Abstract

SPK1/RAD53/MEC2/SAD1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes an essential protein kinase that is required for activation of replication-sensitive and DNA damage-sensitive checkpoint arrest. We have investigated the regulation of phosphorylation and kinase activity of Spk1p during the cell cycle and by conditions that activate checkpoint pathways. Phosphorylation of Spk1p is induced by treatment of cells with agents that damage DNA or interfere with DNA synthesis. Although only S- and G2-phase cdc mutants arrest with hyperphosphorylated Spk1p, damage-induced phosphorylation of Spk1p can occur in G1 and M as well. Hydroxyurea (HU) induces phosphorylation of kinase-defective forms of Spk1p, demonstrating that this regulated phosphorylation of Spk1p occurs in trans. HU-induced phosphorylation is associated with increased catalytic activity of Spk1p. Furthermore, overexpression of wild-type SPK1, but not checkpoint-defective alleles, delays progression through the G1/S boundary. Damage-dependent phosphorylation of Spk1p requires both MEC1 and MEC3, whereas MEC1 but not MEC3, is required for replication block-induced phosphorylation. These data support the model that Spk1p is an essential intermediate component in a signal transduction p...Continue Reading

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
