Schizosaccharomyces pombe replication protein Cdc45/Sna41 requires Hsk1/Cdc7 and Rad4/Cut5 for chromatin binding.

Cdc45 is a conserved protein required for firing of replication origins and processive DNA replication. We used an in situ chromatin-binding assay to determine factors required for fission yeast Cdc45p chromatin binding. Assembly of the pre-replicative complex is essential for Cdc45p chromatin binding, but pre-replicative complex assembly occurs independently of ...
Cdc45p. Fission yeast Cdc45p associates with MCM proteins in asynchronously growing cells and cells arrested in S phase by hydroxyurea, but not in cells arrested at the G2/M transition. Both hsk1+ (the fission yeast CDC7 homologue) and rad4+/ cut5+ (the fission yeast DPB11 homologue) are required for Cdc45p chromatin binding. Cdc45p also remains chromatin-bound in mutants that fail to recover from replication arrest. In summary, Cdc45p chromatin binding requires an intact pre-replicative complex as well as signaling from both the Dbf4-dependent kinase and cyclin-dependent kinases.
