The c-Myc oncoprotein plays an important role in the growth and proliferation of normal and neoplastic cells. To execute these actions, c-Myc is thought to regulate functionally diverse sets of genes that directly govern cellular mass and progression through critical cell cycle transitions. Here, we provide several lines of evidence that c-Myc promotes ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis by directly activating expression of the Cull gene, encoding a critical component of the ubiquitin ligase SCFSKP2. The cell cycle inhibitor p27(kip1) is a known target of the SCFSKP2 complex, and Myc-induced Cull expression matched well with the kinetics of declining p27(kip1) protein. Enforced Cull expression or antisense neutralization of p27(kip1) was capable of overcoming the slow-growth phenotype of c-Myc null primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). In reconstitution assays, the addition of in vitro translated Cull protein alone was able to restore p27(kip1) ubiquitination and degradation in lysates derived from c-myc(-/-) MEFs or density-arrested human fibroblasts. These functional and biochemical data provide a direct link between c-Myc transcriptional regulation and ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis and together support the view that c-Myc promotes G(1) exit in part via Cul1-dependent ubiquitination and degradation of the CDK inhibitor, p27(kip1).
