Abstract excerpt
Commitment to mitosis is regulated by a protein kinase complex called MPF. MPF is inhibited by Wee1-related kinases and activated by Cdc25 phosphatase. MPF activation further boosts Cdc25 and represses Wee1. This feedback control probably involves polo kinase. A dominant cut12.s11 mutation in the Schizosaccharomyces pombe spindle pole body (SPB) component Cut12 both suppresses the conditional lethal mitotic...
