Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Swi5 is a transcription factor that activates transcription of genes required for G1 functions in yeast. We previously showed that Swi5 is degraded by the SCFCdc4 ubiquitin ligase. In this study, we constructed a stabilized Swi5 by modifying residues required for the SCFCdc4-dependent degradation. We found that onset of S-phase, chrosomome segregation, and M-phase exit are inhibited in cells expressing the stabilized Swi5. We found a novel regulatory mechanism of cell cycle: Swi5 induces expression of Sic1 that inhibits initiation of S phase and chromosome segregation, and of Amn1 that inhibits M-phase exit; and degradation of Swi5 by the SCFCdc4 ubiquitin ligase allows proper progression into cell cycle.
