Abstract excerpt
In fission yeast the Wee1 kinase and the functionally redundant Mik1 kinase provide a regulatory mechanism to ensure that mitosis is initiated only after the completion of DNA synthesis. Yeast in which both Wee1 and Mik1 kinases are defective exhibit a mitotic catastrophe phenotype, presumably due to premature entry into mitosis. Because of the functional conservation of cell cycle control elements, the...
