Cdc6p is an essential component of the pre-replicative complex (pre-RC), which binds to DNA replication origins to promote initiation of DNA replication. Only once per cell cycle does DNA replication take place. After initiation, the pre-RC components are disassembled in order to prevent re-replication. It has been shown that the N-terminal region of Cdc6p is targeted for degradation after phosphorylation by Cyclin Dependent Kinase (CDK). Here we show that Mck1p, a yeast homologue of GSK-3 kinase, is also required for Cdc6 degradation through a distinct mechanism. Cdc6 is an unstable protein and is accumulated in the nucleus only during G1 and early S-phase in wild-type cells. In mck1 deletion cells, CDC6p is stabilized and accumulates in the nucleus even in late S phase and mitosis. Overexpression of Mck1p induces rapid Cdc6p degradation in a manner dependent on Threonine-368, a GSK-3 phosphorylation consensus site, and SCFCDC4. We show evidence that Mck1p-dependent degradation of Cdc6 is required for prevention of DNA re-replication. Loss of Mck1 activity results in synthetic lethality with other pre-RC mutants previously implicated in re-replication control, and these double mutant strains over-replicate DNA within a single cell cycle. These results suggest that a GSK3 family protein plays an unexpected role in preventing DNA over-replication through Cdc6 degradation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We propose that both CDK and Mck1 kinases are required for Cdc6 degradation to ensure a tight control of DNA replication. DNA replication is a fundamental cellular process that takes place in all living organisms. This cellular event has to be tightly regulated to ensure an accurate genome integrity such that DNA replication takes place only once per cell cycle. Here we show a mechanism by which DNA re-replication is controlled by Cyclin Dependent Kinase (CDK) and a yeast GSK-3 kinase (Mck1p) in S. cerevisiae. We found that Mck1p promoted Cdc6 protein degradation. Mck1p targets Cdc6p through a GSK-3 consensus site (T368), and Cdc6p protein degradation was also mediated through the same T368 site. The GSK-3 kinase has diverse cellular functions in higher eukaryotes including roles in tumorigenesis. This finding is particularly important, since this is the first evidence to show that a GSK-3 family kinase regulates DNA replication.
