Geminin deploys multiple mechanisms to regulate Cdt1 before cell division thus ensuring the proper execution of DNA replication.
Cdc10-dependent transcript 1 (Cdt1) is an essential DNA replication protein whose accumulation at the end of the cell cycle promotes the formation of pre-replicative complexes and replication in the next cell cycle. Geminin is thought to be involved in licensing replication by promoting the accumulation of Cdt1 in mitosis, because decreasing the Geminin levels prevents Cdt1 accumulation and imp...
متن کاملQuaternary structure of the human Cdt1-Geminin complex regulates DNA replication licensing.
All organisms need to ensure that no DNA segments are rereplicated in a single cell cycle. Eukaryotes achieve this through a process called origin licensing, which involves tight spatiotemporal control of the assembly of prereplicative complexes (pre-RCs) onto chromatin. Cdt1 is a key component and crucial regulator of pre-RC assembly. In higher eukaryotes, timely inhibition of Cdt1 by Geminin ...
متن کاملCdt1 downregulation by proteolysis and geminin inhibition prevents DNA re-replication in Xenopus.
In late mitosis and G1, Mcm2-7 are assembled onto replication origins to 'license' them for initiation. At other cell cycle stages, licensing is inhibited, thus ensuring that origins fire only once per cell cycle. Three additional factors--the origin recognition complex, Cdc6 and Cdt1--are required for origin licensing. We examine here how licensing is regulated in Xenopus egg extracts. We show...
متن کاملHuman geminin promotes pre-RC formation and DNA replication by stabilizing CDT1 in mitosis.
Geminin is an unstable inhibitor of DNA replication that negatively regulates the licensing factor CDT1 and inhibits pre-replicative complex (pre-RC) formation in Xenopus egg extracts. Here we describe a novel function of Geminin. We demonstrate that human Geminin protects CDT1 from proteasome-mediated degradation by inhibiting its ubiquitination. In particular, Geminin ensures basal levels of ...

Cdt1 and its inhibitor Geminin are important regulators of replication licensing. In normal cells, a critical balance between these two proteins ensures that firing of each origin along the genome will take place only once per cell cycle. Cdt1 overexpression in cell lines and animals leads to aberrant replication, activates DNA damage checkpoints and predisposes for malignant transformation. Ge...
