CYCLINS, as subunits of the protein kinase encoded by thecdc2gene are major controlling elements of the eukaryotic cell cycle1–3. The fission yeastSchizosaccharomyces pombehas a B-type cyclin, which is a nuclear protein7,8encoded by thecdc13gene4–6. Here we demonstrate the presence of two spatially distinct cdc13 cyclin populations in the nucleus ofS. pombe, one of which is associated with the mitotic spindle poles. Both populations colocalize with the product of thecdc2gene (p34cdc2). Treatment of cells with the antimicrotubule drug thiabendazole prevents cyclin degradation and blocks the tyrosine dephosphorylation and activation of cdc2. These results suggest a key regulatory role of the cdc2-cyclin complex in the initiation of mitotic spindle formation and also that mitotic microtubule function is required for cdc2 activation.
