Cdc14p: A Mitotic Phosphatase Chelsi Kaiser, Whitney Franklin, & Dr. Kim Simons

What is Cdc14p?  Cdc14 is a budding yeast protein phosphatase  Part of the Mitotic Exit Network (MEN Complex)

Kinase vs. Phosphatase  Kinase – adds a phosphate to a molecule from ATP  Phosphatase – removes a phosphate by adding H 2 O

Mitosis Process by which eukaryotic cells divide chromosomes into two identical sets of nuclei. This occurs during cell division.

Ultimate Goal for Research  To determine what regulates Cdc14p in the Mitotic Exit Network  What makes it turn off and on  Important in cancer research

Experimental Methods  Most of our research so far has been preparation for the actual study of Cdc14p  Mutagenesis- get rid of restriction enzyme site  Purified CDC14 gene  PCR  Restriction Enzyme Digest  Put in vector - pGEX  DNA Gel

Mutagenesis M M

Gel of Digest PCR Product M CDC14C pGEX W pGEXCDC

Further Experiments  Fluorescent Phosphatase Assay – MUP  Cleave phosphate and it becomes fluorescent  Track activity by measuring fluorescence
