KIN28 encodes a C-terminal domain kinase that controls mRNA transcription in Saccharomyces cerevisiae but lacks cyclin-dependent kinase-activating kinase (CAK) activity. of special interest Mol Cell Biol. 15:1995;2983-2992 This paper demonstrates that the closest budding yeast homolog of Cdk7, Kin28, does not function as a Cdc28-activating kinase either in vitro or in vivo. kin28 mutants block transcription (presumably reflecting a role for Kin28 in TFIIH activity) but allow continued Cdc28 phosphorylation even after cyclin synthesis has ceased, showing that the Cdk-activating kinase can phosphorylate monomeric Cdc28 in this organism.

The Cdk-activating kinase (CAK) from budding yeast. of special interest Cell. 86:1996;553-564 This paper reports the successful purification of a Cdk-activating kinase (CAK) activity from budding yeast lysates. Together with [5], this study provides strong evidence that this kinase (called Cak1) is the physiological CAK in yeast. Cak1 is a 43 kDa protein that is surprisingly highly diverged from other known protein kinases.

Following this lead, they examined the connection between Pub1 and regulators of Cdc2 Y15 phosphorylation, and found that Pub1 was required for Cdc25 ubiquitination and degradation.

Cdk2 kinase is required for entry into mitosis as a positive regulator of Cdc2 - cyclin B kinase activity. of outstanding interest Cell. 84:1996;73-82 This paper shows that the Cdk inhibitor p21 inhibits entry into mitosis in Xenopus egg extracts, at concentrations that directly inhibit Cdk2, but not Cdc2. The block to mitosis is accompanied by accumulation of Y15-phosphorylated Cdc2 - cyclin complexes, suggesting a requirement for Cdk2 in order to dephosphorylate Cdc2.

Control of the Cdc2/cyclin B complex in Xenopus egg extracts arrested at a G2/M checkpoint with DNA synthesis inhibitors. of special interest Mol Biol Cell. 6:1995;199-213 The main interest of this paper is a set of careful experiments with nonphosphorylatable Cdc2 mutants that reveal the existence of a Y15-independent pathway which blocks mitosis in checkpoint-arrested extracts. A model involving a putative Cdk inhibitor is proposed (see [44]).

Role of inhibitory CDC2 phosphorylation in radiation induced G2 arrest in human cells. of special interest J Cell Biol. 134:1996;963-970 A study in which a human cell line is created containing a cdc2 allele, with an inducible promoter, whose encoded protein cannot be phosphorylated at T14 and Y15. Expression of this allele does not override the arrest resulting from a block in DNA replication, but it does significantly shorten the cell cycle delay induced by DNA-damage.

Two S-phase checkpoint systems, one involving the function of both BIME and Tyr15 phosphorylation of p34cdc2, inhibit NIMA and prevent premature mitosis. of special interest EMBO J. 15:1996;3599-3610 A complex paper presenting interesting data on the requirements for the function of the DNA-replication checkpoint in A. nidulans. A Cdc2 mutant that cannot be phosphorylated at T14 or Y15 overrides the checkpoint delay induced by low doses of replication inhibitors, while concurrent inactivation of bimE is necessary to override the checkpoint delay induced by high doses of replication inhibitors. The authors suggest that Cdc2 phosphorylation leads to decreased synthesis of NIMA, whereas BIME prevents phosphorylation-dependent activation of NIMA: together, these two actions keep NIMA turned off in checkpoint-arrested cells.

A cell cycle checkpoint monitors cell morphogenesis in budding yeast. of outstanding interest J Cell Biol. 129:1995;739-749 This paper describes a novel cell cycle checkpoint that comes into play when bud formation is compromized in yeast. Mutants that prevent polarization of the actin cytoskeleton are shown to undergo a cell cycle delay following DNA replication but prior to nuclear division. The delay is caused by a delayed induction of Clb - Cdc28 activity, primarily due to Y15 phosphorylation of Cdc28.

Human cyclins B1 and B2 are localized to strikingly different structures: B1 to microtubules, B2 primarily to the Golgi apparatus. of outstanding interest EMBO J. 14:1995;1646-1654 This paper documents the distinct subcellular localizations of two highly related cyclins of the same class, namely cyclins B1 and B2. The localization of these cyclins to structures that undergo dramatic reorganization during the cell cycle is suggestive that individual cyclins are specialized for inducing localized changes in distinct structures.
