DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cyclin dependent kinases (Cdks) are the key regulators of cell cycle transitions in eukaryotic cells. Precise coordination of each cell cycle step with the others is essential for cells to correctly transmit an intact genome to each daughter cell. Failure to do so can lead to polyploidy, genomic instability and cancer. Recently work has shown that the Cdc 14-family of protein phosphatases may be important regulators of Cdk activity and play a crucial role in coordinating late mitotic events to maintain genomic stability. We have found that the fission yeast S. pombe Cdc 14 ortholog Clp 1p functions to block further rounds of cell cycle progression if cytokinesis is delayed. Clp 1p carries out this function by regulating Cdk activity and a conserved signaling pathway termed the SIN. Deletion of clp1 makes cells unable to restrain cell cycle progression if cytokinesis is delayed resulting in polyploid cells. The long-term goal of this project is to understand how Clp1p regulates Cdk activity, and how Clp1p is regulated to ensure that mitosis is properly coordinated with cytokinesis. My specific aims are: (1) To determine how release of Clp1p from the nucleus in early mitosis is regulated and how in late mitosis the SIN functions to keep Clp1p out of the nucleus, as well as the significance of this regulation for Clp1p function. (2) To characterize the role of Clp1p phosphorylation in regulating Clp1p activity and/or localization by (A) determining the effect of phosphorylation of on Clp1p phosphatase activity, (B) mapping and mutagenesis of Clp1p phosphorylation sites followed by characterization of the phenotype of Clp1p phosphorylation site mutants. (3) To identify (A) Clp1p interacting protein(s) at different cell cycle stages, as well as (B) Clp1p regulated processes using biochemical and genetic analysis. (4) To test the model that Clp1p regulates Cdk activity by antagonizing a self-activating mechanism by which Cdk1p promotes its own activity by phosphorylating and activating its activator Cdc25p and inhibiting its inhibitor Wee 1p.

描述（由申请人提供）：细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶（Cdks）是真核细胞中细胞周期转换的关键调节因子。每个细胞周期步骤与其他步骤的精确协调对于细胞正确地将完整的基因组传递到每个子细胞至关重要。如果不这样做，可能会导致多倍体，基因组不稳定和癌症。最近的工作表明，Cdc 14蛋白磷酸酶家族可能是Cdk活性的重要调节因子，并在协调晚期有丝分裂事件以维持基因组稳定性方面发挥关键作用。我们发现裂殖酵母S.如果胞质分裂延迟，粟酒酵母Cdc 14直系同源物Clp 1 p的功能是阻断细胞周期进程的进一步循环。Clp 1 p通过调节Cdk活性和称为SIN的保守信号传导途径来执行此功能。如果胞质分裂延迟，clp 1的缺失使细胞不能抑制细胞周期进程，从而导致多倍体细胞。该项目的长期目标是了解Clp 1 p如何调节Cdk活性，以及Clp 1 p如何调节以确保有丝分裂与胞质分裂适当协调。我的具体目标是：（1）研究有丝分裂早期Clp 1 p的释放是如何被调控的，有丝分裂晚期SIN是如何将Clp 1 p排除在细胞核外的，以及这种调控对Clp 1 p功能的意义。(2)通过（A）确定磷酸化对Clp 1 p磷酸酶活性的影响，（B）Clp 1 p磷酸化位点的定位和诱变，随后表征Clp 1 p磷酸化位点突变体的表型，表征Clp 1 p磷酸化在调节Clp 1 p活性和/或定位中的作用。(3)使用生化和遗传分析鉴定（A）不同细胞周期阶段的Clp 1 p相互作用蛋白，以及（B）Clp 1 p调节过程。(4)检测Clp 1 p通过拮抗Cdk 1 p通过磷酸化和激活其激活剂Cdc 25 p并抑制其抑制剂Wee 1 p来促进自身活性的自激活机制来调节Cdk活性的模型。
