Numerous experiments have defined a critical role for the G(1) cyclins and associated kinases in allowing a normal progression of cells from a quiescent state, through G(1), and into S phase. We now demonstrate that G(1) cyclin-dependent kinase activity is critical for the accumulation of E2F activity late in G(1). Moreover, E2F-1 overexpression can overcome a G(1) arrest caused by the inhibition of G(1) cyclin-dependent kinase activity, consistent with E2F activation being an important consequence of the action of G(1) cyclins. E2F-1 also overcomes a G(1) block caused by gamma irradiation and leads to an apparent complete replication of the cellular genome and entry into mitosis. This E2F-1-mediated induction of S phase and mitosis is not accompanied by the rise in either cyclin D-associated kinase activity or cdk2 activity that is normally observed during the G(1) phase of the cell cycle. We conclude that one key function for G(1) cyclin-dependent kinase activity is the activation of E2F-1, that the accumulation of E2F activity may be sufficient to allow initiation and completion of S phase, but that additional events, including G(1) cyclin kinase activity, are likely necessary for a normal proliferative event.
