Abstract
The highly conserved Cdc2 serine/threonine kinase plays a central role in cell cycle progression. Although Cdc2 levels remain constant throughout the cell cycle, Cdc2 kinase activity peaks at the G2/M boundary, in order to drive entry into mitosis. In the model organism Schizosaccharotnysces pombe, potentially active Cdc2/Cdc13 kinase complex accumulates throughout the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle. This complex, however, is maintained in an inactive state by Weel/Mik1-mediated phosphorylation at Y15 (and, possibly, T14). At the G2/M boundary, the Cdc25 protein phosphatase is activated to dephosphorylate the Cdc2/Cdcl3 complex, resulting in abrupt activation of Cdc2 kinase activity and entry into mitosis.
