Figure 1. Purified fractions from animal ceils required for complete replication in vitro from an SV40 origin of DNA replication (Tsurimoto et al. 1990). fork, and topoisomerase II is required to resolve the two daughter molecules at the end of replication. Identification of all these cellular replication factors allowed us to address the question of cell cycle control of human DNA repIication. In the absence of proteins that perform a function similar to T antigen at cellular origins of replication, we have focused our attention on the cellular protein essential for the formation of the preinitiation complex, RPA. RPA from human cells is a complex of three polypeptides of 70 kD, 34 kD, and 13 kD. The use of monoclonal antibodies made against RPA showed that the amount of RPA was invariant through the cell cycle and that the protein was not phosphorylated in G t (Din et al. 1990). The 34-kD subunit, however, was phosphorylated on serine residues as the cells entered S phase and subsequently dephosphorylated in M phase. As discussed below, RPA from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is also phosphorylated on the middle subunit as the cells enter S phase. Phosphorylation is a common mechanism by which the activities of several proteins are regulated. Hence, phosphorylation of RPA in eukaryotes as diverse as humans and yeast, at exactly the time when the DNA replication apparatus is activated in the cell cycle, suggests that the phosphorylation is involved in G1/S control. We present some of our recent findings on this issue below.
