Dbf4-Dependent Kinase (DDK)-Mediated Proteolysis of CENP-A Prevents Mislocalization of CENP-A in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.


ABSTRACT: The evolutionarily conserved centromeric histone H3 variant (Cse4 in budding yeast, CENP-A in humans) is essential for faithful chromosome segregation. Mislocalization of CENP-A to non-centromeric chromatin contributes to chromosomal instability (CIN) in yeast, fly, and human cells and CENP-A is highly expressed and mislocalized in cancers. Defining mechanisms that prevent mislocalization of CENP-A is an area of active investigation. Ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of overexpressed Cse4 (GALCSE4) by E3 ubiquitin ligases such as Psh1 prevents mislocalization of Cse4, and psh1 ? strains display synthetic dosage lethality (SDL) with GALCSE4 We previously performed a genome-wide screen and identified five alleles of CDC7 and DBF4 that encode the Dbf4-dependent kinase (DDK) complex, which regulates DNA replication initiation, among the top twelve hits that displayed SDL with GALCSE4 We determined that cdc7 -7 strains exhibit defects in ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of Cse4 and show mislocalization of Cse4 Mutation of MCM5 (mcm5 -bob1) bypasses the requirement of Cdc7 for replication initiation and rescues replication defects in a cdc7 -7 strain. We determined that mcm5 -bob1 does not rescue the SDL and defects in proteolysis of GALCSE4 in a cdc7 -7 strain, suggesting a DNA replication-independent role for Cdc7 in Cse4 proteolysis. The SDL phenotype, defects in ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, and the mislocalization pattern of Cse4 in a cdc7 -7 psh1 ? strain were similar to that of cdc7 -7 and psh1 ? strains, suggesting that Cdc7 regulates Cse4 in a pathway that overlaps with Psh1 Our results define a DNA replication initiation-independent role of DDK as a regulator of Psh1-mediated proteolysis of Cse4 to prevent mislocalization of Cse4.
