Abstract excerpt
A large number of dominant mutants have been generated in the fission yeast cdc2 gene, causing lethality when expressed in wild-type cells. The mutants interfere with distinct aspects of p34cdc2 function, producing one of four different phenotypes: mitotic arrest, multiple rounds of S phase in the absence of mitosis, premature mitosis or G2 arrest. The mitotic mutants DL41, DL45 and DL50 are characterized in this...
