“…For instance, the activity of Cdk-2 is needed for the stimulation of histone gene transcription (Zhao et al,2000), which is one of the major events marking the entry into the S phase. To drive cell cycle progression, Cdk-2 should be free of p21 cip1 and p27 kip1 binding (Conradie et al,2010), bound to cyclin E, and allocated to the nucleus to phosphorylate cell cycle regulatory proteins (Brown et al,2004;Lents et al,2002). Mifepristone, ORG-31710 and CDB-2914 affect the nucleocytoplasmic trafficking of Cdk inhibitors p21 cip1 and p27 kip1 , Cdk-2 and its co-factor cyclin E. The antiprogestins also increase p21 cip1 and p27 kip1 abundances in both cytoplasm and nuclear compartments in correlation with decreased Cdk-2 and cyclin E nuclear levels, increased cytoplasmic cyclin E, and a remarkable decline in the activity of Cdk-2 in both subcellular compartments (Goyeneche et al,2007;Goyeneche et al,2011).…”
