In budding yeast, the protein phosphatase Cdc14 controls exit from mitosis. Its activity is regulated by a competitive inhibitor Cfi1/Net1, which binds to and sequesters Cdc14 in the nucleolus. During anaphase, Cdc14 is released from its inhibitor by the action of two regulatory networks. The Cdc Fourteen Early Anaphase Release (FEAR) network initiates Cdc14 release from Cfi1/Net1 during early anaphase, and the Mitotic Exit Network (MEN) promotes Cdc14 release during late anaphase. Here, we investigate the relationship among FEAR network components and propose an order in which they function to promote Cdc14 release from the nucleolus. Furthermore, we examine the role of the protein kinase Cdc5, which is a component of both the FEAR network and the MEN, in Cdc14 release from the nucleolus. We find that overexpression of CDC5 led to Cdc14 release from the nucleolus in S phase-arrested cells, which correlated with the appearance of phosphorylated forms of Cdc14 and Cfi1/Net1. Cdc5 promotes Cdc14 phosphorylation and, by stimulating the MEN, Cfi1/Net1 phosphorylation. Furthermore, we suggest that Cdc14 release from the nucleolus only occurs when Cdc14 and Cfi1/Net1 are both phosphorylated.

In eukaryotes, cyclin B-bound cyclin-dependent protein kinase 1 promotes mitotic entry but is held in check, in part, by Wee1 protein kinase. Timely mitotic entry in budding yeast requires inactivation of Swe1 (Wee1 ortholog). Perturbations of the septin collar at the bud neck lead to Swe1 stabilization, delaying the G(2)/M transition. Swe1 is recruited to the neck and hyperphosphorylated before ubiquitin-mediated degradation. Hsl1 kinase (Nim1 ortholog), a negative regulator of Wee1, is required for efficient Swe1 localization at the neck but seems not to phosphorylate Swe1. Here, we show that two other kinases targeted sequentially to the neck, Cla4/PAK and Cdc5/Polo, are responsible for stepwise phosphorylation and down-regulation of Swe1. This mechanism links assembly of a cellular structure to passage into mitosis.

In eukaryotes, entry into mitosis is induced by cyclin B-bound Cdk1, which is held in check by the protein kinase, Wee1. In budding yeast, Swe1 (Wee1 ortholog) is targeted to the bud neck through Hsl1 (Nim1-related kinase) and its adaptor Hsl7, and is hyperphosphorylated prior to ubiquitin-mediated degradation. Here, we show that Hsl1 and Hsl7 are required for proper localization of Cdc5 (Polo-like kinase homolog) to the bud neck and Cdc5-dependent Swe1 phosphorylation. Mitotic cyclin (Clb2)-bound Cdc28 (Cdk1 homolog) directly phosphorylated Swe1 and this modification served as a priming step to promote subsequent Cdc5-dependent Swe1 hyperphosphorylation and degradation. Clb2-Cdc28 also facilitated Cdc5 localization to the bud neck through the enhanced interaction between the Clb2-Cdc28-phosphorylated Swe1 and the polo-box domain of Cdc5. We propose that the concerted action of Cdc28/Cdk1 and Cdc5/Polo on their common substrates is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that is crucial for effectively triggering mitotic entry and other critical mitotic events.

Exit from mitosis is regulated by Cdc14, which plays an essential role in triggering cyclin-dependent kinase inactivation. Throughout most of the cell cycle, Cdc14 is sequestered in the nucleolus where it remains inactive. After the completion of anaphase, an essential signaling cascade, named the Mitotic Exit Network, or MEN, promotes Cdc14 release. Cdc14 is also released from the nucleolus in early anaphase by another, nonessential, pathway called FEAR (CdcFourteen Early Anaphase Release). Separase (Esp1), polo kinase (Cdc5), the kinetochore protein Slk19, and Spo12, whose molecular function remains unknown, have been identified as members of the FEAR pathway. In meiosis, mutations in CDC14 and its FEAR pathway regulators, CDC5, SLK19, and SPO12, all result it asci that contain only two diploid spores because of a defect in the ability to exit meiosis I. Thus although the FEAR pathway is dispensible for mitotic exit, it is essential for meiosis I exit. The way that the genes of the Mitotic Exit Network contribute to coordinating meiotic progression is less clear. Here, we explore this issue. Our results demonstrate that the orderly transition from meiosis I to meiosis II is accomplished by eliminating MEN function and using the FEAR pathway to modulate cyclin dependent kinase activity, in part through the actions of SIC1.

In budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Cdc5 kinase is a component of mitotic exit network (MEN), which inactivates cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) after chromosome segregation. cdc5-1 mutants arrest at telophase at the nonpermissive temperature due to the failure of CDK inactivation. To identify more negative regulators of MEN, we carried out a genetic screen for genes that are toxic to cdc5-1 mutants when overexpressed. Genes that encode the B-regulatory subunit (Cdc55) and the three catalytic subunits (Pph21, Pph22, and Pph3) of phosphatase 2A (PP2A) were isolated. In addition to cdc5-1, overexpression of CDC55, PPH21, or PPH22 is also toxic to other temperature-sensitive mutants that display defects in mitotic exit. Consistently, deletion of CDC55 partially suppresses the temperature sensitivity of these mutants. Moreover, in the presence of spindle damage, PP2A mutants display nuclear localized Cdc14, the key player in MEN pathway, indicative of MEN activation. All the evidence suggests the negative role of PP2A in mitotic exit. Finally, our genetic and biochemical data suggest that PP2A regulates the phosphorylation of Tem1, which acts at the very top of MEN pathway.

