Description:
Induction of the yeast gene PHO5 is mediated by the transcription factors PHO2 and PHO4. PHO5 transcription is not detectable in high phosphate; it is thought that the negative regulators PHO80 and PHO85 inactivate PHO2 and PHO4. Here it is reported that PHO80 has homology to yeast cyclins and interacts with PHO85, a p34cdc2/CDC28-related protein kinase. The PHO80-PHO85 complex phosphorylates PHO4; this phosphorylation is correlated with negative regulation of PHO5. These results demonstrate the existence of a cyclin-cdk complex that is used for a regulatory process other than cell-cycle control and identify a physiologically relevant substrate for this complex.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kaffman, A -- Herskowitz, I -- Tjian, R -- O'Shea, E K -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Feb 25;263(5150):1153-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉School of Medicine, Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, University of California at San Francisco 94143.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8108735" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
