Phosphorylation of human Fen1 by cyclin-dependent kinase modulates its role in replication fork regulation

Abstract: Cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) Cdk1-Cyclin A can phosphorylate Flap endonuclease 1 (Fen1), a key-enzyme of the DNA replication machinery, in late S phase. Cdk1-cyclin A forms a complex in vitro and in vivo with Fen1. Furthermore, Fen1 phosphorylation is detected in vivo and depends upon Cdks activity. As a functional consequence of phosphorylation by Cdk1-Cyclin A in vitro, endo-and exonuclease activities of Fen1 are reduced whereas its DNA binding is not affected. Moreover, phosphorylation of Fen1 by Cdk1-Cycl… Show more

“…Fen1 functionally and physically interacts with pol ß to promote strand displacement and flap hydrolysis [11,120]. The functionality of Fen1 is further modified by phosphorylation [121] and acetylation [122,123], each modification providing a different level of regulation. Whereas phosphorylation prevents Fen1-mediated stimulation of PCNA, acetylation by p300 appears to reduce the ability of Fen1 to bind to DNA and to function as a nuclease, with no effect on its PCNA interaction (Table III).…”

“…FEN1 is involved in the processing of Okazaki fragments during DNA replication in S phase, and is phosphorylated by cyclin A-dependent kinases, which are only active at this specific stage of the cell cycle [46]. Although lacking a regular PDSM motif, the three-dimensional structure of the protein reveals that a phosphorylated serine residue lies adjacent to the SUMO acceptor site [47].…”

“…The exact role of Fen1 in replication fork movement upon DNA damage is not yet known. A reasonable model describes Fen1 to play a role in the conversion of stalled replication forks into recombination substrates, which are involved in repairing collapsed replication forks (Henneke et al, 2003;Sharma et al, 2004). Irrespective of the exact mechanism of cellular recovery from DNA replication blockage, the inability of MEFs lacking p53 to upregulate Fen1 might cause accumulation of arrested replication forks, nuclease attack at collapsed forks and the formation of lethal DNA double-strand breaks.…”
