In this edition of Cell Cycle M€ ullers et al. have investigated the regulation of checkpoint recovery and cell cycle exit, by investigating Cyclin B1 dynamics in response to DNA damage in single cells. Consistent with previous observations,1–3 M€ ullers et al. find that non-transformed cells respond to DNA damage by translocating Cyclin B1 to the nucleus in a p53- and p21-dependent manner.4 Nuclear translocation of Cyclin B1 is followed by APC/CCdh1 dependent degradation of Cyclin B1. Interestingly, DNA damageinduced nuclear translocation of Cyclin B1 marks Figure 1. DNA damage in p53-proficient cells induces nuclear translocation of Cyclin B1 and subsequent APC/CCdh1 activation, leading to cell cycle exit (top). p53-impaired cells fail to translocate Cyclin B1, and maintain a reversible checkpoint the point-of-no-return (middle). Forced p21-expression or Wip1 inhibition following DNA damage may result in nuclear translocation of Cyclin during the DNA damage B1 and induction of cell cycle exit in p53-impaired cells (bottom). response, as cells with www.landesbioscience.com

fact that Cyclin B1 does not translocate to the nucleus in these cells after DNA damage. Similar mutations were found in cancer patients, highlighting the clinical relevance of these findings. The recent discovery of a Wip1 inhibitor7 makes it possible to investigate whether inhibition of Wip1 in U2OS and other Wip1mutated cells can reactivate a DNA damageinduced cell cycle exit mechanism (Fig. 1, bottom), and possibly improve therapeutic outcome in patients.

from M€ ullers et al, it will be interesting to see if restoration of the cell-cycle exit machinery in these transformed cells can increase sensitivity to DNA damaging agents and potentially decrease therapy resistance. In support of this hypothesis is the finding that forced induction of p21 in U2OS cells can result in the nuclear translocation of inactive Cyclin B1,5 indicating that the underlying cell-cycle exit mechanisms are present yet suppressed in these cells (Fig. 1, bottom). Recently described gain-offunction mutations of Wip1 in U2OS and HCT116 cells were shown to contribute to the suppression of p21-induction upon DNA damage,6 providing a possible explanation for the
