In fission yeast, regulation of p34cdc2plays an important role in the checkpoint coupling mitosis to completion of DNA replication. Thecdc2mutationscdc2-3w(C67Y) andcdc2-4w(C67F) abolish checkpoint control without seriously affecting normal cell proliferation. However the molecular basis of this phenotype is not known. To better understand the role of p34cdc2in checkpoint control, we have screened for more mutations inSchizosaccharomyces pombe cdc2with this phenotype. We have isolatedcdc2-3wandcdc2-4w,as well as three newcdc2alleles:cdc2-6w(N66I),cdc2-7w(E8V) andcdc2-8w(K9E). The altered residues map to two different regions on opposite faces of the protein, suggesting that the interaction between p34cdc2and components of the checkpoint pathway may be complex. In contrast tocdc2-3wandcdc2-4w, the new mutations alter residues that are conserved between the fission yeastcdc+and other cdks, including the humanCDC2protein. Expression of the equivalent humanCDC2mutants in fission yeast abolishes checkpoint control, suggesting that these residues could be involved in checkpoint-dependent regulation of other eukaryotic cdks.
