Abstract excerpt
A fundamental yet essentially unexplored question in stem cell biology is whether the stem cell cycle has specific features. Three B-cyclins in Drosophila, Cyclins (Cyc) A, B, and B3, associate with CDK1 and play partially redundant roles in embryogenic mitosis . Here, we show that the division of Drosophila GSCs and their precursors, the primordial germ cells (PGCs), specifically requires CycB. CycB is...
