additional information | dynamics of the mitotic exit control system in budding yeast, Queralt's model, modifications, overview. Queralt's model centres around the non-proteolytic function of separase Esp1, which triggers a positive feedback in the activation of MEN by FEAR-induced release of Cdc14 | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
physiological function | separase Esp1 is a protease specialized in the cleavage of sister chromatid cohesion. When inhibitor securin Pds1 is degraded, Esp1 is activated, and cells transit into anaphase. Esp1, together with Clb2- and Polo-kinases, promotes Cdc14 activation through the FEAR network. Separase also leads to the activation of Cdc14 phosphatase. The phosphatase is kept inactive in the nucleolus by Net1 throughout the cell cycle until anaphase. The proteolytic function of separase causes spindle elongation by cohesin cleavage, which activates mitotic exit network, MEN, by bringing Tem1 together with its activator Lte1 | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
