The conserved Cdc7 kinase regulates various chromosome events. Among them, regulation of initiation of DNA replication at origins is the most conserved and important function of Cdc7. Cdc7 phosphorylates subunits of Mcm in the pre-Replicative Complex, which triggers its association with Sld3-Cdc45 to facilitate formation of the CMG helicase. Cdc7 has also been implicated in cellular responses to replication/genotoxic stress. In yeast, Dbf4, the activation subunit, is a target of replication checkpoint. Phosphorylation of Dbf4 by Rad53 checkpoint kinase is a part of mechanism that inhibits replication initiation in response to replication stress. 1, 2 On the other hand, roles of Cdc7 in checkpoint activation also have been shown. Among them, Mrc1/Claspin is a potential target of Cdc7 kinase in replication checkpoint activation. 3, 4In a recent issue of Cell Cycle, Tudzarova and her colleagues reported a novel genotoxic stress checkpoint that involves Cdc7. 5 Authors found that Cdc7 protein level is significantly reduced in response to genotoxic stress (irradiation or Doxorubicin) in release from serum starvation of IMR90 fibroblast cells. Notably, this reduction depends on p53 function. Furthermore, both transcriptional and post-transcriptional (protein stability) pathways operate for the p53-dependent inhibition of Cdc7 expression. The former is mediated by the p53-miR-192/215-Cdc7, whereas the latter by p53-Fbxw7b (ubiquitin ligase)-p53 pathway. Activation of these pathways inhibited the entry into S phase in the presence of DNA damages.
