Cdc7p-Dbf4p becomes famous in the cell cycle
R.A. Sclafani
Journal of Cell Science 2000 113: 2111-2117;

Summary

Great insight into the molecular details of cell cycle regulation has been obtained in the past decade. However, most of the progress has been in defining the regulation of the family of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). Recent studies of a myriad of eukaryotic organisms have defined both the regulation and substrates of Cdc7p kinase, which forms a CDK-cyclin-like complex with Dbf4p, is necessary for the initiation of DNA replication and has been conserved in evolution. This kinase is also required for the induction of mutations after DNA damage and for commitment to recombination in the meiotic cell cycle. However, less is known about the role of the kinase in these processes. In a manner similar to CDKs, Cdc7p is activated by a regulatory subunit, Dbf4, the levels of which fluctuate during the cell cycle. One or more subunits of the conserved MCM helicase complex at chromosomal origins of DNA replication are substrates for the kinase during S phase. Phosphorylation of the MCM complex by Cdc7p-Dbf4p might activate DNA replication by unwinding DNA. Therefore, activation of Cdc7p is required for DNA replication. Given that Cdc7p-Dbf4 kinase is overexpressed in many neoplastic cells and tumors, it might be an important early biomarker during cancer progression.

2020 at The Company of Biologists

Despite the challenges of 2020, we were able to bring a number of long-term projects and new ventures to fruition. While we look forward to a new year, join us as we reflect on the triumphs of the last 12 months.

Mole – The Corona Files

"This is not going to go away, 'like a miracle.' We have to do magic. And I know we can."

Mole continues to offer his wise words to researchers on how to manage during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cell scientist to watch – Christine Faulkner

In an interview, Christine Faulkner talks about where her interest in plant science began, how she found the transition between Australia and the UK, and shares her thoughts on virtual conferences.

Read & Publish participation extends worldwide

“The clear advantages are rapid and efficient exposure and easy access to my article around the world. I believe it is great to have this publishing option in fast-growing fields in biomedical research.”

Dr Jaceques Behmoaras (Imperial College London) shares his experience of publishing Open Access as part of our growing Read & Publish initiative. We now have over 60 institutions in 12 countries taking part – find out more and view our full list of participating institutions.

JCS and COVID-19

For more information on measures Journal of Cell Science is taking to support the community during the COVID-19 pandemic, please see here.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hestiate to contact the Editorial Office.
