Stephen J. Elledge (Baylor College of Medicine, Houston): "Critical transitions in the eukaryotic cell cycle are controlled by the activity and substrate specificity of a protein kinase, p34cdc2, and its associated regulatory subunits, cyclins. In yeasts, this kinase is encoded by a single gene and is capable of regulating entry into two very different cellular states: S-phase (DNA synthesis) and M-phase (mitosis). Prior to this work, it was thought that human cells also possessed only a single CDC2-like gene, ...
