Synergistic CDK control pathways maintain cell size homeostasis

To coordinate cell size with cell division, cell size must be computed by the cyclin-CDK control network to trigger division appropriately. Here we dissect determinants of cyclin-CDK activity using a novel high-throughput single-cell in vivo system. We show that inhibitory phosphorylation of CDK encodes cell size information and works synergistically with PP2A to prevent division in smaller cells. However, even in the absence of all canonical regulators of cyclin-CDK, small cells with high cyclin-CDK levels are restricted from dividing. We find that diploid cells of equivalent size to haploid cells exhibit lower CDK activity in response to equal cyclin-CDK enzyme concentrations, suggesting that CDK activity is reduced by DNA concentration. Thus, multiple pathways directly regulate cyclin-CDK activity to maintain robust cell size homeostasis.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
