Abstract
Genetic studies of the fission yeast cell cycle have identified the cdc2 gene as a critical regulator of M phase (Nurse and Thuriaux, 1980). The gene encodes a protein kinase (Simanis and Nurse, 1986) that is homologous to the product of the CDC28 cell cycle "start" gene of budding yeast (Beach et al., 1982). More recently it has become apparent that all eukaryotes including man have a similar protein kinase (Draetta et al., 1987; Lee and Nurse, 1987). Recent evidence suggests that the Xenopus homolog of the cdc2 product is a component of maturation promoting factor (MPF; Dunphy et al., 1988; Gautier et al., 1988), an activity that is capable of driving interphase nuclei into a mitotic state both in vivo and in vitro and that oscillates during the mitotic cell cycle (Gerhart et al., 1984; Newport and Kirschner, 1984).
