The Mcm3 consensus CDK phosphorylation sites are required for nuclear exclusion of the Mcm2-7 complex. (A) Net nuclear export of NLS2-NLS3NES3-GFP3 is dependent on the consensus CDK phosphorylation sites in NLS3NES3. YJL4662 (crm1Δ trp1::{pGAL-NLS2-NLS3NES3-GFP3),TRP1} [crm1-T539C]), YJL5750 (trp1::{pGAL-NLS2-NLS3NES3-cdk5A-GFP3),TRP1}) and YJL5753 (trp1::{pGAL-NLS2-NLS3NES3-cdk4A-GFP3), TRP1}) growing exponentially and constitutively expressing their GFP3 fusion proteins in YEPGal medium were examined by fluorescence microscopy. (B) Mcm3 CDK consensus sites are required for nuclear exclusion of Mcm3. Fluorescent microscopy of nocodazole-arrested YJL2714 (GFP-mcm3-cdk4A), YJL2720 (GFP-mcm3-cdk5A), and YJL2314(GFP-mcm3-cdk7A). (C) Mcm3 Cdk consensus sites are required for nuclear exclusion of other Mcm subunits. Fluorescence microscopy of nocodazole-arrested YJL2033 (mcm2::{MCM2-GFP}), YJL4165 (mcm2::{MCM2-GFP} mcm3-cdk5A), YJL2160 (GFP-MCM3), YJL2720 (GFP-mcm3-cdk5A), YJL2037 (mcm4::{MCM4-GFP}), YJL4169 (mcm4::{MCM4-GFP}, mcm3-cdk5A), YJL2217 (mcm7::{MCM7-GFP}), and YJL4167 (mcm7:: {MCM7-GFP}, mcm3-cdk5A).
