Swm1p subunit of the APC/cyclosome is required for activation of the daughter-specific gene expression program mediated by Ace2p during growth at high temperature in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

SWM1 was originally identified for its role in the late steps of the sporulation process, being required for spore wall assembly. This protein, recently identified as one of the core subunits of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC) is also required to complete cell separation in vegetative cells during growth at high temperature. Mutants lacking SWM1 show a thermosensitive growth defect that is suppressed by osmotic support in the culture medium. At the restrictive temperature, swm1 mutants are unable to complete separation, forming chains of cells that remain associated and, with prolonged incubation times, the stability of the cell wall is compromised, resulting in cell lysis. This separation defect is due to a reduction in expression of CTS1 (the gene encoding chitinase) and a group of genes involved in cell separation (such as ENG1, SCW11, DSE1 and DSE2). Interestingly, these genes are specifically regulated by the transcription factor Ace2p, suggesting that Swm1p is required for normal expression of Ace2p-dependent genes during growth at high temperatures. Although no defect in Ace2p localization can be observed at 28°C, this transcription factor is unable to enter the nucleus of the daughter cell during growth at 38°C. Under these growth conditions, swm1 cells undergo a delay in exit from mitosis, as determined by analysis of Clb2p degradation and Cdc28p-Clb2p kinase assays, and this could be the reason for the cytoplasmic localization of Ace2p.
