DNA synthesis occurs in the S phase, or the synthesis phase, of the cell cycle. The cell duplicates its hereditary material, and two copies of the chromosome are formed. As DNA replication continues, the E type cyclins shared by the G1 and S phases, are destroyed and the levels of the mitotic cyclins rise.

In this final phase of mitosis, new membranes are formed around two sets of chromatids and two daughter cells are formed. The chromosomes and the spindle fibers disperse, and the fiber ring around the center of the cell, composed of actin, contracts, pinching the cell into two daughter cells.
The dissolution of the nuclear membrane marks the beginning of the prometaphase. Kinetochores are created when proteins attach to the centromeres. Microtubules then attach at the kinetochores, and the chromosomes begin to move to the metaphase plate.
The actual synthesis of DNA occurs in the S phase of the cell cycle. This includes the initiation of DNA replication, when the first nucleotide of the new strand is laid down during the synthesis of the primer. The DNA replication preinitiation events begin in late M or early G1 phase.
The pRB C-terminus contains a cluster of seven candidate in vivo cdk phosphorylation sites (residues 795, 807, 811, 821, and 826) and is phosphorylated in vitro by cyclin A, cyclin E, and cyclin D-associated kinases.
The CDK activity of the Cyclin A:Cdk2 complex is inhibited by phosphorylation at Tyr-15 by the WEE1 kinase (Gu et al. 1992, Wu et al. 2001). WEE1-mediated phosphorylation of cyclin A-bound CDK2 is positively regulated by CABLES1 (Wu et al. 2001).
p27 translocates to the nucleoplasm where it associates with CyclinE:Cdk2 complexes. Localization of p27 to the nucleus is necessary to inhibit Cdk activation by Cdk-activating kinase.
The interaction between the Skp2 subunit of the SCF(Skp2) complex and p27 is dependent upon Cdk2:Cyclin A/E mediated phosphorylation of p27 at Thr 187 (Carrano et al, 1999; Tsvetkov et al, 1999). There is evidence that Cyclin A/B:Cdk1 can also bind and phosphorylate p27 on Thr 187 (Nakayama et al., 2004). This phosphorylation is also essential for the subsequent ubiquitination of p27.
The accessory protein, Cks1 promotes efficient interaction between phosphorylated p27 and the SCF (Skp2) complex (Ganoth et al., 2001; Spruck et al., 2001). Cks1 binds to Skp2 in the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain and C-terminal tail (Hao et al., 2005). The phosphorylated Thr187 side chain of p27 associates with a phosphate binding site on Cks1, and the side chain containing Glu185 is positioned in the interface between Skp2 and Cks1 where it interacts with both (Hao et al., 2005).
Recognition of p27 by SCF(Skp2) and the subsequent ubiquitination of p27 is dependent upon Cyclin E/A:Cdk2-mediated phosphorylation of p27 at Thr 187 (Montagnoli et al., 1999). p21 is also phosphorylated at a specific site (Ser130) by Cyclin E/A:Cdk2, stimulating its ubiquitination. Unlike p27, however, p21 ubiquitination can take place in the absence of phosphorylation, although with less efficiency (Bornstein et al.,2003).
During G1, the activity of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) is controlled by the CDK inhibitors (CKIs) CDKN1A (p21) and CDKN1B (p27), thereby preventing premature entry into S phase (Guardavaccaro and Pagano, 2006).
Active Cyclin A:Cdk2 complexes phosphorylate and inactivate proteins required for maintaining the G1/S phase including. In addition to CDKN1A and CDKN1B, the active CCNA:p-T160-CDK2 complex also phosphorylates FZR1 (Cdh1) and RB1. All this creates auto-amplification loops that render Cdk2 increasingly more active. In G2, Cdk2, in association with cyclin A, phosphorylates E2F1 and E2F3 resulting in the inactivation and possibly degradation of these two transcription factors (Dynlacht et al., 1994; Krek et al., 1994).
Phosphorylation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) by the CDK-activating kinase (CAK) is required for the activation of the CDK kinase activity. The association of p21/p27 with the Cyclin A/E:Cdk2 complex prevents CAK mediated phosphorylation of Cdk2 (Aprelikova et al., 1995).
Binding of the MYC:MAX heterodimer to MYC response elements in the first and second intron of the CDC25A gene activates CDC25A transcription in mid to late G1 (Galaktionov et al. 1996). Transcription of the CDC25A gene can be directly activated by E2F1 (DeGregori et al. 1995, Vigo et al. 1999). Transcription of the CDC25A gene is directly inhibited by the DREAM complex (Litovchick et al. 2007).
Phosphorylation of p27Kip1 at T157 and of p21Cip1 at T145 by AKT leads to their retention in the cytoplasm, segregating these cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors from cyclin-CDK complexes.
Acetyltransferases ESCO1 and ESCO2 are homologs of the S. cerevisiae acetyltransferase Eco1, essential for viability in yeast. ESCO1 and ESCO2 share sequence homology in the C-terminal region, consisting of a H2C2 zinc finger motif and an acetyltransferase domain (Hou and Zou 2005). Both ESCO1 and ESCO2 acetylate the cohesin subunit SMC3 on two lysine residues, K105 and K106 (Zhang et al. 2008), an important step in the establishment of sister-chromatid cohesion during the S-phase of the cell cycle. These dual acetylations on SMC3 are deacetylated by HDAC8 after the cohesin removal from chromatin for the dissociation and recycling of cohesin subunits (Deardorff et al. 2012). ESCO1 and ESCO2 differ in their N-termini, which are necessary for chromatin binding, and may perform distinct functions in sister chromatid cohesion (Hou and Zou 2005), as suggested by the study of Esco2 knockout mice (Whelan et al. 2012).
