Withdrawal of a single amino acid (arginine) from freely cycling early passage primary human fibroblasts caused a halt to proliferation, characterized by an accumulation of cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. This arrest was accompanied by the suppression of cyclin D1- and cyclin E-associated kinase activities and the appearance of hypophosphorylated retinoblastoma protein. Arginine-deprived cells remained viable for in excess of 4 days and could be made to synchronously reenter the cell cycle by restoration of the amino acid, with kinetics characteristic of exit from a quiescent state. Stimulation of cells arrested by serum withdrawal did not result in S-phase entry when arginine was omitted from the culture medium. Although cyclin DI accumulated on normal schedule, cdk4, which increased following restimulation in amino acid-replete medium, was not induced when arginine was absent. These results suggest that arginine deprivation-in common with other "suboptimal" conditions-inhibits the passage of normal human cells through the restriction point and implicate cdk4 as the key regulatory element in amino acid-sensitive cell cycle control.
