We have isolated two Drosophila cDNA clones that rescue Saccharomyces cerevisiae deficient in CLN functions. One of these clones is the Drosophila homolog of the cdc2 gene. The second encodes a distant and new member of the cyclin family of proteins, cyclin C. It is highly homologous (72% identity) to a human clone isolated in a similar screen. Yeast cells rescued by a plasmid constitutively expressing this Drosophila cyclin C are unusually small, consistent with an unregulated high level of G1 ...[more]
