Two maize Kip-related proteins differentially interact with, inhibit and are phosphorylated by cyclin D–cyclin-dependent kinase complexes
2017
Highlight Maize Kip-related proteins can be differentially phosphorylated by different cyclin D–cyclin-dependent kinase complexes and this influences their performance as cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors.
TORC1 controls G1–S cell cycle transition in yeast via Mpk1 and the greatwall kinase pathway
2015
The target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) pathway couples nutrient, energy and hormonal signals with eukaryotic cell growth and division. In yeast, TORC1 coordinates growth with G1–S cell cycle progression, also coined as START, by favouring the expression of G1 cyclins that activate cyclin-dependent protein kinases (CDKs) and by destabilizing the CDK inhibitor Sic1. Following TORC1 downregulation by rapamycin treatment or nutrient limitation, clearance of G1 cyclins and C-terminal phosphorylation of Sic1 by unknown protein kinases are both required for Sic1 to escape ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis prompted by its flagging via the SCFCdc4 (Skp1/Cul1/F-box protein) ubiquitin ligase complex.…
Kel1 is a phosphorylation-regulated noise suppressor of the pheromone signaling pathway.
2021
Abstract Mechanisms have evolved that allow cells to detect signals and generate an appropriate response. The accuracy of these responses relies on the ability of cells to discriminate between signal and noise. How cells filter noise in signaling pathways is not well understood. We have analyzed noise suppression in the yeast pheromone signaling pathway. By combining synthetic genetic array screening, mass spectrometry and single-cell time-resolved microscopy, we discovered that the poorly characterized protein Kel1 serves as a major noise suppressor of the pathway. At the molecular level, Kel1 suppresses spontaneous activation of the pheromone response by inhibiting membrane recruitment of…
