Cyclin B is kept in the cytosol, away of its targets; • Just prior to the onset of mitosis, Cyclin B is phosphorylated; • Cyc B phosphorylation masks nuclear export sequences, resulting in its accumulation in the nucleus CDK regulation5- Subcellularlocalization CHMI 4237 E - Winter 2010

DNA replicationoccurs once (and only once) during the cell cycle, during S phase; • All the enzymes required for DNA synthesis (nucleotidesynthesis, DNA synthesisproper, etc) have been producedprior to entering S phase; • At the end of S phase: the two copies of a duplicated chromosomes are physicallykepttogether as sisterchromatids via a proteincalledcohesin.

In eukaryotes, replicationforksprogressat a rate of ~10-100 bp /sec; • The massive size of eukaryoticgenomerequires the presence of multiple replication initiation sites; • But: whatprevents a givenreplicationorigin to be more than once during the same S phase? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bookshelf/br.fcgi?book=cooper&part=A2433&rendertype=figure&id=A2448 But: what do CDKsactually do?2- S phase CHMI 4237 E - Winter 2010
Replication origines are licensed by becomingloadedwith MCM proteins; • MCM loadingrequires a proteinscalled CDC6, itselfrecruited to replicationorigins by the protein ORC (OriginReplicationComplex); • MCM/ORC/CDC6 proteinsparticipate in recruiting the DNA replicationmachinery • However, S-phase cyclin (Cyclin A/Cdk2 in mammals) phosphorylates Cdc6, taggingit for degradation. • M-phase cyclins (Cyclin B/Cdk2 in mammals) alsophosphorylate CDC6, preventingreplication initiation duringmitosis; • The MCM proteins are displaced by the movingreplicationfork.
