Cdc14 activation requires coordinated Cdk1-dependent phosphorylation of Net1 and PP2A-Cdc55 at anaphase onset.

Exit from mitosis and completion of cytokinesis require the inactivation of mitotic cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) activity. In budding yeast, Cdc14 phosphatase is a key mitotic regulator that is activated in anaphase to counteract Cdk activity. In metaphase, Cdc14 is kept inactive in the nucleolus, where it is sequestered by its ...
inhibitor, Net1. At anaphase onset, downregulation of PP2ACdc55 phosphatase by separase and Zds1 protein promotes Net1 phosphorylation and, consequently, Cdc14 release from the nucleolus. The mechanism by which PP2ACdc55 activity is downregulated during anaphase remains to be elucidated. Here, we demonstrate that Cdc55 regulatory subunit is phosphorylated in anaphase in a Cdk1-Clb2-dependent manner. Interestingly, cdc55-ED phosphomimetic mutant inactivates PP2ACdc55 phosphatase activity towards Net1 and promotes Cdc14 activation. Separase and Zds1 facilitate Cdk-dependent Net1 phosphorylation and Cdc14 release from the nucleolus by modulating PP2ACdc55 activity via Cdc55 phosphorylation. In addition, human Cdk1-CyclinB1 phosphorylates human B55, indicating that the mechanism is conserved in higher eukaryotes.
