Abstract
Cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) stimulates resection of DNA double-strand breaks ends to generate single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) needed for recombinational DNA repair. Here we show in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that lack of the Cdk-counteracting phosphatase Cdc14 produces abnormally extended resected tracts at the DNA break ends, involving the phosphatase in the inhibition of resection. Over-resection in the absence of Cdc14 activity is bypassed when the exonuclease Dna2 is inactivated or when its Cdk consensus sites are mutated, indicating that the phosphatase restrains resection by acting through this nuclease. Accordingly, mitotically activated Cdc14 promotes Dna2 dephosphorylation to exclude it from the DNA lesion. Cdc14-dependent resection inhibition is essential to sustain DNA re-synthesis, thus ensuring the appropriate length, frequency, and distribution of the gene conversion tracts. These results establish a role for Cdc14 in controlling the extent of resection through Dna2 regulation and demonstrate that the accumulation of excessively long ssDNA affects the accurate repair of the broken DNA by homologous recombination.

Abstract
Timely completion of genome replication is a prerequisite for mitosis, genome integrity, and cell survival. A challenge to this timely completion comes from the need to replicate the hundreds of untranscribed copies of rDNA that organisms maintain in addition to the copies required for ribosome biogenesis. Replication of these rDNA arrays is relegated to late S phase despite their large size, repetitive nature, and essentiality. Here, we show that, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, reducing the number of rDNA repeats leads to early rDNA replication, which results in delaying replication elsewhere in the genome. Moreover, cells with early-replicating rDNA arrays and delayed genome-wide replication aberrantly release the mitotic phosphatase Cdc14 from the nucleolus and enter anaphase prematurely. We propose that rDNA copy number determines the replication time of the rDNA locus and that the release of Cdc14 upon completion of rDNA replication is a signal for cell cycle progression.

Abstract
The Cdc14 phosphatase family is highly conserved in fungi. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Cdc14 is essential for down-regulation of cyclin-dependent kinase activity at mitotic exit. However, this essential function is not broadly conserved and requires only a small fraction of normal Cdc14 activity. Here, we identified an invariant motif in the disordered C-terminal tail of fungal Cdc14 enzymes that is required for full enzyme activity. Mutation of this motif reduced Cdc14 catalytic rate and provided a tool for studying the biological significance of high Cdc14 activity. A S. cerevisiae strain expressing the reduced-activity hypomorphic mutant allele (cdc14hm ) as the sole source of Cdc14 proliferated like the wild-type parent strain but exhibited an unexpected sensitivity to cell wall stresses, including chitin-binding compounds and echinocandin antifungal drugs. Sensitivity to echinocandins was also observed in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Candida albicans strains lacking CDC14, suggesting this phenotype reflects a novel and conserved function of Cdc14 orthologs in mediating fungal cell wall integrity. In C. albicans, the orthologous cdc14hm allele was sufficient to elicit echinocandin hypersensitivity and perturb cell wall integrity signaling. It also caused striking abnormalities in septum structure and the same cell separation and hyphal differentiation defects previously observed with cdc14 gene deletions. Since hyphal differentiation is important for C. albicans pathogenesis, we assessed the effect of reduced Cdc14 activity on virulence in Galleria mellonella and mouse models of invasive candidiasis. Partial reduction in Cdc14 activity via cdc14hm mutation severely impaired C. albicans virulence in both assays. Our results reveal that high Cdc14 activity is important for C. albicans cell wall integrity and pathogenesis and suggest that Cdc14 may be worth future exploration as an antifungal drug target.

Abstract
Insect salivary glands have been previously shown to function in pupal attachment and food lubrication by secreting factors into the lumen via an exocrine way. Here, we find in Drosophila that a salivary gland-derived secreted factor (Sgsf) peptide regulates systemic growth via an endocrine way. Sgsf is specifically expressed in salivary glands and secreted into the hemolymph. Sgsf knockout or salivary gland-specific Sgsf knockdown decrease the size of both the body and organs, phenocopying the effects of genetic ablation of salivary glands, while salivary gland-specific Sgsf overexpression increases their size. Sgsf promotes systemic growth by modulating the secretion of the insulin-like peptide Dilp2 from the brain insulin-producing cells (IPCs) and affecting mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling in the fat body. Altogether, our study demonstrates that Sgsf mediates the roles of salivary glands in Drosophila systemic growth, establishing an endocrine function of salivary glands.

