The expression level of human thymidine kinase (hTK) is regulated in a cell-cycle-dependent manner. One of the mechanisms responsible for the fluctuation of TK expression in the cell cycle can be attributed to protein degradation during mitosis. Given the facts that cell-cycle-dependent proteolysis is highly conserved in all eukaryotes and yeast cells are an excellent model system for protein-degradation study, here we report on the use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe to investigate the degradation signal and mechanism required for hTK degradation. We found that the stability of hTK is significantly reduced in mitotic yeasts. Previously, we have observed that Ser-13 is the site of mitotic phosphorylation of hTK in HeLa cells [Chang, Huang and Chi (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 12095—12100]. Here, we further provide evidence that the replacement of Ser-13 by Ala (S13A) renders hTK stable in S. pombe and S. cerevisiae. Most interestingly, we demonstrated that degradation of hTK is impaired in S. cerevisiae carrying a temperature-sensitive mutation in the proteasomal gene pre1-1 or the Skp1-Cullin-1/CDC53-F-box (SCF) complex gene cdc34 or cdc53, suggesting the contribution of the SCF-mediated pathway in hTK degradation. As phosphorylation is a prerequisite signal for SCF recognition, our results implied that phosphorylation of Ser-13 probably contributes to the degradation signal for hTK via the SCF-mediated proteolytic pathway.

A and alpha cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae exhibit an axial budding pattern, whereas a/alpha diploid cells exhibit a bipolar pattern. Mutations in BUD3, BUD4, and AXL1 cause a and alpha cells to exhibit the bipolar pattern, indicating that these genes are necessary to specify the axial budding pattern (Chant, J., and I. Herskowitz. 1991. Cell. 65:1203-1212; Fujita, A., C. Oka, Y. Arikawa, T. Katagi, A. Tonouchi, S. Kuhara, and Y. Misumi. 1994. Nature (Lond.). 372:567-570). We cloned and sequenced BUD4, which codes for a large, novel protein (Bud4p) with a potential GTP-binding motif. Bud4p is expressed and localized to the mother/bud neck in all cell types. Most mitotic cells contain two apparent rings of Bud4 immunoreactive staining, as observed for Bud3p (Chant, J., M. Mischke, E. Mitchell, I. Herskowitz, and J.R. Pringle. 1995. J. Cell Biol. 129: 767-778). Early G1 cells contain a single ring of Bud4p immunoreactive staining, whereas cells at START and in S phase lack these rings. The level of Bud4p is also regulated in a cell cycle-dependent manner. Bud4p is inefficiently localized in bud3 mutants and after a temperature shift of a temperature-sensitive mutant, cdc12, defective in the neck filaments. These observations suggest that Bud4p and Bud3p cooperate to recognize a spatial landmark (the neck filaments) during mitosis and support the hypothesis that they subsequently become a landmark for establishing the axial budding pattern in G1.

The ubiquitin proteasome system plays a pivotal role in controlling the cell cycle. The budding yeast F-box protein Dia2 is required for genomic stability and is targeted for ubiquitin-dependent degradation in a cell cycle–dependent manner, but the identity of the ubiquitination pathway is unknown. We demonstrate that the Hect domain E3 ubiquitin ligase Tom1 is required for Dia2 protein degradation. Deletion of DIA2 partially suppresses the temperature-sensitive phenotype of tom1 mutants. Tom1 is required for Dia2 ubiquitination and degradation during G1 and G2/M phases of the cell cycle, whereas the Dia2 protein is stabilized during S phase. We find that Tom1 binding to Dia2 is enhanced in G1 and reduced in S phase, suggesting a mechanism for this proteolytic switch. Tom1 recognizes specific, positively charged residues in a Dia2 degradation/NLS domain. Loss of these residues blocks Tom1-mediated turnover of Dia2 and causes a delay in G1–to–S phase progression. Deletion of DIA2 rescues a delay in the G1–to–S phase transition in the tom1Δ mutant. Together our results suggest that Tom1 targets Dia2 for degradation during the cell cycle by recognizing positively charged residues in the Dia2 degradation/NLS domain and that Dia2 protein degradation contributes to G1–to–S phase progression.

Centromere identity is defined by nucleosomes containing CENP-A, a histone H3 variant. The deposition of CENP-A at centromeres is tightly regulated in a cell-cycle-dependent manner. We previously reported that the spatiotemporal control of centromeric CENP-A incorporation is mediated by the phosphorylation of CENP-A Ser68. However, a recent report argued that Ser68 phosphoregulation is dispensable for accurate CENP-A loading. Here, we report that the substitution of Ser68 of endogenous CENP-A with either Gln68 or Glu68 severely impairs CENP-A deposition and cell viability. We also find that mice harboring the corresponding mutations are lethal. Together, these results indicate that the dynamic phosphorylation of Ser68 ensures cell-cycle-dependent CENP-A deposition and cell viability.

Abstract In fission yeast, MBF-dependent transcription is inactivated at the end of S phase through a negative feedback loop that involves the co-repressors, Yox1 and Nrm1. Although this repression system is well known, the molecular mechanisms involved in MBF activation remain largely unknown. Compacted chromatin constitutes a barrier to activators accessing promoters. Here, we show that chromatin regulation plays a key role in activating MBF-dependent transcription. Gcn5, a part of the SAGA complex, binds to MBF-regulated promoters through the MBF co-activator Rep2 in a cell cycle-dependent manner and in a reverse correlation to the binding of the MBF co-repressors, Nrm1 or Yox1. We propose that the co-repressors function as physical barriers to SAGA recruitment onto MBF promoters. We also show that Gcn5 acetylates specific lysine residues on histone H3 in a cell cycle-regulated manner. Furthermore, either in a gcn5 mutant or in a strain in which histone H3 is kept in an unacetylated form, MBF-dependent transcription is downregulated. In summary, Gcn5 is required for the full activation and correct timing of MBF-regulated gene transcription.
