DNA damage triggers cell cycle arrest to provide a time window for DNA repair. Failure of arrest could lead to genomic instability and tumorigenesis. DNA damage-induced G(1) arrest is generally achieved by the accumulation of Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1 (p21). However, p21 is degraded and does not play a role in UV-induced G(1) arrest. The mechanism of UV-induced G(1) arrest thus remains elusive. Here, we have identified a critical role for CUE domain-containing protein 2 (CUEDC2) in this process. CUEDC2 binds to and inhibits anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome-Cdh1 (APC/C-Cdh1), a critical ubiquitin ligase in G(1) phase, thereby stabilizing Cyclin A and promoting G(1)-S transition. In response to UV irradiation, CUEDC2 undergoes ERK1/2-dependent phosphorylation and ubiquitin-dependent degradation, leading to APC/C-Cdh1-mediated Cyclin A destruction, Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 inactivation, and G(1) arrest. A nonphosphorylatable CUEDC2 mutant is resistant to UV-induced degradation. Expression of this stable mutant effectively overrides UV-induced G(1)-S block. These results establish CUEDC2 as an APC/C-Cdh1 inhibitor and indicate that regulated CUEDC2 degradation is critical for UV-induced G(1) arrest.
