CDK2 activity is regulated by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation, subcellular localization, cyclin levels, and cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors (CKIs). UsingXenopusegg extracts, we find that degradation of Xic1, aXenopusp21cip1/p27kip1family member, is coupled to initiation of DNA replication. Xic1 turnover requires the formation of a prereplication complex (pre-RC). Additionally, downstream initiation factors including CDK2, Cdc7, and Cdc45, but not RPA or DNA polymerase α, are necessary for activating the degradation system. Xic1 degradation is attenuated following completion of DNA replication. Unlike degradation of p27kip1in mammalian cells, CDK2 activity is not directly involved in Xic1 degradation and interactions between Xic1 and CDK2/cyclin E are dispensable for Xic1 turnover. Interestingly, a C-terminal region (162–192) of Xic1 is essential and apparently sufficient for triggering Xic1 ubiquitination prior to degradation. These observations demonstrate that a direct link exists between DNA replication and CKI degradation.
