Abstract

Wee1 protein kinase regulates the length of G2 phase by carrying out the inhibitory tyrosyl phosphorylation of Cdc2-cyclin B kinase. Mutations were isolated that suppressed the G2 cell cycle arrest caused by overproduction of Wee1. One class of swo (suppressor of wee1 overproduction) mutation, exemplified by swo1-26, also caused a temperature sensitive lethal phenotype in a wee1+ background. The swo1+ gene encodes a member of the Hsp90 family of stress proteins. Swo1 is essential for viability at all temperatures. Swo1 coimmunoprecipitates with Wee1, showing that the two proteins interact. The swo1-26 mutant undergoes premature mitosis when grown at a semi-permissive temperature. These data strongly indicate that formation of active Wee1 tyrosine kinase requires interaction with Swo1, perhaps in a manner analogous to the previously demonstrated interaction between Hsp90 and v-src tyrosine kinase. These observations demonstrate a unexpected role for Hsp90 in cell cycle control.

  • Several key cell cycle regulators, including Swe1, Cdc28, Cdc50 and Cdc60, have been identified as Hsp90 interactors in S. cerevisiae.

    “Several key cell cycle regulators have been identified as Hsp90 interactors in S. cerevisiae, including Swe1, Cdc28, Cdc50 and Cdc6061,92,123.”
  • Hsp90 has evolutionarily conserved roles in cell cycle progression.

    “Hsp90 also has evolutionarily conserved roles in cell cycle progression.”
  • Hsp90's role in cell cycle progression appears to be conserved in the fungal kingdom.

    “Hsp90's role in cell cycle progression appears to be conserved in the fungal kingdom. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Hsp90 is required for cell cycle progression during environmental stress, and in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe Hsp90 interacts with cell cycle machinery (Aligue et al., 1994; Munoz and Jimenez, 1999; McClellan et al., 2007).”
  • Several key regulators of cell cycle progression have been implicated as Hsp90 interactors, including the mammalian tyrosine kinase Wee1 and its budding yeast homologue Swe1, the polo-like kinase Plk1 and its yeast homologue Cdc5, and the cyclin-dependent kinase Cdc2 and its budding yeast homologue Cdc28.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
