The cell cycle is a highly coordinated process governed by cyclin-bound cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). While the interaction between cyclin and CDK are well-documented, the dissociation constants (Kd) between specific cyclin-CDK pairs within living cells remain poorly understood. Fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy (FCCS) enables the quantification of the Kd, but challenges remain in selecting an optimal pair of fluorescent molecules for FCCS in a living cell. In this study, we demonstrate that mNeonGreen and phycocyanobilin-bound miRFP670 represent a suitable pair for FCCS in living cells from the viewpoint of high photostability and low bleed-through. This fluorescent protein pair enables us to measure the Kd values of the cyclin-dependent kinase Cdc2 and B-type cyclin Cdc13 in fission yeast cells. Moreover, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the Kd values for 36 cyclin-CDK complexes, formed by 9 distinct cyclins and 4 CDKs, in mammalian cells, including unconventional cyclin-CDK pairs. These findings provide insights into the redundancy of cyclin-CDK binding in cell cycle progression, with potential implications for understanding cell cycle regulation in both fission yeast and higher eukaryotes.

"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.
