TL;DR: The first quantitative measure for Cdc14 release based on colocalization with the Net1 nucleolar anchor is defined, indicating efficient CDC14 release upon MEN activation; release driven by Esp1 in the absence of microtubules was inefficient and incapable of driving ME.
Abstract: In budding yeast, three interdigitated pathways regulate mitotic exit (ME): mitotic cyclin–cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) inactivation; the Cdc14 early anaphase release (FEAR) network, including a n...

TL;DR: This work has shown that the key mitotic exit phosphatase in budding yeast, Cdc14, is now well understood, and in animal cells, it is now emerging that mitoticexit relies on distinct regulatory networks, including the protein phosphatases PP1 and PP2A.
Abstract: The mitosis-to-interphase transition involves dramatic cellular reorganization from a state that supports chromosome segregation to a state that complies with all functions of an interphase cell. This process, termed mitotic exit, depends on the removal of mitotic phosphorylations from a broad range of substrates. Mitotic exit regulation involves inactivation of mitotic kinases and activation of counteracting protein phosphatases. The key mitotic exit phosphatase in budding yeast, Cdc14, is now well understood. By contrast, in animal cells, it is now emerging that mitotic exit relies on distinct regulatory networks, including the protein phosphatases PP1 and PP2A.

TL;DR: An intrinsically oscillatory module controlling nucleolar release and resequestration of the Cdc14 phosphatase is demonstrated, which is essential for mitotic exit in budding yeast and suggests that the intrinsically autonomous CDC14 release cycles are locked at once-per-cell-cycle through entrainment by the Cdk oscillator in wild-type cells.

TL;DR: A decrease in Cdc42 activation during mitotic exit is necessary to allow localization of key cytokinesis regulators and proper septum formation.
Abstract: The role of Cdc42 and its regulation during cytokinesis is not well understood. Using biochemical and imaging approaches in budding yeast, we demonstrate that Cdc42 activation peaks during the G1/S transition and during anaphase but drops during mitotic exit and cytokinesis. Cdc5/Polo kinase is an important upstream cell cycle regulator that suppresses Cdc42 activity. Failure to down-regulate Cdc42 during mitotic exit impairs the normal localization of key cytokinesis regulators-Iqg1 and Inn1-at the division site, and results in an abnormal septum. The effects of Cdc42 hyperactivation are largely mediated by the Cdc42 effector p21-activated kinase Ste20. Inhibition of Cdc42 and related Rho guanosine triphosphatases may be a general feature of cytokinesis in eukaryotes.

TL;DR: This work crafted a new mathematical model of cell cycle progression in yeast that exploits a natural separation of time scales in the cell cycle control network to construct a system of differential-algebraic equations for protein synthesis and degradation, post-translational modifications, and rapid formation and dissociation of multimeric complexes.
Abstract: In the cell division cycle of budding yeast, START refers to a set of tightly linked events that prepare a cell for budding and DNA replication, and FINISH denotes the interrelated events by which the cell exits from mitosis and divides into mother and daughter cells. On the basis of recent progress made by molecular biologists in characterizing the genes and proteins that control START and FINISH, we crafted a new mathematical model of cell cycle progression in yeast. Our model exploits a natural separation of time scales in the cell cycle control network to construct a system of differential-algebraic equations for protein synthesis and degradation, post-translational modifications, and rapid formation and dissociation of multimeric complexes. The model provides a unified account of the observed phenotypes of 257 mutant yeast strains (98% of the 263 strains in the data set used to constrain the model). We then use the model to predict the phenotypes of 30 novel combinations of mutant alleles. Our comprehensive model of the molecular events controlling cell cycle progression in budding yeast has both explanatory and predictive power. Future experimental tests of the model's predictions will be useful to refine the underlying molecular mechanism, to constrain the adjustable parameters of the model, and to provide new insights into how the cell division cycle is regulated in budding yeast.

TL;DR: The functions of Cdc14 are reviewed and how this phosphatase is regulated to accomplish the coupling of mitotic processes.
Abstract: ▪ Abstract Completion of the cell cycle requires the temporal and spatial coordination of chromosome segregation with mitotic spindle disassembly and cytokinesis. In budding yeast, the protein phosphatase Cdc14 is a key regulator of these late mitotic events. Here, we review the functions of Cdc14 and how this phosphatase is regulated to accomplish the coupling of mitotic processes. We also discuss the function and regulation of Cdc14 in other eukaryotes, emphasizing conserved features.

TL;DR: The contractile actomyosin ring is not essential for cytokinesis in S. cerevisiae, and in its absence, cytokineses can still be completed by a process that appears to require septin function and to be facilitated by F-actin.
Abstract: In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the mother cell and bud are connected by a narrow neck. The mechanism by which this neck is closed during cytokinesis has been unclear. Here we report on the role of a contractile actomyosin ring in this process. Myo1p (the only type II myosin in S. cerevisiae) forms a ring at the presumptive bud site shortly before bud emergence. Myo1p ring formation depends on the septins but not on F-actin, and preexisting Myo1p rings are stable when F-actin is depolymerized. The Myo1p ring remains in the mother–bud neck until the end of anaphase, when a ring of F-actin forms in association with it. The actomyosin ring then contracts to a point and disappears. In the absence of F-actin, the Myo1p ring does not contract. After ring contraction, cortical actin patches congregate at the mother–bud neck, and septum formation and cell separation rapidly ensue. Strains deleted for MYO1 are viable; they fail to form the actin ring but show apparently normal congregation of actin patches at the neck. Some myo1Δ strains divide nearly as efficiently as wild type; other myo1Δ strains divide less efficiently, but it is unclear whether the primary defect is in cytokinesis, septum formation, or cell separation. Even cells lacking F-actin can divide, although in this case division is considerably delayed. Thus, the contractile actomyosin ring is not essential for cytokinesis in S. cerevisiae. In its absence, cytokinesis can still be completed by a process (possibly localized cell–wall synthesis leading to septum formation) that appears to require septin function and to be facilitated by F-actin.

TL;DR: Observations are suggestive of partial functional redundancy between CLB5 and CLN genes, which is the only yeast cyclin whose deletion lengthens S phase and may have some role in promoting the G1/S transition.
Abstract: Budding yeast strains have three CLN genes, which have limited cyclin homology. At least one of the three is required for cell cycle START. Four B cyclins are known in yeast; two have been shown to function in mitosis. We have discovered a fifth B-cyclin gene, called CLBS, which when cloned on a CEN plasmid can rescue strains deleted for all three CLN genes. CLB5 transcript abundance peaks in G~, coincident with the CLN2 transcript but earlier than the CLB2 transcript. CLB5 deletion does not cause lethality, either alone or in combination with other CLN or CLB deletions. However, strains deleted for CLB5 require more time to complete S phase, suggesting that CLB5 promotes some step in DNA synthesis. CLB5 is the only yeast cyclin whose deletion lengthens S phase. CLB5 may also have some role in promoting the GI/S transition, because clnl cln2 strains require both CLN3 and CLB5 for viability on glycerol media and clnl,2,3- strains require CLB5 for rescue by the Drosophila melanogaster cdc2 gene. In conjunction with clnl,2,3- rescue by CLB5 overexpression and the coincident transcriptional regulation of CLB5 and CLN2, these observations are suggestive of partial functional redundancy between CLB5 and CLN genes.