Abstract
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae DNA replication and spindle assembly can overlap. Therefore, signaling mechanisms modulate spindle dynamics in order to ensure correct timing of chromosome segregation relative to genome duplication, especially when replication is incomplete or the DNA becomes damaged. This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms that coordinate DNA replication and spindle dynamics, as well as on the role of spindle-dependent forces in DNA repair. Understanding the coupling between genome duplication and spindle function in yeast cells can provide important insights into similar processes operating in other eukaryotic organisms, including humans.

Abstract
Meiotic defects derived from incorrect DNA repair during gametogenesis can lead to mutations, aneuploidies and infertility. The coordinated resolution of meiotic recombination intermediates is required for crossover formation, ultimately necessary for the accurate completion of both rounds of chromosome segregation. Numerous master kinases orchestrate the correct assembly and activity of the repair machinery. Although much less is known, the reversal of phosphorylation events in meiosis must also be key to coordinate the timing and functionality of repair enzymes. Cdc14 is a crucial phosphatase required for the dephosphorylation of multiple CDK1 targets in many eukaryotes. Mutations that inactivate this phosphatase lead to meiotic failure, but until now it was unknown if Cdc14 plays a direct role in meiotic recombination. Here, we show that the elimination of Cdc14 leads to severe defects in the processing and resolution of recombination intermediates, causing a drastic depletion in crossovers when other repair pathways are compromised. We also show that Cdc14 is required for the correct activity and localization of the Holliday Junction resolvase Yen1/GEN1. We reveal that Cdc14 regulates Yen1 activity from meiosis I onwards, and this function is essential for crossover resolution in the absence of other repair pathways. We also demonstrate that Cdc14 and Yen1 are required to safeguard sister chromatid segregation during the second meiotic division, a late action that is independent of the earlier role in crossover formation. Thus, this work uncovers previously undescribed functions of the evolutionary conserved Cdc14 phosphatase in the regulation of meiotic recombination.

Abstract
Meiosis in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used to create haploid yeast spores from a diploid mother cell. During meiosis II, cytokinesis occurs by closure of the prospore membrane, a membrane that initiates at the spindle pole body and grows to surround each of the haploid meiotic products. Timely prospore membrane closure requires SPS1, which encodes an STE20 family GCKIII kinase. To identify genes that may activate SPS1, we utilized a histone phosphorylation defect of sps1 mutants to screen for genes with a similar phenotype and found that cdc15 shared this phenotype. CDC15 encodes a Hippo-like kinase that is part of the mitotic exit network. We find that Sps1 complexes with Cdc15, that Sps1 phosphorylation requires Cdc15, and that CDC15 is also required for timely prospore membrane closure. We also find that SPS1, like CDC15, is required for meiosis II spindle disassembly and sustained anaphase II release of Cdc14 in meiosis. However, the NDR-kinase complex encoded by DBF2/DBF20MOB1 which functions downstream of CDC15 in mitotic cells, does not appear to play a role in spindle disassembly, timely prospore membrane closure, or sustained anaphase II Cdc14 release. Taken together, our results suggest that the mitotic exit network is rewired for exit from meiosis II, such that SPS1 replaces the NDR-kinase complex downstream of CDC15.

Abstract
Meiosis is a specialized cell division that gives raise to four haploid gametes from a single diploid cell. During meiosis, homologous recombination is crucial to ensure genetic diversity and guarantee accurate chromosome segregation. Both the formation of programmed meiotic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and their repair using homologous chromosomes are essential and highly regulated pathways. Similar to other processes that take place in the context of chromatin, histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs) constitute one of the major mechanisms to regulate meiotic recombination. In this review, we focus on specific PTMs occurring in histone tails as driving forces of different molecular events, including meiotic recombination and transcription. In particular, we concentrate on the influence of H3K4me3, H2BK123ub, and their corresponding molecular machineries that write, read, and erase these histone marks. The Spp1 subunit within the Complex of Proteins Associated with Set1 (COMPASS) is a critical regulator of H3K4me3-dependent meiotic DSB formation. On the other hand, the PAF1c (RNA polymerase II associated factor 1 complex) drives the ubiquitination of H2BK123 by Rad6-Bre1. We also discuss emerging evidence obtained by cryo-electron microscopy (EM) structure determination that has provided new insights into how the "cross-talk" between these two marks is accomplished.

