Abstract excerpt
Pho85 cyclins (Pcls), activators of the yeast cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) Pho85, belong together with the p35 activator of mammalian CDK5 to a distinct structural cyclin class. Different Pcls target Pho85 to distinct substrates. Pcl5 targets Pho85 specifically to Gcn4, a yeast transcription factor involved in the response to amino acid starvation, eventually causing the degradation of Gcn4. Pcl5 is itself...
