Gene Description

Cdc13 (p56cdc13) is the major mitotic B-type cyclin (cyclin AB subfamily) of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. It is the essential regulatory partner of the cyclin-dependent kinase Cdc2 (CDK1); together the Cdc13-Cdc2 complex constitutes M-phase-promoting factor (MPF), the principal driver of mitotic entry and progression. Cdc13 levels rise steadily through G2 and the complex is activated at the G2/M transition (requiring Cdc25 and CAK/Thr167 phosphorylation of Cdc2), then Cdc13 is abruptly destroyed at anaphase by APC/C-mediated, destruction-box-dependent proteolysis, behaving as a classic cyclin. Cdc13 binding also dictates the catalytic properties, substrate selection and subcellular localization of Cdc2: the complex concentrates in the nucleus, is enriched at the spindle pole body (SPB, the centrosome equivalent) in G2 via the cyclin hydrophobic patch and a Polo-kinase-dependent mechanism, and decorates the mitotic spindle and spindle midzone during mitosis. Cdc13-Cdc2 also associates stably with ORC-bound replication origins, enforcing the dependence of S phase on an intervening mitosis and preventing re-replication, and it contributes to the mitotic DNA damage response, chromosome bi-orientation and merotelic-attachment correction. A single Cdc13-Cdc2 complex is sufficient to drive both the mitotic and the meiotic cell cycle; in meiosis the stability of Cdc13 is specifically controlled (stabilized by Mes1 between meiosis I and II to permit MII, then degraded by the Mfr1-activated APC/C at the end of meiosis II to license sporulation). Cdc13 is negatively regulated during G1 by the CDK inhibitor Rum1, which promotes its proteolysis.

GO:0005815 microtubule organizing center
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Phylogenetic (IBA) annotation to the microtubule organizing center. Cdc13-Cdc2 is genuinely enriched at the spindle pole body (the fungal MTOC/centrosome equivalent) in G2 and mitosis, so the term is correct, though the more specific experimentally supported terms (mitotic spindle pole body) are preferred.
Reason: Localization to the SPB/MTOC is well supported experimentally but is a context for the core kinase-regulator function rather than a core function itself; a more specific SPB term is available.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:32084401
the hydrophobic patch targets Cdc13 to the yeast centrosome equivalent, the spindle pole body (SPB)
GO:0000307 cyclin-dependent protein kinase holoenzyme complex
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: Cdc13 is a B-type cyclin that forms a stable complex with the catalytic subunit Cdc2 (CDK1); this complex is the cyclin-dependent protein kinase holoenzyme. The IBA assignment is strongly supported by direct experimental evidence.
Reason: Direct biochemical evidence shows Cdc13 forms a stable kinase-active complex with Cdc2, consistent with the CDK holoenzyme complex.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:2569363
The products of the cdc13+ and cdc2+ genes form a stable complex that displays protein kinase activity in vitro.
GO:0016538 cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase regulator activity
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: Core molecular function. As the mitotic B-type cyclin, Cdc13 binds Cdc2 and regulates both its catalytic activity and localization, the defining function of a cyclin. Strongly supported by both phylogenetic inference and direct experiment.
Reason: The cyclin regulatory function of Cdc13 toward the Cdc2 CDK is the central, well-established function of this gene product.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:2569363
These observations suggest that the cdc13+-encoded cyclin acts to regulate both the catalytic properties and the localization of the protein kinase of which it is a subunit.
GO:0007089 traversing start control point of mitotic cell cycle
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: IBA annotation to passage through Start (G1/S commitment). Cdc13 is the mitotic cyclin whose endogenous role is the G2/M transition; in wild-type cells Start and G1/S are executed by the G1/S cyclins Cig1, Cig2 and Puc1. Although an engineered single Cdc13-Cdc2 complex can drive S phase when it is the only cyclin, this does not reflect the normal Start function of Cdc13 and is best treated as an over-annotation for the endogenous protein.
Reason: The native function of Cdc13 is at G2/M, not at Start; G1/S commitment is normally carried out by other cyclins, so the phylogenetically transferred Start annotation overstates the endogenous role.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:32084401
Although, in wild-type cells, the G1/S cyclins Cig1 and Cig2 are expressed in G1 to execute DNA replication, in this situation, Cdc13 is expressed in G1 and compensates for their loss
GO:0005634 nucleus
IEA
GO_REF:0000044
ACCEPT
Summary: Electronic annotation to nucleus from UniProt subcellular location mapping. Cdc13 is a well-established nuclear protein (with the Cdc2 complex localized to a nuclear domain distinct from chromatin), so this is correct and redundant with multiple experimental nucleus annotations below.
Reason: Nuclear localization is directly demonstrated experimentally.
Supporting Evidence:

