A bifurcation in CDK activity at mitotic exit predicts the proliferation-quiescence decision.

(A–D) Single-cell traces of CDK activity for all quantified C. elegans (A, B) and zebrafish (C) cell births for CDKinc cells (green) and CDKlow cells (black). DHB ratio of single-cell data (A, C) and mean ± 95% confidence intervals (B) are plotted for each cell analyzed relative to anaphase. A solid green arrowhead indicates a population of fast cycling CDKinc cells while the open green arrowhead indicates a population of CDKinc cells that may be slow cycling in an extended G1 phase. (E) A stacked bar graph of predicted vs. actual cell fates for the D, dividing D, C, and dividing C cells, based on a classifier trained on post-anaphase CDK activity in VPC trace data. (E) A model for the metazoan commitment point argues that the G1/G0 decision is influenced by a maternal input of CKI activity and that CDK activity shortly after mitotic exit can determine future cell fate.

Figure 8—figure supplement 1
Statistical evaluation of the predictive model for future cell behavior in C. elegans and a schematic describing the method used for statistical simulations.

Related to Figure 8. (A) Predictability of CDK activity on cell fate over time since anaphase. To evaluate the predictability of CDK activity (readout as the ratio of cytoplasmic-to-nuclear intensity of the CDK sensor) on proliferative vs. quiescent cell fate in different cell-cycle phases in C. elegans, we created a Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve for CDK activity at each time point relative to anaphase. Using the perfcurve function in MATLAB, we calculated the area under the curve (AUC) as the indicator of predictability. (B) Example ROCs that are used to calculate AUC in (A). (C) A histogram of all data points aggregated ≥50 min after anaphase shows that DHB ratios follow a bimodal distribution, suggesting the presence of two populations. (D) Raw data for each cell type/lineage are grouped together and mean time courses generated. (E) The area between these mean trendlines is then calculated. (D’) The assignment between experimental condition groups is randomized, mean time courses are calculated, and (E’) the area between the curves is calculated and recorded (purple line in F’). The randomization procedure, (D’) and (E’), is repeated 100,000,000 times generating a simulated distribution of the difference statistic: (F’). The true value of the difference statistic is compared to the distribution in (F’) generating a p-value (F) corresponding to the proportion of values more extreme than the observed difference statistic (i.e. the number of simulations in the magenta region, divided by the total number of simulations (108)).

  1. *The ZF degron in CDT-1::ZF::GFP does not cause degradation, because the zif-1(gk117) null allele removes the E3 ligase component ZIF-1 that recognizes the ZF tag (Sallee et al., 2018).
