Multiple phosphorylated forms of the product of the fission yeast cell division cycle gene cdc2+
1Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, NY 11724.
Abstract:
The 34 kilodalton protein product (p34) of the cdc2+ cell cycle control gene of Schizosaccharomyces pombe was expressed in bacteria. Monoclonal antibodies raised against this protein are capable of immunoprecipitating p34cdc2 from yeast lysates. Immunoprecipitates of [35S]methionine- and [32P]orthophosphate-labeled p34cdc2 were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The cdc2+ gene product is homogeneous in size but resolves into seven species of differing charge. At least four of these species are phosphorylated. Phosphoamino acid analysis reveals that phosphorylation occurs mainly on threonine residues. The pattern of p34 phosphorylation is unaltered at the nonpermissive temperature in strains carrying temperature sensitive alleles of weel-50 and ran1-114 or in a strain overproducing the ran1+ gene product.

M-Cdk Drives Transition Into Mitosis
Cyclin-dependent kinases, or Cdks, work in concert with cyclins to control cell cycle transitions. M-Cdk, a complex of Cdk1 bound to M cyclin, is a well-known example of this coordinated control that drives the transition from the G2 to the M phase.

Molecular Factors Affecting Cell Division
Several proteins function as internal regulators to ensure each cell cycle stage is completed faithfully before proceeding to the next. Regulator molecules may act directly or influence the activity or production of other...
