ABSTRACT In budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), the periodic expression of the G2/M-specific gene CLB2 depends on a DNA binding complex that mediates its repression during G1 and activation from the S phase to the exit of mitosis. The switch from low to high expression levels depends on the transcriptional activator Ndd1. We show that the inactivation of the Sin3 histone deacetylase complex bypasses the essential role of Ndd1 in cell cycle progression. Sin3 and its catalytic subunit Rpd3 associate with the CLB2 promoter during the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Both proteins dissociate from the promoter at the onset of the S phase and reassociate during G2 phase. Sin3 removal coincides with a transient increase in histone H4 acetylation followed by the expulsion of at least one nucleosome from the promoter region. Whereas the first step depends on Cdc28/Cln1 activity, Ndd1 function is required for the second step. Since the removal of Sin3 is independent of Ndd1 recruitment and Cdc28/Clb activity it represents a unique regulatory step which is distinct from transcriptional activation.

ABSTRACT We investigated the role of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p21Cip1 and p27Kip1 in cell cycle regulation during hypoxia and reoxygenation. While moderate hypoxia (1 or 0.1% oxygen) does not significantly impair bromodeoxyuridine incorporation, at very low oxygen tensions (0.01% oxygen) DNA replication is rapidly shut down in immortalized mouse embryo fibroblasts. This S-phase arrest is intact in fibroblasts lacking the cyclin kinase inhibitors p21Cip1 and p27Kip1, indicating that these molecules are not essential elements of the arrest pathway. Hypoxia-induced arrest is accompanied by dephosphorylation of pRb and inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinase 2, which results in part from inhibitory phosphorylation. Interestingly, cells lacking the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein also display arrest under hypoxia, suggesting that pRb is not an essential mediator of this response. Upon reoxygenation, DNA synthesis resumes by 3.5 h and reaches aerobic levels by 6 h. Cells lacking p21, however, resume DNA synthesis more rapidly upon reoxygenation than wild-type cells, suggesting that this inhibitor may play a role in preventing premature reentry into the cell cycle upon cessation of the hypoxic stress. While p27 null cells did not exhibit rapid reentry into the cell cycle, cells lacking both p21 and p27 entered S phase even more aggressively than those lacking p21 alone, revealing a possible secondary role for p27 in this response. Cdk2 activity is also restored more rapidly in the double-knockout cells when returned to normoxia. These studies reveal that restoration of DNA synthesis after hypoxic stress, but not the S phase arrest itself, is regulated by p21 and p27.

ABSTRACT Transcription of the MluI cell cycle box (MCB) motif-containing genes at G1 phase is regulated by the MCB-binding factors (MBF) (also called DSC1) in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Upon S-phase arrest, the MBF transcriptional activity is induced through the accumulation of the MBF activator Rep2. In this study, we show that the turnover of Rep2 is attributable to ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. Levels of Rep2 oscillate during the cell cycle, with a peak at G1 phase, coincident with the MBF activity. Furthermore, we show that Rep2 ubiquitination requires the function of the E3 ligase anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C). Ste9 can be phosphorylated by the checkpoint kinase Cds1 in vitro, and its inhibition/phosphorylation at S-phase arrest is dependent on the function of Cds1. Our data indicate that the Cds1-dependent stabilization of Rep2 is achieved through the inhibition/phosphorylation of APC/C-Ste9 at the onset of S-phase arrest. Stabilization of Rep2 is important for stimulating transcription of the MBF-dependent genes to ensure a sufficient supply of proteins essential for cell recovery from S-phase arrest. We propose that oscillation of Rep2 plays a role in regulation of periodic transcription of the MBF-dependent genes during cell cycle progression.

Centrosomes repeatedly reproduce in sea urchin zygotes arrested in S phase, whether cyclin-dependent kinase 1–cyclin B (Cdk1-B) activity remains at prefertilization levels or rises to mitotic values. In contrast, when zygotes are arrested in mitosis using cyclin B Δ-90, anaphase occurs at the normal time, yet centrosomes do not reproduce. Together, these results reveal the cell cycle stage specificity for centrosome reproduction and demonstrate that neither the level nor the cycling of Cdk1-B activity coordinate centrosome reproduction with nuclear events. In addition, the proteolytic events of the metaphase–anaphase transition do not control when centrosomes duplicate. When we block protein synthesis at first prophase, the zygotes divide and arrest before second S phase. Both blastomeres contain just two complete centrosomes, which indicates that the cytoplasmic conditions between mitosis and S phase support centrosome reproduction. However, the fact that these daughter centrosomes do not reproduce again under such supportive conditions suggests that they are lacking a component required for reproduction. The repeated reproduction of centrosomes during S phase arrest points to the existence of a necessary “licensing” event that restores this component to daughter centrosomes during S phase, preparing them to reproduce in the next cell cycle.
