Rapid degradation of the G1 cyclin Cln2 induced by CDK-dependent phosphorylation

Abstract

Cyclins regulate the major cell cycle transitions in eukaryotes through association with cyclin-dependent protein kinases (CDKs). In yeast, G1 cyclins are essential, rate-limiting activators of cell cycle initiation. G1-specific accumulation of one G1 cyclin, Cln2, results from periodic gene expression coupled with rapid protein turnover. Site-directed mutagenesis of CLN2 revealed that its phosphorylation provides a signal that promotes rapid degradation. Cln2 phosphorylation is dependent on the Cdc28 protein kinase, the CDK that it activates. These findings suggest that Cln2 is rendered self-limiting by virtue of its ability to activate its cognate CDK subunit.

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
