| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Integrity of Genomic information during a cell cycle is maintained by precise replication and segregation of chromosomes. Cdt1, an essential factor acting for replication licensing, is degraded in S phase, but is stabilized upon entry into M phase. To prevent Cdt1 degradation, a mechanism operates that blocks binding of CyclinA-CDK to Cdt1. In M phase, Cdt1 was detected around the spindles proximal to the centrosome. In the absence of Cdt1, abnormal spindles were formed, spindle assembly checkpoint was activated, and anaphase onset was delayed. We propose that accumulation of Cdt1 in M phase couples initiation of S phase with mitotic events and ensures correct cell cycle progression.
