Cyclin D-CDK4/6 couple proliferation to membrane and mitochondrial protein supply through a DeSI1 phospho-switch
Cyclin D-CDK4/6 complexes drive cell-cycle entry through an RB-E2F-dependent transcriptional program, but how they coordinate proliferation with the membrane and organelle protein supply required for growth is unclear. We identify DeSI1 as a cyclin D-CDK4/6 substrate whose phosphorylation at S25 converts a latent homodimer into an active monomeric deubiquitylase that recognizes hydrophobic…