Summary: Electronic annotation to spindle pole body from UniProt mapping. Cdc13-Cdc2 is experimentally enriched at the SPB in G2 and mitosis; the mitotic spindle pole body term (GO:0044732) is more specific and also annotated experimentally below.
Reason: SPB localization is directly supported by experimental imaging.
Supporting Evidence:

These observations suggest that the cdc13+-encoded cyclin acts to regulate both the catalytic properties and the localization of the protein kinase of which it is a subunit.
GO:0044772 mitotic cell cycle phase transition
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
MODIFY
Summary: Automated InterPro annotation to mitotic cell cycle phase transition. This is correct but general; Cdc13 specifically drives the G2/M transition, which is captured by the more precise experimental annotations (GO:0010389, GO:0010971).
Reason: The general term is correct but a more specific term reflecting the G2/M role is preferred and is supported experimentally.

Summary: IPI annotation from the Cdc13-Rum1 interaction. Rum1 is the CDK inhibitor that binds the Cdc13-Cdc2 complex and promotes Cdc13 proteolysis during G1. The bare protein binding term is uninformative per curation guidelines; the biology (being subject to regulation by the inhibitor Rum1) is captured by the kinase-regulator function and the G1 proteolysis biology rather than by GO:0005515.
Reason: Bare protein binding is uninformative; the Rum1 interaction is better represented as part of Cdc13 regulation, not as an independent molecular function.

Summary: IMP showing that the Cdc13 hydrophobic patch (and SPB targeting) is required for the onset of mitosis and that hydrophobic-patch mutant cells arrest in G2. This directly supports a positive role in driving the G2/M transition and is a core function.
Reason: Cdc13-Cdc2 is the principal positive driver of the G2/M transition; SPB-targeting mutants fail mitotic entry.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: IMP from the Mfr1/APC study. Persistent high Cdc13-Cdc2 activity delays meiotic exit/sporulation; timely degradation of Cdc13 by the Mfr1-activated APC/C is required to switch off the meiotic cell cycle and license spore formation. Thus Cdc13 activity negatively impacts meiotic exit and its destruction is required for progression. A genuine, evidence-based meiotic regulatory role (non-core).
Reason: Cdc13 levels/activity gate meiotic exit; this is a real meiotic regulatory role but peripheral to the core G2/M kinase-cyclin function.

Core Functions

Acts as the mitotic B-type cyclin regulatory subunit that binds and activates the Cdc2 (CDK1) serine/threonine protein kinase, forming M-phase-promoting factor (MPF) and dictating the catalytic activity, substrate selection and localization of the kinase.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:2569363
    These observations suggest that the cdc13+-encoded cyclin acts to regulate both the catalytic properties and the localization of the protein kinase of which it is a subunit.

Drives the G2/M transition and mitotic progression; Cdc13-Cdc2 accumulates through G2, is activated at mitotic onset, and is required for entry into and completion of mitosis.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:2908246
    required for the control of the G2 to M transition
  • PMID:32084401
    disruption of this motif prevents both centrosomal localization of Cdc13 and the onset of mitosis but does not prevent S phase

Provides the cyclin activity required for the meiotic nuclear divisions; a single Cdc13-Cdc2 complex is sufficient to drive both meiosis I and meiosis II, with its stability specifically controlled between the divisions.

