The inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinase activity by p27 contributes to regulation of cell cycle progression. Serine 10 is the major phosphorylation site of p27, and its phosphorylation has been shown to affect the stability and nuclear export of p27 at the G0-G1 transition in transfected cultured cells. To investigate the physiological relevance of p27 phosphorylation on Ser10, we generated p27 "knock-in" mice that harbor an S10A mutation in this protein. Mice homozygous for the mutation (p27(S10A/S10A) mice) were normal in body size, but the abundance of p27 was decreased in many organs, including brain, thymus, spleen, and testis. The stability of p27 in G0 phase was markedly reduced in lymphocytes of p27(S10A/S10A) mice compared with that in wild-type cells, whereas p27 stability in S phase was similar in cells of the two genotypes. The degradation of p27 in cells of the mutant mice at G0 phase was prevented by a proteasome inhibitor. These data indicate that the physiological role of p27 phosphorylation on Ser10 is to stabilize the protein in G0 phase. Unexpectedly, the nuclear export of p27 at the G0-G1 transition occurred normally in p27(S10A/S10A) mouse embryonic fibroblasts, indicating that phosphorylation of Ser10 is dispensable for this process.
