摘要

The G1 cyclins play a pivotal role in regulation of cell differentiation and proliferation. The mechanisms underlying their cellspecific roles are incompletely understood. Here, we show that a G1 cyclin, cyclin D2 (CycD2), enhances the activity of transcription factor GATA4, a key regulator of cardiomyocyte growth and differentiation. GATA4 recruits CycD2 to its target promoters, and their interaction results in synergistic activation of GATA-dependent transcription. This effect is specific to CycD2 because CycD1 is unable to potentiate activity of GATA4 and is CDK-independent. GATA4 physically interacts with CycD2 through a discreet N-terminal activation domain that is essential for the cardiogenic activity of GATA4. Human mutations in this domain that are linked to congenital heart disease interfere with CycD2-GATA4 synergy. Cardiogenesis assays in Xenopus embryos indicate that CycD2 enhances the cardiogenic function of GATA4. Together, our data uncover a role for CycD2 as a cardiogenic coactivator of GATA4 and suggest a paradigm for cell-specific effects of cyclin Ds.
