Phosphorylation of Clb5-specific targets during S phase was reduced by replacing Clb5 with Clb2 or by mutating the substrate RXL motif, confirming the importance of Clb5 specificity in vivo. Paper-11170084.
Conversely, deletion of the mitogen-activated protein kinase HOG1 does prevent Clb2p- Cdc28p inhibition by hypertonic stress, but does not block Cdc28p phosphorylation or alleviate the cell cycle delay. Paper-8814594.
Two new B-type cyclin genes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, called CLB5 and CLB6, are located in a tail to tail arrangement adjacent to the G2/ M phase promoting cyclins CLB2 and CLB1, respectively. Paper-106530.
Correlating with this phenotype, bud3(Delta1221) cells exhibit a pronounced (15-30 minutes) delay in cytokinesis and/or cell separation, suggesting an unanticipated function of Clb2 in these late mitotic events. Paper-9984159.
In budding yeast, a protein called Nap1 binds to the mitotic cyclin Clb2, and Nap1 is required for the ability of Clb2 to induce specific mitotic events, but the role played by Nap1 is unclear. Paper-1111925.
