Ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis of
specific target proteins is required for several important steps during
the cell cycle. Degradation of such proteins is strictly cell
cycle-regulated and triggered by two large ubiquitin ligases, termed
anaphase-promoting complex (APC) and Skp1/Cullin/F-box complex (SCF).
Here we show that yeast Ran-binding protein 1 (Yrb1p), a predominantly
cytoplasmic protein implicated in nucleocytoplasmic transport, is
required for cell cycle regulated protein degradation. Depletion of
Yrb1p results in the accumulation of unbudded G1
cells and of cells arrested in mitosis implying a function of Yrb1p in
the G1/S transition and in the progression through mitosis.
Temperature-sensitive yrb1-51 mutants are defective in
APC-mediated degradation of the anaphase inhibitor protein Pds1p and in
degradation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor Sic1p,
a target of SCF. Thus, Yrb1p is crucial for efficient APC- and
SCF-mediated proteolysis of important cell cycle regulatory proteins.
We have identified the UBS1 gene as a multicopy suppressor
of yrb1-51 mutants. Ubs1p is a nuclear protein, and its
deletion is synthetic lethal with a yrb1-51 mutation. Interestingly, UBS1 was previously identified as a
multicopy suppressor of cdc34-2 mutants, which are
defective in SCF activity. We suggest that Ubs1p may represent a link
between nucleocytoplasmic transport and ubiquitin ligase activity.
