Cell cycle regulatory pathways in breast cancer are incompletely described. Here, we report an important role in estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha)-positive breast cancer cells for the protein kinase C1 (PKC1)-interacting protein RBCK1 in supporting cell cycle progression by driving transcription of ER alpha and cyclin B1. RBCK1-depleted cells exhibited increased accumulation in G(2)-M phase of the cell cycle, decreased proliferation, and reduced mRNA levels for ER alpha and its target genes cyclin D1 and c-myc. Chromatin immunoprecipitation revealed that ER alpha transcription is associated with RBCK1 recruitment to the ER alpha promoter, suggesting that transcriptional regulation is one mechanism by which RBCK1 affects ER alpha mRNA levels. G(2)-M phase arrest was mediated independently from reduced ER alpha levels, instead associated with transcriptional inhibition of the key G(2)-M regulator cyclin B1. In breast tumor samples, there was a positive correlation between levels of RBCK1, ER alpha, and cyclin B1 mRNA levels. Our findings suggest that RBCK1 regulates cell cycle progression and proliferation of ER alpha-positive breast cancer cells by supporting transcription of ERa and cyclin B1.
