| Abstract | Enhanced intracellular iron levels are essential for proliferation of mammalian cells. If cells have entered S phase when iron is limiting, an adequate supply of deoxynucleotides cannot be maintained and the cells arrest with incompletely replicated DNA. In contrast, proliferating cells that are not in S phase, but have low iron pools, arrest in late G1. In this report the mechanism of iron-dependent G1 arrest in normal fibroblasts was investigated. Cells were synchronized in G0 by contact inhibition and serum deprivation. Addition of serum caused the cells to re-enter the cell cycle and enter S phase. However, if the cells were also treated with the iron chelator deferoxamine, S phase entry was blocked. This corresponded to elevated levels of the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor p27Kip1 and inhibition of CDK2 activity. Expression of other cell cycle regulatory proteins was not affected, including the induction of cyclins D1 and E. When the quiescent serum starved cells were supplemented with a readily usable form of iron in the absence of serum or any other growth factors, a significant population of the cells entered S phase. This was associated with downregulation of p27Kip1 and increased CDK2 activity. Using an IPTG-responsive construct to artificially raise p27Kip1 levels blocked the ability of iron supplementation to promote S phase entry. Thus it appears that p27Kip1 is a mediator of G1 arrest in iron depleted Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. We propose that this is part of an iron-sensitive checkpoint that functions to ensure that cells have sufficient iron pools to support DNA synthesis prior to entry into S phase. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
