The PHO85 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes a cyclin-dependent kinase involved in both transcriptional regulation and cell cycle progression. Although a great deal is known concerning the structure, function, and regulation of the highly homologous Cdc28 protein kinase, little is known concerning these relationships in regard to Pho85. In this study, we constructed a series of Pho85-Cdc28 chimeras to map the region(s) of the Pho85 molecule that is critical for function of Pho85 in repression of acid phosphatase (PHO5) expression. Using a combination of site-directed and ethyl methanesulfonate-induced mutagenesis, we have identified numerous residues critical for either activation of the Pho85 kinase, interaction of Pho85 with the cyclin-like molecule Pho80, or substrate recognition. Finally, analysis of mutations analogous to those previously identified in either Cdc28 or cdc2 of Schizosaccharomyces pombe suggested that the inhibition of Pho85-Pho80 activity in mechanistically different from that seen in the other cyclin-dependent kinases.

Conjugating Enzyme

Present in organisms ranging from yeast to man, homologues of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme CDC34 have been shown to play important roles in the regulation of cell cycle progression and checkpoint function. Here we analyze the expression and intracellular localization of endogenous CDC34 during mammalian cell cycle progression. We find that CDC34 protein is constitutively expressed during all stages of the cell cycle. Immunofluorescence experiments reveal that during interphase, endogenous CDC34 is localized to distinct speckles in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm. The presence of CDC34 in these compartments has also been established by biochemical fractionation experiments. Interestingly, nuclear localization depends on the presence of specific carboxy-terminal CDC34 sequences that have previously been shown to be required for CDC34's cell cycle function in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Finally, we find that in anaphase and not during early stages of mitosis, CDC34 colocalizes with (beta)-tubulin at the mitotic spindle, implying that it may contribute to spindle function at later stages of mitosis. Taken together, these results support a model in which CDC34 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme functions in the regulation of nuclear and cytoplasmic activities as well as in the process of chromosome segregation at the onset of anaphase in mammalian cells.

Actin Cytoskeleton Organization

The organization of the actin cytoskeleton is essential for several cellular processes. Here we report the characterization of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae novel gene, SDA1, encoding a highly conserved protein, which is essential for cell viability and is localized in the nucleus. Depletion or inactivation of Sda1 cause cell cycle arrest in G(1) by blocking both budding and DNA replication, without loss of viability. Furthermore, sda1-1 temperature-sensitive mutant cells arrest at the non-permissive temperature mostly without detectable structures of polymerized actin, although a normal actin protein level is maintained, indicating that Sda1 is required for proper organization of the actin cytoskeleton. To our knowledge, this is the first mutation shown to cause such a phenotype. Recovery of Sda1 activity restores proper assembly of actin structures, as well as budding and DNA replication. Furthermore we show that direct actin perturbation, either in sda1-1 or in cdc28-13 cells released from G(1) block, prevents recovery of budding and DNA replication. We also show that the block in G(1) caused by loss of Sda1 function is independent of Swe1. Altogether our results suggest that disruption of F-actin structure can block cell cycle progression in G(1) and that Sda1 is involved in the control of the actin cytoskeleton.
