The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cdc7p/Dbf4p protein kinase complex was purified to near homogeneity from insect cells. The complex efficiently phosphorylated yeast Mcm2p and less efficiently the remaining Mcm proteins or other replication proteins. Significantly, when pretreated with alkaline phosphatase, Mcm2p became completely inactive as a substrate, suggesting that it must be phosphorylated by other protein kinase(s) to be a substrate for the Cdc7p/Dbf4p complex. Mutant Cdc7p/Dbf4p complexes containing either Cdc7-1p or Dbf4-1 approximately 5p were also partially purified from insect cells and characterized in vitro. Furthermore, the autonomously replicating sequence binding activity of various dbf4 mutants was also analyzed. These studies suggest that the autonomously replicating sequence-binding and Cdc7p protein kinase activation domains of Dbf4p collaborate to form an active Cdc7p/Dbf4p complex and function during S phase in S. cerevisiae. It is shown that Rad53p phosphorylates the Cdc7p/Dbf4p complex in vitro and that this phosphorylation greatly inhibits the kinase activity of Cdc7p/Dbf4p. This result suggests that Rad53p controls the initiation of chromosomal DNA replication by regulating the protein kinase activity associated with the Cdc7p/Dbf4p complex.