Abstract
The spindle constitutes the cellular machinery that enables the segregation of the chromosomes during eukaryotic cell division. The microtubules that form this fascinating and complex genome distribution system emanate from specialized structures located at both its poles and known as microtubule-organizing centers (MTOCs). Beyond their structural function, the spindle MTOCs play fundamental roles in cell cycle control, the activation and functionality of the mitotic checkpoints and during cellular aging. This review highlights the pivotal importance of spindle-associated MTOCs in multiple cellular processes and their central role as key regulatory hubs where diverse intracellular signals are integrated and coordinated to ensure the successful completion of cell division and the maintenance of the replicative lifespan.

The Multiple Roles of the Cdc14 Phosphatase in Cell Cycle Control. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21030709. [PMID: 31973188 PMCID: PMC7038166 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21030709] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2019] [Revised: 01/17/2020] [Accepted: 01/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The Cdc14 phosphatase is a key regulator of mitosis in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Cdc14 was initially described as playing an essential role in the control of cell cycle progression by promoting mitotic exit on the basis of its capacity to counteract the activity of the cyclin-dependent kinase Cdc28/Cdk1. A compiling body of evidence, however, has later demonstrated that this phosphatase plays other multiple roles in the regulation of mitosis at different cell cycle stages. Here, we summarize our current knowledge about the pivotal role of Cdc14 in cell cycle control, with a special focus in the most recently uncovered functions of the phosphatase.

Cell Cycle and DNA Repair Regulation in the Damage Response: Protein Phosphatases Take Over the Reins. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21020446.

Abstract
Cells are constantly suffering genotoxic stresses that affect the integrity of our genetic material. Genotoxic insults must be repaired to avoid the loss or inappropriate transmission of the genetic information, a situation that could lead to the appearance of developmental abnormalities and tumorigenesis. To combat this threat, eukaryotic cells have evolved a set of sophisticated molecular mechanisms that are collectively known as the DNA damage response (DDR). This surveillance system controls several aspects of the cellular response, including the detection of lesions, a temporary cell cycle arrest, and the repair of the broken DNA. While the regulation of the DDR by numerous kinases has been well documented over the last decade, the complex roles of protein dephosphorylation have only recently begun to be investigated. Here, we review recent progress in the characterization of DDR-related protein phosphatases during the response to a DNA lesion, focusing mainly on their ability to modulate the DNA damage checkpoint and the repair of the damaged DNA. We also discuss their protein composition and structure, target specificity, and biochemical regulation along the different stages encompassed in the DDR. The compilation of this information will allow us to better comprehend the physiological significance of protein dephosphorylation in the maintenance of genome integrity and cell viability in response to genotoxic stress.

Abstract
DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) pose a high risk for genome integrity. Cells repair DSBs through homologous recombination (HR) when a sister chromatid is available. HR is upregulated by the cycling dependent kinase (CDK) despite the paradox of telophase, where CDK is high but a sister chromatid is not nearby. Here we study in the budding yeast the response to DSBs in telophase, and find they activate the DNA damage checkpoint (DDC), leading to a telophase-to-G1 delay. Outstandingly, we observe a partial reversion of sister chromatid segregation, which includes approximation of segregated material, de novo formation of anaphase bridges, and coalescence between sister loci. We finally show that DSBs promote a massive change in the dynamics of telophase microtubules (MTs), together with dephosphorylation and relocalization of kinesin-5 Cin8. We propose that chromosome segregation is not irreversible and that DSB repair using the sister chromatid is possible in telophase.

