Resumen
[EN]Cdc14 belongs to a dual-specificity phosphatase family highly conserved through evolution that preferentially reverses CDK (Cyclin dependent kinases)-dependent phosphorylation events. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Cdc14 is an essential regulator of
late mitotic stages and exit from mitosis by counteracting CDK activity at the end of mitosis. However, many studies have shown that Cdc14 is dispensable for exiting mitosis in all other model systems analyzed. In fission yeast, the Cdc14 homolog Flp1/Clp1 regulates the stability of the mitotic inducer Cdc25 at the end of mitosis to ensure Cdk1 inactivation before cytokinesis. We have recently reported that human Cdc14A, the Cdc14 isoform located at the centrosomes during interphase, downregulates Cdc25
activity at the G2/M transition to prevent premature activation of Cdk1-Cyclin B1 complexes and untimely entry into mitosis.
Here we speculate about new molecular mechanisms for Cdc14A and discuss the current evidence suggesting that Cdc14 phosphatase plays a role in cell cycle control in higher eukaryotes.
