Presentation Transcript

  1. Yeast cell cycle landmarks

  2. Isolation of temperature sensitive mutants 1500 ts mutants 146 Cdc- phenotype 32 cdc complementation groups

  3. A cdc mutant – permissive temperature

  4. A cdc mutant – restrictive temperature

  5. Execution point: position in cell cycle after which Cdc protein is not needed Shift to restrictive temperature; time lapse photography; arrange cells by position in cell cycle at temp shift

  6. Cdc phenotypes suggest a dependency relationship for landmark events

  7. Possible relationships between two gene-mediated steps

  8. Reciprocal shift experiments(to determine gene function order) 1. Shift culture to arrest under one condition (Condition A; eg, high temp) 2. Release from that arrest and apply second condition (Condition B; eg, DNA synthesis inhibitor) 3. Observe phenotype. Did cells complete the cell cycle after release from the first arrest condition? If so, it argues that the first condition blocks a step after the step blocked by the second condition. 4. Perform shifts in opposite order and observe phenotype. Is it consistent with order deduced in (3) above? B A

  9. Schematic representation of dependent pathways of cell cycle events

  10. Cell cycle dependency relationships

  11. Yeast Life Cycle Mating factor arrests haploid cells in G1, prior to spindle pole body duplication Sporulation conditions arrest diploids in G1, prior to spindle pole body duplication

  12. The concept of START a point at which cells commit to initiating and completing a cell cycle Mating factor causes arrest at START Sporulation causes arrest at START Starvation for nutrients causes arrest at START eg, P, N, C, S cdc28 mutants arrest at START CDC28 seems to be a pretty interesting gene

  13. Oscillation of a protein named cyclin following fertilization of sea urchin embryos

  14. Pulse-chase experiment demonstrates cyclin is synthesized throughout the cell cycle

  15. Plasmid (and other) Libraries Genomic DNA library

  16. cDNA library Screening is the key (for any library, actually)

  17. Fractionation of sea urchin maternal mRNA as first step to cloning cyclincDNA

  18. Identification of cyclincDNA clone 1. Prepare cDNA library from RNA fractions enriched for cyclin mRNA 2. Hybridize DNA from individual clones to egg RNA 3. Treat with RNase H, which destroys DNA:RNA hybrids, and translate in vitro 39th clone tested showed reduced cyclin translation product

  19. Comparison of sea urchin and clam RNAs and proteins

  20. Egg maturation and early cleavages in Xenopus

  21. MPF – Maturation Promotion Factor Fig B. Progesterone treatment induces an activity that can transferred to other, immature oocytes and cause maturation Fig C. MPF activity is also present in mitotically cycling early cleavage embryos. Hence, MPF also stands for mitosis promotion factor Purified MPF contains 2 proteins, 34 and 45 kD

  22. Sea urchin mRNA induces frog oocyte maturation Cyclin mRNA is necessary and sufficient for this induction

  23. Pure cyclin mRNA induces oocyte maturation

  24. Return to yeast, but a different one, the fission yeast Schizosaccharomycespombe

  25. Fission yeast cdc2 mutants arrest before mitosis cdc2 is the fission yeast equivalent of budding yeast CDC28

  26. Cloning yeast genes Genomic DNA library in autonomously replicating plasmid Clone gene of interest by transforming mutant, selecting for presence of library plasmid, and screening for complementation of mutant defect Used this strategy to clone fission yeast cdc2 Also asked whether there was a budding yeast gene that could complement fission yeast cdc2 mutant -- How? cdc2 is the fission yeast equivalent of budding yeast CDC28

  27. Immunoprecipitation and co-precipitation Ab can be raised against a (purified) protein of interest or DNA methods can be used to attach an epitope to any protein of interest

  28. An example, Co-IP of Rac1 and Pak1 From cell extracts, precipitate with antibodies to Rac1, probe with Ab to Rac (figure A) or with Ab to HA (Figure B) Cells expressing: lane 1 GST-HA control lane 2 Rac1 and Pak1-PDB-HA lane 3 Pak1-PDB-HA lane 4 neither protein

  29. MPF contains cdc2 Probe fractions purified in various ways with antibodies to cdc2

  30. ….. and purified MPF contains a second protein and also has histone H1 kinase activity In fact, it is cdc2 that has the protein kinase activity

  31. Cyclin, cdc2, and H1 Kinase activity co-purify

  32. Complementation of fission yeast cdc2 (= budding yeast cdc28) by human cDNA

  33. Sequence comparison of budding yeast, fission yeast and human cdc2/Cdc28 General name: cyclin dependent kinase, cdk

  34. Genetics with fission yeast reveals other players

  35. Cdc2 is regulated by phosphorylation

  36. Budding yeast contains multiple cyclins

  37. Mammals have multiple Cdks

  38. And multiple cyclins
