Abstract

Checkpoint activation and gene expression modulation represent key determinants of cellular survival in adverse conditions. The former is regulated by Cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs) while the latter can be controlled by Mitogen Activated Protein Kinases (MAPKs). Association between cell cycle progression and MAPK dependent gene expression exists in cells growing in optimal environment also. While MAPK mediated regulation of cell cycle is well characterised, the reciprocal influence of mitotic CDK on stress response is not well studied. We present evidence that CDK activity can regulate the extent of MAPK activation in Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells. We show that increasing or decreasing mitotic CDK (Cdc2) activity in S. pombe cells can affect the activation of stress responsive MAPK (Spc1) even in absence of stress stimuli. Our results indicate that the strong correlation between Cdc2 activity and Spc1 MAPK activity in S. pombe is important regulating mitotic timing.
