Chats0
TLDR
This work shows that the Cdc14 phosphatase triggers mitotic exit by three parallel mechanisms, each of which inhibits Cdk activity, and induces degradation of mitotic cyclins.

Exploring the roles of the C-terminal of Pol2, the catalytic subunit of DNA Polymerase ɛ, in replication and checkpoint response

TL;DR: In this article, expression of the last 236 residues of a truncation mutant, pol2-11, was shown to partially suppress the defects in origin firing, fork progression and checkpoint signaling inherent to a truncated mutant, and conserved residues were identified for suppressive effects of the C-terminal fragment.

Reduced Cdc14 phosphatase activity impairs septation, hyphal differentiation and pathogenesis and causes echinocandin hypersensitivity in Candida albicans

TL;DR: A system to test if partial therapeutic reduction in activity of a protein phosphatase called Cdc14 could reduce virulence of the opportunistic human pathogen Candida albicans found that successful C.Albicans infections in two animal models of invasive candidiasis were dependent on high CDC14 activity.

Cdc14 phosphatase ensures resolution of aberrant meiotic recombination outcomes partly through activating Yen1/GEN1

TL;DR: It is found that levels of aberrant recombination intermediates accumulate during prophase I in cdc14 meiotic deficient cells, and an early function for Cdc14 in meiotic recombination independent of its later roles during anaphase I/II is proposed.

Cdc14 phosphatase contributes to cell wall integrity and pathogenesis in Candida albicans

TL;DR: In this article , an invariant motif was identified in the disordered C-terminal tail of fungal Cdc14 enzymes that is required for full enzyme activity, and a reduced-activity hypomorphic mutant allele (cdc14hm) was shown to severely impair C. albicans virulence in both assays.

Cyclin-dependent kinases: engines, clocks, and microprocessors.

TL;DR: This work has shown that Cdk activity is governed by a complex network of regulatory subunits and phosphorylation events whose precise effects on Cdk conformation have been revealed by recent crystallographic studies.

SKP1 connects cell cycle regulators to the ubiquitin proteolysis machinery through a novel motif, the F-box.

TL;DR: Different skp1 mutants arrest cells in either G1 or G2, suggesting a connection between regulation of proteolysis in different stages of the cycle.

How proteolysis drives the cell cycle

TL;DR: Proteolysis drives cell cycle progression not only by regulating CDK activity, but by directly influencing chromosome and spindle dynamics, and also how proteolysis may directly trigger the transition from metaphase to anaphase.

F-Box Proteins Are Receptors that Recruit Phosphorylated Substrates to the SCF Ubiquitin-Ligase Complex

TL;DR: The ubiquitination pathway for the Cdk inhibitor Sic1 is reconstituted using recombinant proteins and the constituents of the SCF complex are members of protein families, likely to serve as the prototype for a large class of E3s formed by combinatorial interactions of related family members.

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cell Cycle

TL;DR: The bibliography is intended more as a guide to the literature than as a historically accurate record of the development of the field; the authors apologize to the earlier workers whose contributions thus get less explicit credit than they deserve.
