| Abstract | Commitment to mitosis is regulated by a conserved protein kinase complex called MPF (mitosis-promoting factor). MPF activation triggers a positive-feedback loop that further promotes the activity of its activating phosphatase Cdc25 and is assumed to down-regulate the MPF-inhibitory kinase Wee1. Four protein kinases contribute to this amplification loop: MPF itself, Polo kinase, MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) and Greatwall kinase. The fission yeast SPB (spindle pole body) component Cut12 plays a critical role in modulating mitotic commitment. In this review, I discuss the relationship between Cut12 and the fission yeast Polo kinase Plo1 in mitotic control. These results indicate that commitment to mitosis is co-ordinated by control networks on the spindle pole. I then describe how the Cut12/Plo1 control network links growth control signalling from TOR (target of rapamycin) and MAPK networks to the activation of MPF to regulate the timing of cell division. |
