The cell cycle of budding yeast is governed by an intricate protein regulatory network whose dysregulation can lead to lethal mistakes or aberrant cell division cycles. In this work, we model this network in a Boolean framework for stochastic simulations. Our model is sufficiently detailed to account for the phenotypes of 41 mutant yeast strains (85% of the experimentally characterized strains that we simulated) and also to simulate an endoreplicating strain (multiple rounds of DNA synthesis without mitosis) and a strain that exhibits Cdc14 endocycles (periodic transitions between metaphase and anaphase). Because our model successfully replicates the observed properties of both wild-type yeast cells and many mutant strains, it provides a reasonable, validated starting point for more comprehensive stochastic-Boolean models of cell cycle controls. Such models may provide a better understanding of cell cycle anomalies in budding yeast and ultimately in mammalian cells.
