Central plaque component of spindle pole body (SPB); involved in SPB duplication, may facilitate attachment of the SPB to the nuclear membrane; Belongs to the SPC42 family.

Monopolar spindle protein 2; Essential membrane protein localized at nuclear envelope and SPBs; required for insertion of the newly duplicated spindle pole body into the nuclear envelope; potentially phosphorylated by Cdc28p; MPS2 has a paralog, CSM4, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Protein required for the spindle pole body (SPB) duplication; localizes at the cytoplasmic side of the central plaque periphery of the SPB; forms a complex with a nuclear envelope protein Mps2p and SPB components Spc29p and Kar1p; required for mitotic functions of Cdc5p; Belongs to the BBP1 family.

Spindle pole body assembly component MPS3; Nuclear envelope protein; required for SPB insertion, SPB duplication, Kar5p localization near the SPB and nuclear fusion; interacts with Mps2p to tether half-bridge to core SPB; N-terminal acetylation by Eco1p regulates its role in nuclear organization; localizes to the SPB half bridge and telomeres during meiosis; required with Ndj1p and Csm4p for meiotic bouquet formation and telomere-led rapid prophase movement; member of the SUN protein family (Sad1-UNC-84 homology).

Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) catalytic subunit; master regulator of mitotic and meiotic cell cycles; alternately associates with G1, S, G2/M phase cyclins, which provide substrate specificity; regulates metabolism, basal transcription, chromosome dynamics, growth and morphogenesis; transcript induction in osmostress involves antisense RNA; human homologs CDK1, CDK2, CDK3 can complement yeast conditional cdc28 mutants; human CDK1, CDK2 can complement yeast cdc28 null mutant.

Protein SFI1; Centrin (Cdc31p)-binding protein required for SPB duplication; localizes to the half-bridge of the spindle pole body (SPB); required for progression through G(2)-M transition; phosphorylated by Cdc28p-Clb2p and by Cdc5p; dephosphorylated by Cdc14p; has similarity to Xenopus laevis XCAP-C; Belongs to the SFI1 family.

Spindle pole component SPC72; Gamma-tubulin small complex (gamma-TuSC) receptor; recruits the gamma-TuSC complex to the cytoplasmic side of the SPB, connecting nuclear microtubules to the SPB; involved in astral microtubule formation, stabilization, and with Stu2p, anchoring astral MTs at the cytoplasmic face of the SPB, and regulating plus-end MT dynamics; regulated by Cdc5 kinase.

Cell division control protein 31; Calcium-binding component of the spindle pole body (SPB) half-bridge; required for SPB duplication in mitosis and meiosis II; homolog of mammalian centrin; binds multiubiquitinated proteins and is involved in proteasomal protein degradation.

Kinetochore protein SPC24; 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.