In the presence of double strand breaks, DNA damage checkpoint halts cell cycle progression. However, cells ultimately escape the checkpoint arrest and reenter cell cycle in the presence of irreparable DNA damage. cdc5-ad was identified as a mutant that fails to adapt to the cell cycle arrest induced by DNA damage checkpoint. In budding yeast, Cdc5 protein kinase is a component of both MEN and FEAR pathways that are required for mitotic exit. It remains unclear whether the adaptation defect of cdc5-ad mutant cells is related to the function of Cdc5 in mitotic exit. Here we present evidence indicating that cdc5-ad mutant cells exhibit defects in mitotic exit. cdc5-ad mutant cells are sensitive to high dosage of Amn1, a negative regulator of MEN. It also shows synthetic growth defects with mutants in MEN pathway. Moreover, mutants in FEAR pathway exhibit defects in DNA damage adaptation. Thus, we conclude that the compromised mitotic exit pathway contributes to DNA damage adaptation defects in cdc5-ad mutant cells.

Protein phosphorylation is a ubiquitous mechanism for cellular signal propagation, and signaling network complexity presents a challenge to protein kinase substrate identification. Few targets of Polo-like kinases are known, despite their significant role in coordinating cell-cycle progression. Here, we combine chemical-genetic, bioinformatic, and proteomic tools for Polo-like kinase substrate identification. Specific pharmacological inhibition of budding yeast Polo-like kinase, Cdc5, resulted in a misaligned preanaphase spindle and subsequently delayed anaphase nuclear migration, revealing a Cdc5 function. A cellular screen for Cdc5 substrates identified Spc72, a spindle pole body (SPB) component and microtubule anchor required for nuclear positioning. Spc72 bound to the Cdc5 PBD in a mitosis-specific manner, was phosphorylated by Cdc5 in vitro, and demonstrated a loss of mitotic phosphorylation in vivo upon Cdc5 inhibition. Finally, an examination of Cdc5 binding by SPB-localized proteins expanded our knowledge of Cdc5 function at the SPB.

In budding yeast, exit from the pachytene stage of meiosis requires the mid-meiosis transcription factor Ndt80, which promotes expression of approximately 200 genes. Ndt80 is required for meiotic function of polo-like kinase (PLK, Cdc5) and cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK), two cell cycle kinases previously implicated in pachytene exit. We show that ongoing CDK activity is dispensable for two events that accompany exit from pachytene: crossover formation and synaptonemal complex breakdown. In contrast, CDC5 expression in ndt80Delta mutants efficiently promotes both events. Thus, Cdc5 is the only member of the Ndt80 transcriptome required for this critical step in meiotic progression.

In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Cdc14 is sequestered within the nucleolus before anaphase entry through its association with Net1/Cfi1, a nucleolar protein. Protein phosphatase PP2A(Cdc55) dephosphorylates Net1 and keeps it as a hypophosphorylated form before anaphase. Activation of the Cdc fourteen early anaphase release (FEAR) pathway after anaphase entry induces a brief Cdc14 release from the nucleolus. Some of the components in the FEAR pathway, including Esp1, Slk19, and Spo12, inactivate PP2A(Cdc55), allowing the phosphorylation of Net1 by mitotic cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) (Clb2-Cdk1). However, the function of another FEAR component, the Polo-like kinase Cdc5, remains elusive. Here, we show evidence indicating that Cdc5 promotes Cdc14 release primarily by stimulating the degradation of Swe1, the inhibitory kinase for mitotic Cdk. First, we found that deletion of SWE1 partially suppresses the FEAR defects in cdc5 mutants. In contrast, high levels of Swe1 impair FEAR activation. We also demonstrated that the accumulation of Swe1 in cdc5 mutants is responsible for the decreased Net1 phosphorylation. Therefore, we conclude that the down-regulation of Swe1 protein levels by Cdc5 promotes FEAR activation by relieving the inhibition on Clb2-Cdk1, the kinase for Net1 protein.

In budding yeast the evolutionarily conserved checkpoint response varies in its sensitivity to DNA damaging agents through the cell cycle. Specifically, higher amounts of damage are needed to activate the downstream checkpoint kinase Rad53 in S-phase cells. We examined here whether phosphorylation of Rad53 itself by cell cycle-dedicated kinases regulates Rad53 activation. We found that during unperturbed growth Rad53 exhibits a small phosphorylation-dependent electrophoretic mobility shift in G(2), M and G(1) phases of the cell cycle that is lost in S phase. We show that Rad53 is phosphorylated in vitro by Cdc5, a mitotic Polo-like kinase, and by the yeast cyclin-dependent kinase, Cdc28. Consistently, the cell cycle-dependent Rad53 mobility shift requires both Cdc5 and Cdc28 activities. We mapped the in vitro targeted phosphorylation sites by mass spectrometry and confirmed with mass spectroscopy that serines 774, 789 and 791 within Rad53 are phosphorylated in vivo in M-phase arrested cells. By creating nonphosphorylatable mutations in the endogenous RAD53 gene, we confirmed that the CDK and Polo kinase target sites are responsible for the observed cell cycle-dependent shift in protein mobility. The loss of phospho-acceptor sites does not interfere with Rad53 activation but accelerates checkpoint adaptation after induction of a single irreparable double-strand break. We thus demonstrate that cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation can fine-tune the response of Rad53 to DNA damage.
