It has previously been demonstrated that the compound mimosine inhibits cell cycle traverse in late G1 phase prior to the onset of DNA synthesis (Hoffman BD, Hanauske-Abel HM, Flint A, Lalande M: Cytometry 12:26-32, 1991; Lalande M: Exp Cell Res 186:332-339, 1990). These results were obtained by usi

Abstract
A prominent role for the execution of cell cycle and growth regulatory mechanisms within the three‐dimensional context of nuclear architecture is becoming increasingly evident. Signaling pathways and regulatory networks that govern activation and suppression of genes controlling proliferation are functionally integrated for the organization and assembly of transcriptional machinery in nuclear microenvironments. The transcriptional activation of histone genes at the G1/S phase transition (S‐point) is temporarily, functionally, and spatially distinct from transcriptional mechanisms at the restriction point (R‐point). The spatial distinction in R‐point versus S‐point control is the localization of clustered histone gene loci at cajal bodies, which is modulated during the cell cycle. Histone nuclear factor P (HiNF‐P), the principal factor mediating H4 histone gene transcription, is the final link in the signaling cascade that is initiated with growth factor dependent induction of cyclin E/CDK2 kinase activity at the R‐point and culminates in the NPAT‐mediated activation of histone H4 genes through HiNF‐P at the G1/S phase cell‐cycle transition.

## Abstract Cell cycle progression is dependent upon the action of cyclins and their partners the cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs). Each cell cycle phase has its own characteristic cyclin‐CDK combination, cyclin D‐CDK4,6 and cyclin E‐CDK2 being responsible for progression through G~1~‐phase into S‐p
The histone gene is a paradigm for transcriptional control at the G1/S phase transition point in the cell cycle. The histone gene promoter provides a blueprint for integration of regulatory signals which mediate responsiveness to factors controlling competency for cell cycle progression at the initi