Characterization of Pch2 localization determinants reveals a nucleolar-independent role in the meiotic recombination checkpoint. Chromosoma 2019; 128:297-316. [PMID: 30859296 DOI: 10.1007/s00412-019-00696-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2018] [Revised: 02/05/2019] [Accepted: 02/20/2019] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
The meiotic recombination checkpoint blocks meiotic cell cycle progression in response to synapsis and/or recombination defects to prevent aberrant chromosome segregation. The evolutionarily conserved budding yeast Pch2TRIP13 AAA+ ATPase participates in this pathway by supporting phosphorylation of the Hop1HORMAD adaptor at T318. In the wild type, Pch2 localizes to synapsed chromosomes and to the unsynapsed rDNA region (nucleolus), excluding Hop1. In contrast, in synaptonemal complex (SC)-defective zip1Δ mutants, which undergo checkpoint activation, Pch2 is detected only on the nucleolus. Alterations in some epigenetic marks that lead to Pch2 dispersion from the nucleolus suppress zip1Δ-induced checkpoint arrest. These observations have led to the notion that Pch2 nucleolar localization could be important for the meiotic recombination checkpoint. Here we investigate how Pch2 chromosomal distribution impacts checkpoint function. We have generated and characterized several mutations that alter Pch2 localization pattern resulting in aberrant Hop1 distribution and compromised meiotic checkpoint response. Besides the AAA+ signature, we have identified a basic motif in the extended N-terminal domain critical for Pch2's checkpoint function and localization. We have also examined the functional relevance of the described Orc1-Pch2 interaction. Both proteins colocalize in the rDNA, and Orc1 depletion during meiotic prophase prevents Pch2 targeting to the rDNA allowing unwanted Hop1 accumulation on this region. However, Pch2 association with SC components remains intact in the absence of Orc1. We finally show that checkpoint activation is not affected by the lack of Orc1 demonstrating that, in contrast to previous hypotheses, nucleolar localization of Pch2 is actually dispensable for the meiotic checkpoint.

Abstract
Maintenance of genome integrity is fundamental for cellular physiology. Our hereditary information encoded in the DNA is intrinsically susceptible to suffer variations, mostly due to the constant presence of endogenous and environmental genotoxic stresses. Genomic insults must be repaired to avoid loss or inappropriate transmission of the genetic information, a situation that could lead to the appearance of developmental anomalies and tumorigenesis. To safeguard our genome, cells have evolved a series of mechanisms collectively known as the DNA damage response (DDR). This surveillance system regulates multiple features of the cellular response, including the detection of the lesion, a transient cell cycle arrest and the restoration of the broken DNA molecule. While the role of multiple kinases in the DDR has been well documented over the last years, the intricate roles of protein dephosphorylation have only recently begun to be addressed. In this review, we have compiled recent information about the function of protein phosphatases PP1, PP2A, PP4 and Cdc14 in the DDR, focusing mainly on their capacity to regulate the DNA damage checkpoint and the repair mechanism encompassed in the restoration of a DNA lesion.

Lsm12 Mediates Deubiquitination of DNA Polymerase η To Help Saccharomyces cerevisiae Resist Oxidative Stress. Appl Environ Microbiol 2019; 85:AEM.01988-18.

Abstract
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the Y family DNA polymerase η (Polη) regulates genome stability in response to different forms of environmental stress by translesion DNA synthesis. To elucidate the role of Polη in oxidative stress-induced DNA damage, we deleted or overexpressed the corresponding gene RAD30 and used transcriptome analysis to screen the potential genes associated with RAD30 to respond to DNA damage. Under 2 mM H2O2 treatment, the deletion of RAD30 resulted in a 2.2-fold decrease in survival and a 2.8-fold increase in DNA damage, whereas overexpression of RAD30 increased survival and decreased DNA damage by 1.2- and 1.4-fold, respectively, compared with the wild-type strain. Transcriptome and phenotypic analyses identified Lsm12 as a main factor involved in oxidative stress-induced DNA damage. Deleting LSM12 caused growth defects, while its overexpression enhanced cell growth under 2 mM H2O2 treatment. This effect was due to the physical interaction of Lsm12 with the UBZ domain of Polη to enhance Polη deubiquitination through Ubp3 and consequently promote Polη recruitment. Overall, these findings demonstrate that Lsm12 is a novel regulator mediating Polη deubiquitination to promote its recruitment under oxidative stress. Furthermore, this study provides a potential strategy to maintain the genome stability of industrial strains during fermentation.IMPORTANCE Polη was shown to be critical for cell growth in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and deletion of its corresponding gene RAD30 caused a severe growth defect under exposure to oxidative stress with 2 mM H2O2 Furthermore, we found that Lsm12 physically interacts with Polη and promotes Polη deubiquitination and recruitment. Overall, these findings indicate Lsm12 is a novel regulator mediating Polη deubiquitination that regulates its recruitment in response to DNA damage induced by oxidative stress.

