The Pho80-like cyclin of Aspergillus nidulans regulates development independently of its role in phosphate acquisition.

Abstract

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, phosphate acquisition enzymes are regulated by a cyclin-dependent kinase (Pho85), a cyclin (Pho80), the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor Pho81, and the helix-loop-helix transcription factor Pho4 (the PHO system). Previous studies in Aspergillus nidulans indicate that a Pho85-like kinase, PHOA, does not regulate the classic PHO system but regulates development in a phosphate-dependent manner. A Pho80-like cyclin has now been isolated through its interaction with PHOA. Surprisingly, unlike PHOA, An-PHO80 does play a negative role in the PHO system. Similarly, an ortholog of Pho4 previously identified genetically as palcA also regulates the PHO system. However, An-PHO81, a putative cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, does not regulate the PHO system. Therefore, there are significant differences between the classic PHO system conserved between S. cerevisiae and Neurospora crassa compared with that which has evolved in A. nidulans. Most interestingly, under low phosphate conditions, the An-PHO80 cyclin also promotes sexual development while having a negative effect on asexual development. These effects are independent of the role An-PHO80 has in the classic PHO system. However, in high phosphate medium, ...Continue Reading

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.