CDCA5 (Sororin) is essential for the establishment of sister chromatid cohesion in mammalian cells (Rankin et al. 2005) in the S-phase of the cell cycle (Nishiyama et al. 2010). Several factors contribute to the recruitment of CDCA5 to chromatin-associated cohesin: DNA replication (i.e. presence of two sister chromatids), association of cohesin complex with PDS5, and acetylation of the SMC3 cohesin subunit by ESCO1/ESCO2 acetyltransferases. Experiments in which a recombinant tagged mouse CDCA5 was expressed in human HeLa cell line showed that CDCA5 starts to accumulate on chromatin in S-phase and dissociates from chromosomal arms in prophase (Nishiyama et al. 2010).
CDCA5 is essential for the establishment of chromosomal cohesion only in the presence of WAPAL, suggesting that the key role of CDCA5 (Sororin) is to antagonize WAPAL. Both CDCA5 and WAPAL contain an FGF (phenylalanine-glycine-phenylalanine) motif that is essential for PDS5 binding and is also essential for CDCA5 function in cohesion establishment. Indeed, CDCA5 is able to displace WAPAL from PDS5:WAPAL heterodimers in vitro. In vivo experiments in Xenopus egg extracts suggest that CDCA5 rearranges the topology of cohesin associated proteins so that WAPAL is no longer able to inhibit sister chromatid cohesion but remains associated with cohesin (Nishiyama et al. 2010).
CDCA5 (Sororin) is essential for the establishment of sister chromatid cohesion at centromeres. Experiments in which a recombinant tagged mouse CDCA5 was expressed in human HeLa cell line showed that CDCA5 starts to accumulate on chromatin in S-phase and dissociates from centromeres in anaphase (Nishiyama et al. 2010).
Acetyltransferases ESCO1 and ESCO2 are homologs of the S. cerevisiae acetyltransferase Eco1, essential for viability in yeast. ESCO1 and ESCO2 share sequence homology in the C-terminal region, consisting of a H2C2 zinc finger motif and an acetyltransferase domain (Hou and Zou 2005). Both ESCO1 and ESCO2 acetylate the cohesin subunit SMC3 on two lysine residues, K105 and K106 (Zhang et al. 2008), an important step in the establishment of sister-chromatid cohesion during the S-phase of the cell cycle. Divergent N-termini of ESCO1 and ESCO2, necessary for chromatin binding, suggest that ESCO1 and ESCO2 may perform distinct functions in sister chromatid cohesion (Hou and Zou 2005). Several studies suggest that ESCO2 may be predominantly involved in acetylation of the SMC3 subunit of centromeric cohesin. A conditional targeting of Esco2 locus in mice leads to pre-implantational loss of homozygous Esco2 -/- embryos at the eight-cell stage. Prometaphase chromosomes isolated from two-cell stage Esco2 knockout embryos show marked cohesion defect at centromeres (Whelan et al. 2012). ESCO2 protein appears in the S-phase (Hou and Zou 2005, Whelan et al. 2012) and in mouse embryonic fibroblasts Esco2 predominantly localizes to pericentric heterochromatin (Whelan et al. 2012). Mutations in the ESCO2 gene (Vega et al. 2005) that impair ESCO2 acetyltransferase activity (Gordillo et al. 2008) are the cause of the Roberts syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by craniofacial and limb abnormalities, and intellectual disability. Metaphase chromosomes of Roberts syndrome patients exhibit loss of cohesion at heterochromatic regions of centromeres and the Y chromosome, with a characteristic 'railroad track appearance' (Van den Berg and Francke 1993, Vega et al. 2005).
At the beginning of this reaction, 1 molecule of 'Cyclin D1:Cdk4', and 1 molecule of 'ATP' are present. At the end of this reaction, 1 molecule of 'phospho(T286)-Cyclin D1:Cdk4', and 1 molecule of 'ADP' are present.
This reaction takes place in the 'nucleus' and is mediated by the 'kinase activity' of 'glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta'.
Activated PTK6 (BRK) binds to CDKN1B (p27KIP1) that is in a complex with CDK4 and cyclin D1 (CCND1). Since PTK6 increases cyclin E1 (CCNE1) levels downstream of ERBB2 while decreasing CDKN1B levels, PTK6 probably also associates with CDKN1B bound to the complex of CCNE1 and CDK2 (Xiang et al. 2008).
PTK6 (BRK) phosphorylates CDKN1B (p27KIP1) bound to the complex of CDK4 and CCND1 (cyclin D1) on tyrosine residue Y88 and possibly other tyrosines (e.g. Y89) (Patel et al. 2015). Based on the finding that PTK6 promotes ERBB2-induced increase in cyclin E1 (CCNE1) levels and decrease in CDKN1B levels (Xiang et al. 2008), and supported by the analogy with other SRC family kinases that phosphorylate CDKN1B (Grimmler et al. 2007), PTK6 is likely to also phosphorylate CDKN1B bound to the complex of CCNE1 and CDK2. Phosphorylation of CDKN1B (p27KIP1) on tyrosine residue Y88 by SRC family kinases dislodges the 3-10 helix of CDKN1B from the active site of CDK2 or CDK4, thus converting CDKN1B from a bound inhibitor to a bound non-inhibitor (Grimmler et al. 2007, Ray et al. 2009).
