D Rad53 phosphorylation levels in smc6 and mph1 mutants reflect a transform in the initial activation or upkeep of Rad53 modification, we performed time course experiments in which G1-synchronized cells were released into MMS-containing media (Figure 1B). In wild-type cells, the Rad53-P band appeared at 20 min postrelease, peaked at 40 min, and diminished at 180 min, when most cells had finished replication, as judged by flow cytometry (fluorescence-activated cell sorting [FACS]; Figure 1, C and D). In smc6-P4 cells, Rad53-P band was also visible 20 min postrelease, however the magnitude of phosphorylation didn’t attain the maximum level observed in wild-type (WT) cells (Figure 1C). This distinction involving the two strains couldn’t be brought on by cell-cycle progression changes, due to the fact their FACS profiles had been equivalent (Figure 1D). We conclude that smc6-P4 cells are defective in maximal Rad53 phosphorylation and, by extension, its activation. In mph1 cells, Rad53 phosphorylation appeared to be stronger than wild form at 20 min and reached the maximum level at 40 min postrelease. Of importance, mph1 cells failed to attenuate Rad53 phosphorylation even at 180 min (Figure 1C). Consistent with persistent Rad53 phosphorylation, mph1 cells also exhibited a delay in S-phase progression compared with wild-type cells (Figure 1, C and D). mph1 smc6-P4 cells behaved similarly to mph1 cells with regards to Rad53 phosphorylation level and S-phase progression (Figure 1, C and D). Hence data from both asynchronous and time course experiments show that smc6-P4 and mph1 have opposite effects on Rad53 phosphorylation and that mph1 is epistatic to smc6-P4 for this phenotype. Due to the fact mutations of essential residues within the Mph1 helicase domain (mph1-hd) that abolish its helicase activity suppress smc6-P4’s MMSMolecular Biology of your CellARad53-P RadWTmphmph1-hdsmc6-Psmc6-P4 mphsmc6-P4 mph1-hdB0.03 MMS Release from G1 arrest Rad53 stain T=0min T=120min Log-phase culture G1 arrest 0.03 MMS-+-+-+-+-+-+CRad53-P Rad53 0′ 20′ 40’WT 90′ 120′ 180′ 0′ 20’mph1 40′ 90′ 120′ 180′ 0′ 20’smc6-P4 40′ 90′ 120′ 180′ 0’smc6-P4 mph1 20′ 40′ min immediately after release 90′ 120′ 180′ to 0.03 MMS RadstainDWTmphsmc6-Psmc6-P4 mph1N2N1N2N1N2N1N2NFIGURE 1: Examination of Rad53 phosphorylation and bulk replication in cells defective in Mph1 and Smc6. (A) mph1 and smc6 mutations differentially influence Rad53 activation. Exponentially developing asynchronous cultures had been treated with 0.03 MMS for 2 h. Rad53 phosphorylation was examined in cells before ( and just after (+) MMS treatment by Western blot. The levels of Rad53 phosphorylation were decreased in smc6-P4 but enhanced in mph1, mph1-hd, smc6-P4 mph1, and smc6-P4 mph1-hd cells. Bottom, amido black stain of the gel.
