    Abstract The maintenance of genomic stability during the mitotic cell-cycle not only demands that the DNA is duplicated and repaired with high fidelity, but that following DNA replication the chromatin composition is perpetuated and that the duplicated chromatids remain tethered until their anaphase segregation. The coordination of these processes during S phase is achieved by both cyclin-dependent kinase, CDK, and Dbf4-dependent kinase, DDK. CDK orchestrates the activation of DDK at the G1-to-S transition, acting as the 'global' regulator of S phase and cell-cycle progression, whilst 'local' control of the initiation of DNA replication and repair and their coordination with the re-formation of local chromatin environments and the establishment of chromatid cohesion are delegated to DDK. Here, we discuss the regulation and the multiple roles of DDK in ensuring chromosome maintenance. Regulation of replication initiation by DDK has long been known to involve phosphorylation of MCM2-7 subunits, but more recent results have indicated that Treslin:MTBP might also be important substrates. Molecular mechanisms by which DDK regulates replisome stability and replicated chromatid cohesion are less well understood, though important new insights have been reported recently. We discuss how the 'outsourcing' of activities required for chromosome maintenance to DDK allows CDK to maintain outright control of S phase progression and the cell-cycle phase transitions whilst permitting ongoing chromatin replication and cohesion establishment to be completed and achieved faithfully.

    Abstract Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is a homo-trimeric clamp complex that serves as the molecular hub for various DNA transactions, including DNA synthesis and post-replicative mismatch repair. Its timely loading and unloading are critical for genome stability. PCNA loading is catalyzed by Replication factor C (RFC) and the Ctf18 RFC-like complex (Ctf18-RLC), and its unloading is catalyzed by Atad5/Elg1-RLC. However, RFC, Ctf18-RLC, and even some subcomplexes of their shared subunits are capable of unloading PCNA in vitro, leaving an ambiguity in the division of labor in eukaryotic clamp dynamics. By using a system that specifically detects PCNA unloading, we show here that Atad5-RLC, which accounts for only approximately 3% of RFC/RLCs, nevertheless provides the major PCNA unloading activity in Xenopus egg extracts. RFC and Ctf18-RLC each account for approximately 40% of RFC/RLCs, while immunodepletion of neither Rfc1 nor Ctf18 detectably affects the rate of PCNA unloading in our system. PCNA unloading is dependent on the ATP-binding motif of Atad5, independent of nicks on DNA and chromatin assembly, and inhibited effectively by PCNA-interacting peptides. These results support a model in which Atad5-RLC preferentially unloads DNA-bound PCNA molecules that are free from their interactors.

    Abstract Here we discuss the important contributions that cell-free extracts have made to the study of complex biological processes. We provide a brief history of how cell-free extracts of frog eggs were developed to avoid many of the problems that can arise from the dilution and mixing of cellular components that typically occur when cell-free extracts are prepared. We briefly describe how Xenopus egg extracts have been fundamental to the study of many important cellular processes including DNA replication, cell cycle progression, nuclear protein import, nuclear assembly and chromosome organisation. We describe how, in particular, Xenopus egg extracts have made a major contributions to the study of DNA replication, by permitting the direct manipulation of proteins in a system that is extraordinarily faithful to the way that DNA replication occurs in the living embryo. Finally we consider how results obtained using Xenopus egg extracts are being translated to produce diagnostic reagents for cancer screening and diagnosis.
