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.
Sporulation experiments on strains deleted for one, two, or three Clbs indicate, in agreement with the biochemical data, that Clb1 is the primary cyclin for the regulation of meiosis, while Clb2 is not involved at all. Paper-85772.
The transition from low to high Clb2-dependent kinase activity is driven by transient activation of Cln2-dependent kinase, and the reverse transition is driven by transient activation of the Clb2 degradation machinery. Paper-10614692.
Taken together, our data uncover a new role for Bud3 in cytokinesis that correlates with its capacity to target Clb2 at the neck, independently of its well established cell-type-specific function in bud site selection. Paper-9984159.
We show that the inactivation of PKA or expression of phosphorylation-defective Cdc20 proteins accelerates securin and Clb2 destruction in chk1 mutants and is sufficient to remove most of the DNA damage-induced delay. Paper-10204591.
The Mcm1p- Fkh2p complex, in combination with the coactivator Ndd1p, plays an important role in the cell cycle-dependent expression of the CLB2 gene cluster during the G2 and M phases ([4-7]; see [8-10]for reviews). Paper-10181049.
CDK activity affects Cdc6 function by multiple mechanisms: CDK activity affects transcription of CDC6, degradation of Cdc6, nuclear import of Cdc6, and binding of Cdc6 to Clb2. Paper-12478287.
Our experiments also suggest that NAP1 is required for the ability of the Clb2/p34CDC28 kinase complex to amplify its own production, and that NAP1 plays a role in regulation of microtubule dynamics during mitosis. Paper-299608.
In separate experiments, designed to examine the effects of inducing either the G1 cyclin Cln3p or the B-type cyclin Clb2p, we found that the mRNA levels of more than half of these 800 genes respond to one or both of these cyclins. Paper-1705556.
The forkhead transcription factor Fkh2p acts in a DNA- bound complex with Mcm1p and the coactivator Ndd1p to regulate cell cycle-dependent expression of the CLB2 gene cluster in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Paper-10604593.
The MADS-box transcription factor Mcm1p and forkhead (FKH) transcription factor Fkh2p act in a DNA- bound complex to regulate cell-cycle dependent expression of the CLB2 cluster in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Paper-9663606.
We have found that the essential Reb1 transcription factor binds with high affinity to a sequence upstream of CLB2, within a region implicated previously by others in regulated expression, but upstream of the known G2/M-specific site. Paper-9783876.
This cell cycle arrest can be overcome and partial suppression of the ts phenotype of rts1-null cells occurs if the gene CLB2, encoding a Cdc28 kinase-associated B-type cyclin, is expressed on a high-copy-number plasmid. Paper-1027308.
Cell cycle-regulated transcription of CLB2 in the G2/ M phase is known to be brought about by a set of proteins including Mcm1p, Fkh2/1p and Ndd1p that associate with a 35 bp G2/M-specific sequence common to a set of co-regulated genes. Paper-9783876.
These results demonstrate that the activation of Gin4 is under the control of Clb2 and Nap1, and they provide an important step towards elucidating the molecular pathways that link cyclin-dependent kinases to the events they control. Paper-1111925.
Here we show that this relationship between anaphase-promoting complex (APC) and Clb proteins is reversed in S phase such that the early Clb kinases ( Clb3, Clb4, and Clb5 kinases) inactivate APC(Hct1) to allow Clb2 accumulation. Paper-9011353.
Coexpression of truncated Rts1p and high levels of Clb2p fully suppresses the ts phenotype, indicating that the inhibition of growth of rts1-null cells at high temperatures is due to both stress-related and cell cycle-related defects. Paper-1027308.
This defect was not suppressed by deletion of CLB2, which is involved in switching from polar to isotropic bud growth, indicating that the observed phenotype is not the result of Whi3 acting solely as a negative regulator of cyclin Clb2. Paper-13813359.
In fact, overexpression of CLB2 is toxic when ROT1 is partially inactivated, and reciprocally, deletion of CLB2 suppresses the lethality of the rot1 mutant, which indicates a functional antagonism between Clb2 and Rot1. Paper-13322897.
