Adenovirus E1A proteins can induce quiescent cells to enter S-phase and also affect the expression of cellular genes including various cell cycle regulators. Here we show that human cdc25A, a tyrosine phosphatase involved in regulation of the G1/S-phase transition of the cell cycle, is a target of the adenovirus E1A protein in virus-infected human fibroblasts. Expression of E1A in quiescent fibroblasts leads to a rapid increase in cdc25A phosphatase activity and also increases both cdc25A and cyclin E gene expression. Inhibition of cdc25A function by antibody injection prevents virus-induced entry into S-phase. These results indicate that induction of high levels of cdc25A and its potential positive regulator cyclin E mediates the ability of E1A to induce S-phase in the presence of antiproliferative signals.

D012333	RNA, Messenger	RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D016213	Cyclins	A large family of regulatory proteins that function as accessory subunits to a variety of CYCLIN-DEPENDENT KINASES. They generally function as ENZYME ACTIVATORS that drive the CELL CYCLE through transitions between phases. A subset of cyclins may also function as transcriptional regulators.	Cyclin
