The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor, RB, is a
negative regulator of the cell cycle that is inactivated in the
majority of human tumors. Cell cycle inhibition elicited by RB has been
attributed to the attenuation of CDK2 activity. Although ectopic
cyclins partially overcome RB-mediated S-phase arrest at the
replication fork, DNA replication remains inhibited and cells fail to
progress to G2 phase. These data suggest that RB
regulates an additional execution point in S phase. We observed that
constitutively active RB attenuates the expression of specific dNTP
synthetic enzymes: dihydrofolate reductase, ribonucleotide
reductase (RNR) subunits R1/R2, and thymidylate synthase (TS).
Activation of endogenous RB and related proteins by p16ink4a yielded
similar effects on enzyme expression. Conversely, targeted disruption
of RB resulted in increased metabolic protein levels (dihydrofolate
reductase, TS, RNR-R2) and conferred resistance to the effect of TS or
RNR inhibitors that diminish available dNTPs. Analysis of dNTP pools during RB-mediated cell cycle arrest revealed significant depletion, concurrent with the loss of TS and RNR protein. Importantly, the effect
of active RB on cell cycle position and available dNTPs was comparable
to that observed with specific antimetabolites. Together, these results
show that RB-mediated transcriptional repression attenuates available
dNTP pools to control S-phase progression. Thus, RB employs both
canonical cyclin-dependent kinase/cyclin regulation
and metabolic regulation as a means to limit proliferation,
underscoring its potency in tumor suppression.
