Abstract excerpt
Pcl5 is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae cyclin that directs the phosphorylation of the general amino acid control transcriptional activator Gcn4 by the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) Pho85. Phosphorylation of Gcn4 by Pho85/Pcl5 initiates its degradation via the ubiquitin/proteasome system and is regulated by the availability of amino acids. In this study, we show that Pcl5 is a nuclear protein and that artificial...
