The cdc18 as a binding partner of Swi6 has no silencing defect at the centromere, but changes Swi6 distribution and accelerates the timing of centromere replication.
Title: S. pombe replication protein Cdc18 (Cdc6) interacts with Swi6 (HP1) heterochromatin protein: region specific effects and replication timing in the centromere.

S phase arrest activates the S phase checkpoint blocking mitosis onset and inhibiting Cdc18 degradation.
Title: Cdc18 enforces long-term maintenance of the S phase checkpoint by anchoring the Rad3-Rad26 complex to chromatin.

An elevated level of Cdc18 activates the Rad3-dependent checkpoint either directly or indirectly, and additionally causes expansion of the rDNA repeats on Chromosome III.
Title: Cdc18/CDC6 activates the Rad3-dependent checkpoint in the fission yeast.

demonstrated that within the promoter of cdc18+, a representative pre-S gene, the orientation and spacing of MCBs are crucial for activation and cell-cycle dependence
