In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, p34(cdc2) plays a central role controlling the cell cycle. We recently isolated a new gene named srw1(+), capable of encoding a WD repeat protein, as a multicopy suppressor of hyperactivated p34(cdc2). Cells lacking srw1(+) are sterile and defective in cell cycle controls. When starved for nitrogen source, they fail to effectively arrest in G1 and die of accelerated mitotic catastrophe if regulation of p34(cdc2)/Cdc13 by inhibitory tyrosine phosphorylation is compromised by partial inactivation of Wee1 kinase. Fertility is restored to the disruptant by deletion of Cig2 B-type cyclin or slight inactivation of p34(cdc2). srw1(+) shares functional similarity with rum1(+), having abilities to induce endoreplication and restore fertility to rum1 disruptants. In the srw1 disruptant, Cdc13 fails to be degraded when cells are starved for nitrogen. We conclude that Srw1 controls differentiation and cell cycling at least by negatively regulating Cig2- and Cdc13-associated p34(cdc2) and that one of its roles is to down-regulate the level of the mitotic cyclin particularly in nitrogen-poor environments.
