Cdc6 is sequentially regulated by PP2A-Cdc55, Cdc14, and Sic1 for origin licensing in S. cerevisiae
Cdc6, a subunit of the pre-replicative complex (pre-RC), contains multiple regulatory cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk1) consensus sites, SP or TP motifs. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Cdk1 phosphorylates Cdc6-T7 to recruit Cks1, the Cdk1 phospho-adaptor in S

Polarized Cell Growth: Double Grip by CDK1 [PDF]
Precise coupling of cell growth and cell-cycle progression is crucial for achieving cell homeostasis. A recent study sheds light on two distinct roles of cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) in promoting polarized cell growth in budding yeast.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor-dependent cdk1 inhibition prevents G2/M progression in differentiating tetraploid neurons. [PDF]
Neurodegeneration is often associated with DNA synthesis in neurons, the latter usually remaining for a long time as tetraploid cells before dying by apoptosis.

Efficient CRISPR-rAAV engineering of endogenous genes to study protein function by allele-specific RNAi. [PDF]
Gene knockout strategies, RNAi and rescue experiments are all employed to study mammalian gene function. However, the disadvantages of these approaches include: loss of function adaptation, reduced viability and gene overexpression that rarely matches ...

Phosphorylation of survivin at threonine 34 inhibits its mitotic function and enhances its cytoprotective activity [PDF]
Survivin is an essential chromosomal passenger protein required for mitotic progression. It is also an inhibitor of apoptosis and can prevent caspase-mediated cell death.

USP7 limits CDK1 activity throughout the cell cycle
Chemical inhibitors of the deubiquitinase USP7 are currently being developed as anticancer agents based on their capacity to stabilize P53. Regardless of this activity, USP7 inhibitors also generate DNA damage in a p53‐independent manner.

Chemical genetic analyses of quantitative changes in Cdk1 activity during the human cell cycle [PDF]
Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1) controls cell proliferation and is inhibited by promising anticancer agents, but its mode of action and the consequences of its inhibition are incompletely understood.
