Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1) complexed with cyclin B phosphorylates multiple sites on hundreds of proteins during mitosis. However, it is not fully understood how multi-site mitotic phosphorylation by cyclin B-Cdk1 controls the structures and functions of individual substrates. Here we develop an easy-to-use protocol to express recombinant vertebrate cyclin B and Cdk1 in insect cells from a single baculovirus vector and to purify their complexes with excellent homogeneity. A series of in-vitro assays demonstrate that the recombinant cyclin B-Cdk1 can efficiently and specifically phosphorylate the SP and TP motifs in substrates. The addition of Suc1 (a Cks1 homolog in fission yeast) accelerates multi-site phosphorylation of an artificial substrate containing TP motifs. Importantly, we show that mitosis-specific multi-subunit and multi-site phosphorylation of the condensin I complex can be recapitulated in vitro using recombinant cyclin B-Cdk1-Suc1. The materials and protocols described here will pave the way for dissecting the biochemical basis of critical mitotic processes that accompany Cdk1-mediated large-scale phosphorylation.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
