Cell cycle progression is driven by waves of cyclin expression coupled with regulated protein degradation. An essential step for initiating mitosis is the inactivation of proteolysis mediated by the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) bound to its regulator Cdh1p/Hct1p. Yeast APCCdh1 was proposed previously to be inactivated at Start by G1 cyclin/cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK). Here, we demonstrate that in a normal cell cycle APCCdh1 is inactivated in a graded manner and is not extinguished until S phase. Complete inactivation of APCCdh1 requires S phase cyclins. Further, persistent APCCdh1 activity throughout G1 helps to ensure the proper timing of Cdc20p expression. This suggests that S phase cyclins have an important role in allowing the accumulation of mitotic cyclins and further suggests a regulatory loop among S phase cyclins, APCCdh1, and APCCdc20.

Key Words: cell cycle; cyclin-dependent kinases; mitosis; • S phase; ubiquitin