Directly Involved In:
Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:25891897
    Cdc13 is required for meiosis I and II, and is not required for premeiotic S-phase unless this function can be achieved by very low Cdc13 protein levels

Targets the Cdc2 kinase to the spindle pole body (the fungal centrosome equivalent) via the cyclin hydrophobic patch, concentrating CDK activity needed for phosphorylation of SPB/cytoplasmic mitotic substrates and for mitotic entry.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: What is the full repertoire of Cdc13-Cdc2 substrates whose phosphorylation strictly requires SPB-localized (hydrophobic-patch-dependent) cyclin-CDK versus the nuclear pool, and how does this spatial partitioning order mitotic events?

Q: How is Cdc13 stability differentially controlled in the mitotic versus meiotic cycle (APC/C-Slp1 vs Mes1-protected vs Mfr1-activated APC/C), and what determines the precise timing windows?

Q: To what extent does the ORC-dependent association of Cdc13-Cdc2 with replication origins contribute to re-replication control independently of its kinase activity?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Combine analog-sensitive Cdc2 (cdc2as) with rapid Cdc13 degradation and quantitative phosphoproteomics across synchronized mitosis and meiosis to map cyclin-pool-specific substrate phosphorylation and define the boundary between core mitotic-entry substrates and downstream targets (bi-orientation, midzone, DDR).

Experiment: Use endogenously tagged Cdc13 with live-cell super-resolution imaging plus degron-controlled removal of SPB, ORC and telomere-bouquet factors to dissect the sequence and dependencies of Cdc13 localization (nucleus, SPB, replication origins, spindle, midzone) in mitosis and meiosis.

Experiment: Reconstitute APC/C-dependent Cdc13 destruction in vitro with Slp1, Mes1 and Mfr1 to quantify how these regulators set Cdc13 levels at the meiosis I/II boundary and at meiotic exit, correlating with MPF activity and sporulation timing.

description: >-
  Cdc13 (p56cdc13) is the major mitotic B-type cyclin (cyclin AB subfamily) of the
  fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. It is the essential regulatory partner of
  the cyclin-dependent kinase Cdc2 (CDK1); together the Cdc13-Cdc2 complex constitutes
  M-phase-promoting factor (MPF), the principal driver of mitotic entry and progression.
  Cdc13 levels rise steadily through G2 and the complex is activated at the G2/M transition
  (requiring Cdc25 and CAK/Thr167 phosphorylation of Cdc2), then Cdc13 is abruptly
  destroyed at anaphase by APC/C-mediated, destruction-box-dependent proteolysis, behaving
  as a classic cyclin. Cdc13 binding also dictates the catalytic properties, substrate
  selection and subcellular localization of Cdc2: the complex concentrates in the nucleus,
  is enriched at the spindle pole body (SPB, the centrosome equivalent) in G2 via the
  cyclin hydrophobic patch and a Polo-kinase-dependent mechanism, and decorates the
  mitotic spindle and spindle midzone during mitosis. Cdc13-Cdc2 also associates stably
  with ORC-bound replication origins, enforcing the dependence of S phase on an intervening
  mitosis and preventing re-replication, and it contributes to the mitotic DNA damage
  response, chromosome bi-orientation and merotelic-attachment correction. A single
  Cdc13-Cdc2 complex is sufficient to drive both the mitotic and the meiotic cell cycle;
  in meiosis the stability of Cdc13 is specifically controlled (stabilized by Mes1 between
  meiosis I and II to permit MII, then degraded by the Mfr1-activated APC/C at the end of
  meiosis II to license sporulation). Cdc13 is negatively regulated during G1 by the CDK
  inhibitor Rum1, which promotes its proteolysis.

  title: The Hydrophobic Patch Directs Cyclin B to Centrosomes to Promote Global CDK Phosphorylation at Mitosis.
  findings:
  - statement: >-
      The Cdc13 hydrophobic patch targets the cyclin to the SPB; this localization is
      required for mitotic entry and for full phosphorylation of SPB/cytoplasmic mitotic
      CDK substrates, but not for S phase.

      the hydrophobic patch targets Cdc13 to the yeast centrosome equivalent, the spindle
      pole body (SPB), and disruption of this motif prevents both centrosomal localization
      of Cdc13 and the onset of mitosis but does not prevent S phase