Abstract
The phosphorylation status of a protein is highly regulated and is determined by the opposing activities of protein kinases and protein phosphatases within the cell. While much is known about the protein kinases found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the protein phosphatases are much less characterized. Of the 127 protein kinases in yeast, over 90% are in the same evolutionary lineage. In contrast, protein phosphatases are fewer in number (only 43 have been identified in yeast) and comprise multiple, distinct evolutionary lineages. Here we review the protein phosphatase families of yeast with regard to structure, catalytic mechanism, regulation, and signal transduction participation.

Abstract
Cdc14 enzymes compose a family of highly conserved phosphatases that are present in a wide range of organisms, including yeast and humans, and that preferentially reverse the phosphorylation of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase (Cdk) substrates. The budding yeast Cdc14 orthologue has essential functions in the control of late mitosis and cytokinesis. In mammals, however, the two Cdc14 homologues, Cdc14A and Cdc14B, do not play a prominent role in controlling late mitotic events, suggesting that some Cdc14 functions are not conserved across species. Moreover, in yeast, Cdc14 is regulated by changes in its subcellular location and by phosphorylation events. In contrast, little is known about the regulation of human Cdc14 phosphatases. Here, we have studied how the human Cdc14A orthologue is regulated during the cell cycle. We found that Cdc14A is phosphorylated on Ser411, Ser453 and Ser549 by Cdk1 early in mitosis and becomes dephosphorylated during late mitotic stages. Interestingly, in vivo and in vitro experiments revealed that, unlike in yeast, Cdk1-mediated phosphorylation of human Cdc14A did not control its catalytic activity but likely modulated its interaction with other proteins in early mitosis. These findings point to differences in Cdk1-mediated mechanisms of regulation between human and yeast Cdc14 orthologues.

Abstract
Chromosome morphology in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is only visible at the microscopic level in the ribosomal DNA array (rDNA). The rDNA has been thus used as a model to characterize condensation and segregation of sister chromatids in mitosis. It has been established that the metaphase structure ("loop") depends, among others, on the condensin complex; whereas its segregation also depends on that complex, the Polo-like kinase Cdc5 and the cell cycle master phosphatase Cdc14. In addition, Cdc14 also drives rDNA hypercondensation in telophase. Remarkably, since all these components are essential for cell survival, their role on rDNA condensation and segregation was established by temperature-sensitive (ts) alleles. Here, we show that the heat stress (HS) used to inactivate ts alleles (25 ºC to 37 ºC shift) causes rDNA loop condensation in metaphase-arrested wild type cells, a result that can also be mimicked by other stresses that inhibit the TORC1 pathway. Because this condensation might challenge previous findings with ts alleles, we have repeated classical experiments of rDNA condensation and segregation, yet using instead auxin-driven degradation alleles (aid alleles). We have undertaken the protein degradation at lower temperatures (25 ºC) and concluded that the classical roles for condensin, Cdc5, Cdc14 and Cdc15 still prevailed. Thus, condensin degradation disrupts rDNA higher organization, Cdc14 and Cdc5 degradation precludes rDNA segregation and Cdc15 degradation still allows rDNA hypercompaction in telophase. Finally, we provide direct genetic evidence that this HS-mediated rDNA condensation is dependent on TORC1 but, unlike the one observed in anaphase, is independent of Cdc14.

Abstract
Cells are constantly threatened by multiple sources of genotoxic stress that cause DNA damage. To maintain genome integrity, cells have developed a coordinated signalling network called DNA damage response (DDR). While multiple kinases have been thoroughly studied during DDR activation, the role of protein dephosphorylation in the damage response remains elusive. Here, we show that the phosphatase Cdc14 is essential to fulfil recombinational DNA repair in budding yeast. After DNA double‐strand break (DSB) generation, Cdc14 is transiently released from the nucleolus and activated. In this state, Cdc14 targets the spindle pole body (SPB) component Spc110 to counterbalance its phosphorylation by cyclin‐dependent kinase (Cdk). Alterations in the Cdk/Cdc14‐dependent phosphorylation status of Spc110, or its inactivation during the induction of a DNA lesion, generate abnormal oscillatory SPB movements that disrupt DSB‐SPB interactions. Remarkably, these defects impair DNA repair by homologous recombination indicating that SPB integrity is essential during the repair process. Together, these results show that Cdc14 promotes spindle stability and DSB‐SPB tethering during DNA repair, and imply that metaphase spindle maintenance is a critical feature of the repair process.
