Human Roc1 (aka. Hrt1 or Rbx1 in yeast) is identified as a Cul4A interacting protein in a two hybrid screen. Roc1 also interacts with Cul1, Cul2, Cul3, Cul4B and Cul5, suggesting that all cullin based complexes may be ubiquitin ligases. Human Roc1 complexes efficiently ubiquitinate phospho-IκBα in conjunction with the E2 enzyme Ubc5A. Mutation of conserved cysteine residues in Roc1 eliminates ubiquitin ligase activity but does not affect the Roc1-Cul1 interaction.

The structure of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL)/Elongin C/Elongin B (VCB) complex reveals that the VHL/Elongin C interface is based on an intermolecular 4 helical bundle, with three helices donated by the SOCS box of VHL and one helix donated by Elongin C. Sequence similarity between Elongin C and Skp1 and between the SOCS box and the F-box suggests that the Skp1-F-box interaction surface might be of a similar nature. The extensive catalogue of VHL mutations maps out two clusters on the VHL structure, one corresponding to the Elongin C binding site, the other to a possible binding site for a presumptive VHL-interacting partner or substrate.

The tumour suppressor protein VHL targets hypoxia-inducible factors for oxygen-dependent proteolysis. Nature. 399:1999;271-275. HIF-1α and HIF-2α - transcription factors responsible for expression of hypoxia-induced transcripts - are constitutively present in cell lines lacking VHL, regardless of oxygen tension, and co-immunoprecipitate with VHL. In the shift from hypoxic to normoxic conditions, HIF-1α and HIF-2α are degraded in a VHL-dependent manner.
48. 1 phase. Second generation cul-2 mutants often fail in meiosis II with improperly condensed chromatin and such animals never progress beyond early embryogenesis. CUL-2 appears not to have overlapping function with the Cdc53 ortholog CUL-1, mutation of which confers a hyperproliferative phenotype.

The vertebrate securins are identified by virtue of their association with a human Esp1 homolog and also in direct screens for APC substrates. Securin is degraded at metaphase in a destruction box dependent manner. Non-degradable forms of securin block anaphase onset in Xenopus extracts but not spindle disassembly, cyclin B proteolysis, chromosome decondensation or reformation of the nuclear envelope. Human securin is encoded by the oncogene pituitary tumour-transforming growth factor gene (PTTG), which is elevated in many carcinoma cells lines, suggesting that overexpression of securin might lead to genome instability.
52. Cdc20 has only two essential targets, Pds1 and Clb5. The release of Cdc14 from the nucleolus depends on elimination of Pds1, whereas the complete dephosphorylation of Cdh1 by Cdc14 depends on elimination of Clb5. In the simplest model, Clb5 inhibits Cdh1 by overwhelming the Cdc14 phosphatase, although inhibition of Cdc14 itself cannot be excluded at this point. esp1-1 mad2 bub2 triple mutants undertake Clb2 proteolysis with normal kinetics but in the absence of a null allele of ESP1 it is still uncertain if Pds1 inhibits the mitotic exit pathway directly or if its effects are via control of Esp1. The mechanism that coordinates chromosome segregation with mitotic exit in the absence of Pds1 is unknown.

Cell. 93:1998;1067-1076. Genetic analysis shows that the only function of the APC at anaphase is to eliminate Pds1, which is necessary but not sufficient for release of the cohesin subunit Scc1 and sister chromatid separation. Esp1 is identified as a binding partner of Pds1 and shown to trigger dissociation of Scc1 from chromatin and sister chromatid separation, demonstrating that the APC permits anaphase to occur by releasing Esp1 from the inhibitory grasp of Pds1. In addition to its inhibitory action, Pds1 appears to have a positive role in Esp1 function.

On the basis of the fission yeast septation pathway, Byr4 is identified as a new component of the Bub2 branch of the spindle-checkpoint pathway. Deletion of PDS1 and/or MAD2 does not affect the kinetics of sister chromatid separation in unperturbed cells, suggesting Pds1 functions solely in the various checkpoint responses.

