Outline of Final Research Achievements

Cdc7 is a key conserved kinase involved in initiation of DNA replication. We have identified a Cdc7-binding segment on Mrc1 or on Claspin. Cdc7 no-binder mutants display reduced phosphorylation of Mcm and impaired DNA replication. We conclude that Mrc1/Claspin is a chromatin recruitor of Cdc7. Cdc7 is required also for recombination, repair, and cell division. We have knocked out Cdc7 in immune or neural linages. Surprisingly, mice were born in both cases, and T/B cells developed. This is reminiscent of the fact that fission yeast Cdc7/Hsk1 deletion can grow when mrc1 or rif1 is deleted or simply by raising growth temperature. Although new born mice look fine in Nestin-induced Cdc7 KO, its brain development is seriously impaired, resulting in seizure and inability of normal movement at 10 days or after. Our results show that Cdc7 plays an important but not essential role in initiation of DNA replication and that it may have other targets in regulation of various biological processes.