Although we did not identify any highly Clb2-specific substrates, we found that Clb2- Cdk1 possessed higher intrinsic kinase activity than Clb5- Cdk1, enabling efficient phosphorylation of a broad range of mitotic Cdk1 targets. Paper-11170084.
Using specific clb deletion mutants and plasmid or genomic HA epitope-tagged CLBs, we show that one of these complexes is composed almost exclusively (93% or greater) of Clb2p- Cdc28p, whereas the other is mainly (75% or greater) Clb3p- Cdc28p. Paper-1911441.
Furthermore, we find that inactivation of Cln- and Clb- Cdc28 kinases is sufficient to trigger Clb2 proteolysis and sister-chromatid separation in G2/M phase-arrested cells, where the B-type cyclin-specific proteolysis machinery is normally inactive. Paper-1046780.
We discuss the possibility that the CLB2 gene is coregulated with other genes known to be regulated with the same periodicity and suggest that Mcm1 and the ternary complex factor may coordinately regulate several other G2-regulated transcripts. Paper-240970.
Destruction of the anaphase inhibitor Pds1p is necessary for separation of sister chromatids, whereas destruction of the mitotic cyclin Clb2p is important for disassembly of the mitotic spindle, cytokinesis and re-replication of the genome. Paper-1371781.
We identified a complex array of genetic interactions among these mutants and found that the growth defect in most of the mutants is suppressed by overexpression of SPO12, YAK1, and SIC1 and is exacerbated by overproduction of the mitotic cyclin Clb2. Paper-1623189.
CLB5::CLB2 exhibited almost no rescue of clb5-specific replication defects, although it could rescue clb1 clb2 lethality, and in synchronized cells Clb2p-associated kinase activity from CLB5::CLB2 rose early in the cell cycle, similar to that of Clb5p. Paper-1951184.
G1-specific cyclins encoded by CLN1, CLN2, and CLN3 are required for entry into the cell cycle (Start) and thereby for S phase, whereas G2-specific B-type cyclins encoded by CLB1, CLB2, CLB3, and CLB4 are required for mitosis. Paper-94143.
A point mutation in the CLB2 UAS which blocked ternary complex formation, but still allowed Mcm1 to bind, resulted in loss of cell cycle regulation in vivo, suggesting that the ternary complex factor is also important in control of CLB2 transcription. Paper-240970.
In agreement with the idea that cdc14 mutations elevate Clb- Cdc28 kinase activity, deletion of the gene for the Clb- Cdc28 inhibitor Sic1 caused synthetic lethality with cdc14-1, as did the deletion of HCT1, which is required for proteolysis of Clb2p. Paper-2152209.
The clb2 cdc14 strains arrested with replicated but unseparated DNA and unseparated spindle pole bodies; this phenotype is distinct from the late mitotic arrest of the sic1::TRP1 cdc14-1 and the cdc14-1 hct1::LEU2 double mutants and of the cdc14 CLN2 overexpressor. Paper-2152209.
Together, these results demonstrate that NAP1 is required for the normal function of the activated Clb2/p34CDC28 kinase complex, and provide a step towards understanding how cyclin-dependent kinase complexes induce specific events during the cell cycle. Paper-299608.
We showed that accumulation of CLB2 transcripts in G2 cells is controlled at the transcriptional level and identified a 55-bp upstream activating sequence (UAS) containing an Mcm1 binding site as being necessary and sufficient for cell cycle regulation. Paper-240970.
We present evidence that strongly suggests that Cdc20 is an essential regulator of APC-dependent proteolysis such that in the absence of Cdc20, cells are unable to degrade either Pds1 at the onset of anaphase or the mitotic cyclin Clb2 during telophase. Paper-1401489.
Cdc15p is an essential protein kinase and functions with a group of late mitotic proteins that includes Lte1p, Tem1p, Cdc14p and Dbf2p/ Dbf20p to inactivate Cdc28p- Clb2p at the end of mitosis in budding yeast [1] [2]. Paper-8351046.
Prolonging polarized growth phases by disrupting the G(2)/M cyclin gene CLB2 enhances the accuracy of bud site selection in wild-type, spa2Delta, and ste20Delta cells, whereas shortening the polarized growth phases by deleting SWE1 decreases the fidelity of bipolar budding. Paper-8395421.