65. Uhlmann F., Lottspeich F., Nasmyth K. Sister-chromatid separation at anaphase onset is promoted by cleavage of the cohesin subunit Scc1. Nature. 400:1999;37-42. Esp1 stimulates the release of the cohesin subunit Scc1 from chromatin and the concomitant appearance of an Scc1 cleavage product in an in vitro chromatin association assay. Scc1 is cleaved at two sites by an Esp1-dependent protease activity, which either may or may not reside within Esp1 itself. Mutation of both cleavage sites creates a lethal version of Scc1 that does not dissociate from chromosomes in vivo and that prevents anaphase but not cytokinesis, demonstrating that Scc1 cleavage is necessary to relieve sister chromatid cohesion.
66. 1 phase or cdc14-arrested cells is more responsive to Cdh1 than that isolated from other points in the cell cycle, suggesting additional regulation of the APC particle itself, perhaps by the polo-like kinase Cdc5.
67. Cdh1. Cyclin A/Cdk2 but not cyclin E/Cdk2, is able to efficiently phosphorylate Cdh1 in vitro. A Cdh1 mutant lacking four Cdk consensus phosphorylation sites binds the APC/C constitutively and overrides inhibition by cyclin A.
68. 1-specific transcription factor that drives SIC1 expression. Thus, Cdc14 appears to trigger mitotic exit by reversing the Cdk-mediated phosphorylation of Swi5, Sic1 and Cdh1.
69. Visintin R., Hwang E.S., Amon A. Cfi1 prevents premature exit from mitosis by anchoring Cdc14 phosphatase in the nucleolus. Nature. 398:1999;818-823. Cfi1 (a.k.a. Net1) is isolated as a Cdc14-interacting protein. Overexpression of CFI1 arrests cells in late anaphase with high levels of Clb2-Cdc28 kinase activity. cfi1 mutants are defective in Clb2-Cdc28 inactivation and suppress tem1, dbf2, cdc5, and cdc15 mutations. Cfi1 anchors Cdc14 in the nucleolus, except during a brief window in late anaphase/telophase when Cdc14 is released into the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Intriguingly, Cfi1 bears limited sequence similarity to another phosphatase regulatory subunit, Reg1. Release of Cdc14 from the nucleolus is delayed in esp1-1 mutants, indicating that Esp1 may facilitate activation of the mitotic exit pathway.

Exit from mitosis is triggered by Tem1-dependent release of the protein phosphatase Cdc14 from nucleolar RENT complex. Cell. 97:1999;233-244. Net1 (a.k.a. Cfi1) is discovered as a bypass suppressor of upstream components of the mitotic exit pathway, including Cdc15 and Tem1. Net1 interacts with several proteins including Cdc14 and Sir2, implicating Net1 in the control of mitotic exit and silencing, respectively. Net1 inhibits the phosphatase activity of Cdc14 in vitro. Cdc14 and Net1 co-localize within the nucleolus in a nucleolar complex called RENT (for regulator of nucleolar silencing and telophase) until the end of anaphase, when the mitotic exit pathway triggers release of Cdc14, but not Net1, into the nucleus and cytoplasm.

Cell. 97:1999;245-256. Net1/Cfi1 is isolated as a protein that binds to the silencing factor Sir2. Net1 tethers Sir2 to rDNA in the RENT complex. At the end of mitosis, a fraction of Sir2 redistributes to the nucleus, suggesting a possible connection between rDNA silencing and the cell cycle.

81. Tinker-Kulberg R.L., Morgan D.O. Pds1 and Esp1 control both anaphase and mitotic exit in normal cells and after DNA damage. Genes Dev. 13:1999;1936-1949. Through analysis of the DNA damage response, Pds1 is identified as an inhibitor of mitotic exit. Stabilized versions of Pds1 inhibit Clb2 degradation and prevent release from a cdc15 block. Clb2 degradation is delayed in esp1-1 mutants and sustained overexpression of ESP1 leads to Clb2 degradation in cells arrested by nocodazole or DNA damage, suggesting Pds1 might block mitotic exit by inhibiting Esp1.
82. Cohen-Fix O., Koshland D. Pds1 of budding yeast has dual roles: inhibition of anaphase initiation and regulation of mitotic exit. Genes Dev. 13:1999;1950-1959. A stabilized version of Pds1 blocks Clb2 degradation and cytokinesis, and prevents Cdh1 dephosphorylation. Whereas Clb2 degradation is delayed in esp1 mutants it is abrogated altogether by expression of stabilized Pds1, suggesting that Pds1 blocks Clb2 degradation and cytokinesis by a mechanism independent of Esp1.

Science. 286:1999;1166-1171. Pds1 is identified as a target of the Chk1 kinase, which enforces a metaphase delay in response to DNA damage in budding yeast. In contrast, in fission yeast and mammals, Chk1 arrests cells prior to mitosis via control of inhibitory tyrosine phosphorylation on mitotic CDK complexes. Rad53 appears to act in a parallel branch of the DNA-damage checkpoint response, possibly by inhibiting the polo-like kinase Cdc5 and thereby delaying both anaphase onset and mitotic exit. The latter observation is consistent with the observed role of Cdc5 in recovery from the DNA damage imposed cell cycle arrest.

88. Spruck C.H., Won K.A., Reed S.I. Deregulated cyclin E induces chromosome instability. Nature. 401:1999;297-300. Inappropriate cyclin E activity, either through overexpression of wild-type cyclin E or stabilized forms of cyclin E, causes genome instability in immortalized rat embryo fibroblasts and human breast epithelial cells. Excess cyclin E interferes predominantly with DNA replication, perhaps by preventing formation of pre-replicative origins of DNA replication.
