The chk1 pathway is required to prevent mitosis following cell-cycle arrest at ‘start’  Antony M. Carr, Mohammed Moudjou, Nicola J. Bentley, Iain M. Hagan  Current Biology  Volume 5, Issue 10, Pages 1179-1190 (October 1995) DOI: 10.1016/S0960-9822(95)00234-X

Figure 1 Cell-cycle progression in synchronous cdc10, cdc10 chk1 and cdc10 rad17 single-  and double-mutant cultures. In exponentially growing G2 cells from (a,d)cdc10-V50,(b,e)cdc10-V50 chk1-r27d and (c,f)cdc10-V50 rad17-d cultures synchronized using lactose gradients, the progress through the cell cycle was followed by (a–c) scoring for septation index at the permissive temperature (27 °C) and (d-f) scoring for both septation index and microtubule distribution at the restrictive temperature (36 °C). At the permissive temperatures, all cultures divided synchronously for several divisions as expected. At the restrictive temperature, cdc10 cells underwent a single normal division and then arrested as mononucleate cells with interphase microtubules. In contrast, both cdc10 chk1 and cdc10 rad17 cells continued into a second, catastrophic, mitosis without appreciable delay compared to the permissive-temperature control culture. Photomicrographs of the cells after staining for microtubules, SPBs and DNA are shown in Fig 2, Fig 3 and Fig 4. Current Biology 1995 5, 1179-1190DOI: (10.1016/S0960-9822(95)00234-X)

Figure 2 Photomicrographs of synchronized cdc10-V50 cells at 36 °C. (a–c) Time zero. Initially, cells are in interphase, with typical interphase microtubules, a single nucleus and a single SPB. (d–f) At the peak of the first mitosis, normal spindle structures are present and the DNA segregates equally to either pole. The SPBs have separated and a single one is present at each end of the spindle. (g–i) Interphase (240 min). Following the first mitosis, cells remain in interphase with typical interphase arrays on microtubules and no evidence of either SPB separation, spindle formation or attempted chromatic segregation. (j–o) Interphase. (j–l), 380 min; (m–o), 440 min. Cells remain in this state, while elongating as mass continues to accumulate. This is a typical cdc morphology.

Figure 3 (Facing page). Photomicrographs of synchronized cdc10-V50 chk1-r27d double-mutant cells at 36 °C. (a–c) Time zero. Initially cells are in interphase with typical interphase microtubules, a single nucleus and a single SPB. (d–f) The first peak of mitosis. Normal spindle structures are present and the DNA segregates equally to either pole. The SPB has duplicated and a single SPB is present at each end of the spindle. (g–i) interphase. Following the first mitosis, cells enter interphase with typical interphase arrays on microtubules and no evidence of either SPB separation, spindle formation or attempted chromatin segregation. (j–o) The second peak of mitosis. Cells then enter the second mitosis — the SPB separates, the interphase microtubules disappear and spindles are formed with an SPB at either end. The DNA, however, does not segregate properly and is often fragmented and stretched over the length of the spindle. The cells divide, with the septum often bisecting the nuclear material (data not shown). (p–u) The third attempt at mitosis. After cell division (cytokinesis), many cells rapidly form a spindle, suggesting that control of mitosis has completely broken down.

