Previously, it has been shown that Aspergillus cells lacking the function of nimQ and the anaphase-promoting complex (APC) component bimEAPC1 enter mitosis without replicating DNA. Here nimQ is shown to encode an MCM2 homologue. Although mutation of nimQMCM2 inhibits initiation of DNA replication, a few cells do enter mitosis. Cells arrested at G1/S by lack of nimQMCM2 contain p34(cdc2)/cyclin B, but p34(cdc2) remains tyrosine dephosphorylated, even after DNA damage. However, arrest of DNA replication using hydroxyurea followed by inactivation of nimQMCM2 and bimEAPC1 does not abrogate the S phase arrest checkpoint over mitosis. nimQMCM2, likely via initiation of DNA replication, is therefore required to trigger tyrosine phosphorylation of p34(cdc2) during the G1 to S transition, which may occur by inactivation of nimTcdc25. Cells lacking both nimQMCM2 and bimEAPC1 are deficient in the S phase arrest checkpoint over mitosis because they lack both tyrosine phosphorylation of p34(cdc2) and the function of bimEAPC1. Initiation of DNA replication, which requires nimQMCM2, is apparently critical to switch mitotic regulation from the APC to include tyrosine phosphorylation of p34(cdc2) at G1/S. We also show that cells arrested at G1/S due to lack of nimQMCM2 continue to replicate spindle pole bodies in the absence of DNA replication and can undergo anaphase in the absence of APC function.