Swe1 phosphorylation by Clb2- Cdc28, which is thought to activate Swe1 kinase, depends on N260 and K270, suggesting that specific regulation of Clb2- Cdc28 by Swe1 derives from the specific ability of Clb2 to target Swe1 for activating phosphorylation. Paper-12836884.
Because the cell cycle machinery participates in Saccharomyces cerevisiae filamentous growth, we characterized in detail the two C. albicans B-type cyclins, CLB2 and CLB4, to better understand the molecular mechanisms that underlie the C. albicans morphogenic switch. Paper-11096433.
Interestingly, deletions in either FKH1 or FKH2 alone caused subtle but opposite effects on cell-cycle progression and CLB2 mRNA expression, consistent with a role for each of these genes in modulating the cell cycle and having opposing effects on silencing. Paper-8359820.
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the MADS-box protein Mcm1, which is highly related to mammalian SRF (serum response factor), forms a ternary complex with SFF (Swi five factor) to regulate the cell cycle expression of genes such as SWI5, CLB2 and ACE2. Paper-8425525.
We show here that CLB2 proteolysis, which is important for transition from mitosis to G1, is not confined to a narrow window at the end of mitosis as previously thought but continues until reactivation of CDC28 by CLN cyclins toward the end of the subsequent G1 period. Paper-125310.
The stable association of Swe1 with Clb2- Cdc28 also depends on these residues, suggesting that Swe1 may competitively inhibit Clb2- Cdc28 interactions with substrates, in addition to its well-known function as a regulator of CDK activity through tyrosine phosphorylation. Paper-12836884.
In particular, we find that Cdc5p is temporally recruited to promoters of the cell-cycle- regulated CLB2 gene cluster, where it targets the Mcm1p- Fkh2p- Ndd1p transcription factor complex, through direct phosphorylation of the coactivator protein Ndd1p. Paper-12329497.
Thus, genes that are co-induced during G1/S of the mitotic cell cycle, the dynamics of the septin Cdc10 and the kinetics of accumulation of the cyclin Clb2 all exhibit distinct patterns of regulation during spore germination, which allow the separation of cell growth from nuclear events. Paper-13453954.
Furthermore, the ability of Swe1 to inhibit the activity of different B-type cyclins in replication initiation correlates with the normal expression timing of those cyclins, with no apparent in vivo inhibition of Clb5 and Clb6, moderate inhibition of Clb3 and Clb4, and strong inhibition of Clb2. Paper-11126644.
Because conserved cell cycle regulators, the mitotic cyclin-dependent kinase Clb2/ Cdc28, and its inhibitor Swe1 were found to be involved in both nitrogen starvation- and short chain alcohol-induced filamentous differentiation, they were identified as components of the core mechanism for filamentous differentiation. Paper-10117658.
This study shows that the combination of early cell cycle expression and deletion of the CDK inhibitor Saccharomyces Wee1 ( Swe1) enables the mitotic B-type (Clb) cyclins Clb2, Clb3, and Clb4 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to initiate S phase with similar effectiveness as the S-phase cyclin Clb5. Paper-11126644.
Mutations in three other genes ( GIN4, encoding a kinase related to the Schizosaccharomyces pombe mitotic inducer Nim1p; CLA4, encoding a p21-activated kinase; and NAP1, encoding a Clb2p-interacting protein) also produce perturbations of septin organization associated with an Swe1p-dependent cell cycle delay. Paper-8457327.
With a temperature-sensitive mutant of the CDC23 subunit of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC), cdc23(ts); a temperature-sensitive mutant of cdc20; and a cdh1-null mutant, we show that the diminution of Pds1p and Clb2p brought on by Tax is mediated via the Cdc20p-associated anaphase-promoting complex, APC(Cdc20p). Paper-9796384.
On hyphal induction, the accumulation of the G1 cyclin Cln1p was prolonged, whereas the accumulation of both Clb proteins was delayed when compared with yeast form cells, indicating that CLB2 and CLB4 are differentially regulated in the two morphologies and that the dynamics of cyclin appearance differs between yeast and hyphal forms of growth. Paper-11096433.