Figure 5 Inappropriate mitosis in chk1 strains is not due to incomplete arrest of cdc10 cultures or the synchronization method. (a–d)cdc10 arrest of synchronous cultures of cdc10-129 chk1-r27d double mutants in the presence of hydroxyurea. Cells were synchronized over lactose gradients and the culture split into four samples. (a,b) Two samples were incubated at 27 °C either (a) without or (b) with 10 mM hydroxyurea, which was added at time 60 min — immediately preceding the first mitosis. Cells were monitored for septation index. Hydroxyurea prevents the second attempt at mitosis (and thus septation) by blocking S phase and activating the DNA replication checkpoint, which remains intact in chk1 mutant cells. This is consistent with previous work which demonstrates that, under identical conditions, chk1−cells can arrest mitosis for over 8 h following the addition of hydroxyurea [16]. (c,d) The remaining two samples were incubated at 36 °C, one (c) without and one (d) with 10 mM hydroxyurea and scored in a similar manner. In this case, hydroxyurea did not prevent the second mitosis. This demonstrates that the second mitosis in chk-r27d cells which have lost Cdc10 function at the restrictive temperature is not due to cells leaking through the cdc10 block, passing through S phase and attempting mitosis with replicated DNA, but represents an attempt at mitosis before the cells initiate DNA synthesis. (e) Asynchronous cultures of cdc10-V50, cdc10-V50 chk1-r27d and cdc10-V50 rad17-d mutants at the restrictive temperature, monitored for septation index following a temperature shift from 27 °C to 36 °C at time zero. cdc10-V50 cells show a trough of septation starting at approximately 150 min which is not seen in the other cultures. This is consistent with no mitotic arrest in the double mutants following loss of Cdc10 function. (f) The addition of 10 mM hydroxyurea to an asynchronous culture of cdc10-V50 chk1-r27d cells at the same time as the temperature shift to the restrictive temperature (time zero) does not affect the kinetics of cell-cycle progression, confirming that these cells behave in an analogous manner to the synchronous cultures of cdc10-129 chk1-r27d cells shown in (a–d). (g,h) Pre-incubation of either (g) cdc10-V50 chk1-r27d or (h) cdc10-V50 rad17-d in 20 % lactose for 15 min prior to temperature shift does not affect the kinetics of cell-cycle progression.

Figure 6 Mitotic execution in cells arrested at start when Chk1 is missing is not specific to cdc10 mutants. Asynchronous cultures of res1, res1 rad17 or res1 chk1 cells were grown at 30 °C prior to shift to 37 °C for 6 h. Cell lengths were measured using an adaptation of NIH image software (Improvision, Coventry, UK). The cell-length distribution is plotted as length against frequency. Although the cell-size profiles of res1 single-mutant cells at the permissive temperature of 30 °C are skewed, with many longer cells visible, the profiles of the res1 chk1 and res1 rad17 double mutants resemble that of a wildtype population. In contrast to the single mutant, which clearly exhibits a cdc phenotype after shift to 37 °C (characterized by a much broader cell-size profile) the res1 chk1 and res1 rad17 double mutants show no change in their size profiles following a shift from 30 °C to 37 °C. Following the shift, cells were fixed and processed for immunofluorescence staining for microtubules and DNA as described in Materials and methods. Cut and anucleate cells accumulated in double-mutant populations (data not shown), indicating that abortive mitoses were occurring at a high frequency. The skewed variable cell-size distribution profile of the res1 mutant is a typical profile for a leaky cdc mutant as division size is random.

Figure 7 Radiation checkpoint measurements in rum1− cells. The duration of the radiation checkpoint-induced mitotic delay was measured in G2-synchronized rum1::ura4 and wild-type cells. Similar results were obtained for both strains, indicating that rum1 null cells are not defective in the radiation checkpoint. Current Biology 1995 5, 1179-1190DOI: (10.1016/S0960-9822(95)00234-X)

Figure 8 Model for mitotic entry checkpoints in S. pombe. Prior to the commitment to DNA synthesis, pre-initiation complexes could generate a signal via a Chk1-dependent pathway which inhibits mitosis. Following the formation of replication complexes, a Chk1-independent pathway can generate a signal that prevents mitosis from occurring. At any point in the cycle, the Chk1-dependent DNA-damage checkpoint can respond to DNA damage/repair structures to prevent mitosis. Work reported by Hayles and Nurse [32] suggests that nitrogen-starved G0 cells prevent mitosis via a Chk1-independent pathway. Current Biology 1995 5, 1179-1190DOI: (10.1016/S0960-9822(95)00234-X)
