still debated. In this brief review, we will report the Literature data that connect the post-synthetic modifications of p27Kip1 with its function, localization and metabolism. The picture that emerges demonstrates that several of the pieces of the CKI metabolism are still nebulous.
