A refined two-hybrid system reveals that SCF(Cdc4)-dependent degradation of Swi5 contributes to the regulatory mechanism of S-phase entry.
Ubiquitin-dependent degradation is implicated in various cellular regulatory mechanisms. The SCF(Cdc4) (Skp1, Cullin/Cdc53, and the F-box protein Cdc4) complex is an ubiquitin ligase complex that acts as a regulator of cell cycle, signal transduction, and transcription. These regulatory mechanisms are not well defined because of the difficulty in identifying the interaction between ubiquitin li...
متن کاملCovalent modifier NEDD8 is essential for SCF ubiquitin-ligase in fission yeast.
A ubiquitin-like modifier, NEDD8, is covalently attached to cullin-family proteins, but its physiological role is poorly understood. Here we report that the NEDD8-modifying pathway is essential for cell viability and function of Pcu1 (cullin-1 orthologue) in fission yeast. Pcu1 assembled on SCF ubiquitin-ligase was completely modified by NEDD8. Pcu1(K713R) defective for NEDD8 conjugation lost t...
متن کاملHuman CUL1 forms an evolutionarily conserved ubiquitin ligase complex (SCF) with SKP1 and an F-box protein.
The SCF ubiquitin ligase complex of budding yeast triggers DNA replication by catalyzing ubiquitination of the S phase cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor SIC1. SCF is composed of three proteins-ySKP1, CDC53 (Cullin), and the F-box protein CDC4-that are conserved from yeast to humans. As part of an effort to identify components and substrates of a putative human SCF complex, we isolated hSKP1 in ...
متن کاملThe G1/S cyclin Cig2p during meiosis in fission yeast.
Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are important for both mitotic and meiotic cell cycles. In fission yeast, the major CDK, Cdc2p is involved in premeiotic DNA replication and in meiosis II. One of its partners, the mitotic cyclin Cdc13p is known to be required for meiosis, whereas there are no studies on the G1/S cyclin Cig2p. In this article, we have studied the regulation of the Cdc2p/Cdc13p an...
متن کاملPirh2 promotes ubiquitin-dependent degradation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27Kip1.
The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27(Kip1) is degraded in late G(1) phase by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, allowing cells to enter S phase. Due to accelerated degradation of p27(Kip1), various human cancers express low levels of p27(Kip1) associated with poor prognosis. S-phase kinase-associated protein 2, the F-box protein component of an SCF ubiquitin ligase complex, is implicated in...
