Preferred Label : Negative Regulation of G1 Phase;
NCIt synonyms : G1 Block; G1 Arrest;
NCIt definition : G1 Arrest consists of cellular biochemical mechanisms, responsive to diverse governing
conditions (DNA damage, contact inhibition, growth factors, etc.), that control cellular
progress through the G1 phase of the cell cycle. G1 progress is controlled by de/phosphorylated
cyclin/CDK complexes. During G1, cycD/CDK phosphorylation of Rb/HDAC repressor permits
E2F/DP1 transcription of genes that promote the G1/S switch and DNA replication. p53
induces p21 inhibition of cycD/CDK; Mdm2 inhibits p53/p21. TGF-b induces p15 inhibition
of cycD/CDK. cAMP induces p27 inhibition of cycD/CDK. GSK3b induction of cycD degradation,
and INK4, Kip, and Cdc25A regulate cycD/CDK activity.;
