... repressed state essential for cell survival in stressful environments. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe , cell size is reduced by cell division before entry into stationary phase; thus cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) must actively contribute to stationary phase establishment. However...

...Souradeep Basu; James O. Patterson; Theresa U. Zeisner; Paul Nurse ABSTRACT The eukaryotic cell cycle is driven by the activity of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). CDK activity rises over 50-fold during the cell cycle, from a low level in G1 to a high level in mitosis. However, it is not known...

...Yang Ma; Guanxiong Yan; Xiaojie Han; Jing Zhang; Jie Xiong; Wei Miao ABSTRACT To investigate the mechanisms underlying initiation of the sexual cell cycle in eukaryotes, we have focused on cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) in the well-studied model ciliate, Tetrahymena thermophila . We...

... provided that the original work is properly attributed. Summary: Phosphorylation of importin-α1 by cyclin-dependent kinase 1 provides spatial and temporal control of mitotic spindle assembly through the release of spindle-assembly factors from inhibitory complexes during mitosis. Mitosis...

...Brendan L. Powers; Mark C. Hall ABSTRACT Inactivation of cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) and reversal of Cdk phosphorylation are universally required for mitotic exit. In budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), Cdc14 is essential for both and thought to be the major Cdk-counteracting phosphatase...

...Daniel Fisher; Liliana Krasinska; Damien Coudreuse; Béla Novák Summary Fifteen years ago, it was proposed that the cell cycle in fission yeast can be driven by quantitative changes in the activity of a single protein kinase complex comprising a cyclin – namely cyclin B – and cyclin dependent kinase...

...Chang-Run Li; Jie-Ying Au Yong; Yan-Ming Wang; Yue Wang Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) regulate septin organization in a cell-cycle-dependent manner in yeast. However, the mechanism remains unclear. Here, we show that the Candida albicans CDK Cdc28 phosphorylates the Nim1-related kinase Gin4...

...Dongli Hu; Marcus Valentine; Vincent J. Kidd; Jill M. Lahti Cyclin-dependent kinase 11 (CDK11) mRNA produces a 110-kDa protein (CDK11 p110) throughout the cell cycle and a 58-kDa protein (CDK11 p58) that is specifically translated from an internal ribosome entry site sequence during G2/M. CDK11...

...Stephen M. Huisman; Monique F. M. A. Smeets; Marisa Segal Spindle morphogenesis is regulated by cyclin-dependent kinases and monitored by checkpoint pathways to accurately coordinate chromosomal segregation with other events in the cell cycle. We have previously dissected the contribution...

...Chun Y. Gao; Mary Ann Stepp; Robert Fariss; Peggy Zelenka Recent studies have shown that Cdk5, a member of the cyclin-dependent-kinase family, regulates adhesion and migration in a mouse corneal epithelial cell line. Here, we extend these findings to corneal wound healing in vivo and examine...

...Tatiana García-Muse; Gero Steinberg; José Pérez-Martín Pathogenesis, morphogenesis and cell cycle are connected in the fungal pathogen Ustilago maydis . Here we report the characterization of the catalytic subunit of the cyclin-dependent kinase, encoded by the gene cdk1 , and the two B-type...

...Anabelle Decottignies; Patrick Zarzov; Paul Nurse We investigated the in vivo localisation of fission yeast cyclin-dependent kinase cdc2p during mitosis and meiosis. Fusion to yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) revealed that cdc2-YFP is present in the cytoplasm at all stages of the cell cycle...

Central components of this mechanism are the cyclin-dependent protein...

The cyclin-dependent kinases p34 cdc2 and p33 cdk2 have a relatively rigid phosphorylation site specificity of a serine or threonine residue followed by a proline...
