Fission Yeast Cdc24 Is a Replication Factor C- and Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen-Interacting Factor Essential for S-Phase Completion

ABSTRACT At the nonpermissive temperature the fission yeastcdc24-M38 mutant arrests in the cell cycle with incomplete DNA replication as indicated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Thecdc24+ gene encodes a 501-amino-acid protein with no significant homology to any known proteins. The temperature-sensitive cdc24 mutant is effectively rescued by pcn1 +, rfc1 + (a fission yeast homologue of RFC1), andhhp1 +, which encode the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), the large subunit of replication factor C (RFC), and a casein kinase I involved in DNA damage repair, respectively. The Cdc24 protein binds PCNA and RFC1 in vivo, and the domains essential for Cdc24 function and for RFC1 and PCNA binding colocalize in the N-terminal two-thirds of the molecule. In addition,cdc24 + genetically interacts with the gene encoding the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase ɛ, which is stimulated by PCNA and RFC, and with those encoding the fission yeast counterparts of Mcm2, Mcm4, and Mcm10. These results indicate that Cdc24 is an RFC- and PCNA-interacting factor required for DNA replication and might serve as a target for regulation.
