The authors determine the localization of Tem1 and Lte1 during the cell cycle, and find that the nuclear-positioning defects observed in cells that lack cytoplasmic dynein cause a delay in exit from mitosis due to a failure to release Cdc14 from Cfi1/Net1. A model is proposed whereby the cell uses the position of the nucleus to control mitotic exit By spatially segregating GTPase and GEF activities until the appropriate time, the cell links nuclear migration to mitotic exit.

The localization of the mitotic-exit components, Bub2, Bfa1, Tem1 (on the spindle pole body) and Lte1 (in the bud) is shown. The authors also find that Bub2 and Bfa1 have a role in preventing mitotic exit when astral microtubules are perturbed, whereas the mitotic-spindle checkpoint component Mad2 does not They show that the activity of Bub2-Bfa1 correlates to the position of the mitotic spindle. When nuclear division occurs in the mother cell, which leads to mis-positioning of the mitotic spindle, the MEN Is inhibited in a BUB2-and BFA1-dependent manner. The authors propose that the position of the mitotic spindle controls the timing of mitotic exit.

The authors first show that Bub2-GFP localizes to the cytoplasmic face of the SPB. Then the relative roles of the Bub2 and Mad2 branches of the spindle checkpoint are investigated. When the mitotic spindle is mis-positioned, a proportion of these cells delay mitosis until the spindle is repositioned and consequently, normal cells with 1N DNA content result. However, when BUB2 is deleted, a proportion of these cells mis-segregate DNA due to an inability to delay mitosis. By contrast, deletion of MAD2 has no effect and cells can still delay mitosis until the nucleus is repositioned. A model is proposed whereby the Bub2 checkpoint monitors cytoplasmic microtubule events and the Mad2 checkpoint monitors nuclear microtubule events.

Bub2 and Bfa1 are found to be essential for inhibiting mitotic exit in a DNA-damage-induced metaphase arrest Likewise, Bub2 and Bfa1 are found to be essential for preventing mitotic exit in situations in which the spindle is mis-aligned and anaphase occurs in the mother cell. The authors propose a model in which the Bub2 and Bfa1 GAP is needed for inhibition of the mitotic-exit pathway in all situations in which the cell arrests in G2/M with high CDK activity, such as DNA-damage-and spindle-damage-induced arrests as well as spindle-positioning defects.
58. Adames, N. R., Oberle, J. R. & Cooper, J. A. The surveillance mechanism of the spindle position checkpoint in yeast J. Cell Biol. 153, 159-168 (2001). This paper indicates that the presence of cytoplasmic microtubules in the bud neck might provide an inhibitory signal for the MEN by regulating the activity of Bub2-Bfa1. The authors correlate the loss of cytoplasmic microtubules from the bud neck with exit from mitosis. In mutants defective in cytoplasmic microtubule nucleation, exit from mitosis occurs inappropriately. The authors also propose that LTE1 has no role in controlling the activity of the MEN, at least at high temperatures.

69. +, was identified and proposed to have a reduced role in cell-cycle regulation. Localization of flp1 is similar to that of Cdc14 in S. cerevisiae: it is in the nucleolus and on the SPB during interphase, and becomes re-localized to the mitotic spindles, the nucleus and contractile ring during mitosis. flp1 inhibits mitotic CDKs by regulating the tyrosine 15 phosphorylation of cdc2. The role of the SIN in flp1 release is also discussed, as well as a role for both in the cytokinesis checkpoint The SIN and flp1 seem to be Involved in a feedback loop, and the authors propose that, although flp1 is not the essential effector of the SIN, flp1 might help potentiate SIN signalling.
70. Trautmann, S. et al. Fission yeast Clp1p phosphatase regulates G2/M transition and coordination of cytokinesis with cell cycle progressioa Curr. Biol. 11, 931-940 (2001). clp1+ was identified as a S. cerevisae CDC14 orthologue in S. pombe. The authors show that clp1 functions in G2 by inhibiting cdc2 through regulation of tyrosine 15 phosphorylation. clp1+ is also needed for the cytokinesis checkpoint, which blocks cells in G2 in response to the inability to property form a septum. Clp1 is nucleolar and found on the SPB during interphase, and becomes nuclear and localizes to the septum during mitosis. An active SIN pathway is needed to maintain clp1 release from the nucleolus. The authors conclude that clp1 regulates the cell cycle in a very different way from Cdc14.

The role of the sid1p kinase and cdc14p in regulating the onset of cytokinesis in fission yeast EMBO J. 19, 1803-1815 (2000). sid1 is found to be a new member of the SIN, which works with an associated protein, cdc14. sid1 is shown to function downstream of spg1 and cdc7, but upstream of sid2. The authors find that the SPB localization of sid1 depends both on active spg1 as well as low CDK activity. sid1-cdc14 seems to link septation to mitotic CDK activity, ensuring that septation does not occur until mitotic CDK activity has been reduced.

This paper shows that the mammalian centrosome has an important role in cytokinesis. The behaviour of GFP-tagged centrioles shows a post-anaphase repositioning of the old centriole to the midbody that is essential for cytokinesis, as ablation of the centriole causes defects in cytokinesis.

This study Investigates the effects of destroying centrosomes after prophase. The authors find that although anaphase occurs normally and can produce two acentrosomal daugher cells, cytokinesis is markedly affected with 30-50% of cells failing to execute cytokinesis properly.
