Inner plaque spindle pole body (SPB) component; ortholog of human kendrin; gamma-tubulin small complex (gamma-TuSC) receptor that interacts with Spc98p to recruit the complex to the nuclear side of the SPB, connecting nuclear microtubules to the SPB; promotes gamma-TuSC assembly and oligomerization to initiate microtubule nucleation; interacts with Tub4p-complex and calmodulin; phosphorylated by Mps1p in cell cycle-dependent manner.

Beta-tubulin; associates with alpha-tubulin (Tub1p and Tub3p) to form tubulin dimer, which polymerizes to form microtubules; mutation in human ortholog is associated with congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM) with polymicrogyria.

Component of the kinetochore-associated Ndc80 complex; conserved coiled-coil protein involved in chromosome segregation, spindle checkpoint activity, and kinetochore assembly and clustering; evolutionarily conserved; complex members include Ndc80p, Nuf2p, Scp24p, and Spc25p; modified by sumoylation.

G2/mitotic-specific cyclin-2; B-type cyclin involved in cell cycle progression; activates Cdc28p to promote the transition from G2 to M phase; accumulates during G2 and M, then targeted via a destruction box motif for ubiquitin-mediated degradation by the proteasome; CLB2 has a paralog, CLB1, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

S-phase entry cyclin-5; B-type cyclin involved in DNA replication during S phase; activates Cdc28p to promote initiation of DNA synthesis; functions in formation of mitotic spindles along with Clb3p and Clb4p; most abundant during late G1 phase; CLB5 has a paralog, CLB6, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Mitosis inhibitor protein kinase SWE1; Protein kinase that regulates the G2/M transition; negative regulator of the Cdc28p kinase; morphogenesis checkpoint kinase; positive regulator of sphingolipid biosynthesis via Orm2p; phosphorylates a tyrosine residue in the N-terminus of Hsp90 in a cell-cycle associated manner, thus modulating the ability of Hsp90 to chaperone a selected clientele; localizes to the nucleus and to the daughter side of the mother-bud neck; homolog of S. pombe Wee1p; potential Cdc28p substrate.

Tubulin alpha-1 chain; Alpha-tubulin; associates with beta-tubulin (Tub2p) to form tubulin dimer, which polymerizes to form microtubules; relative distribution to nuclear foci increases upon DNA replication stress; TUB1 has a paralog, TUB3, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Nuclear fusion protein BIK1; Microtubule-associated protein; component of the interface between microtubules and kinetochore, involved in sister chromatid separation; essential in polyploid cells but not in haploid or diploid cells; ortholog of mammalian CLIP-170.

Kinetochore protein NUF2; Component of the kinetochore-associated Ndc80 complex; involved in chromosome segregation, spindle checkpoint activity, and kinetochore clustering; evolutionarily conserved; other members include Ndc80p, Nuf2p, Spc24p, and Spc25p.
