Abstract excerpt
We report the cloning of the skp1+ gene, a Schizosaccharomyces pombe homolog of the glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) family whose members in higher eukaryotes are involved in cell fate determination, nuclear signalling, and hormonal regulation. skp1 is 67% identical to mammalian GSK-3 beta and displays similar biochemical properties in vitro. Like GSK-3 beta, skp1 is phosphorylated on a conserved tyrosine...
