Tyrosine-protein phosphatase CDC14; Protein phosphatase required for mitotic exit; required for rDNA segregation, cytokinesis, meiosis I spindle disassembly, environmental stress response; held in nucleolus by Cdc55p in early meiosis, liberated by FEAR and Mitotic Exit Network in anaphase, enabling it to effect a decrease in CDK/B-cyclin activity and mitotic exit; sequestered in metaphase II, released upon entry into anaphase II; human homolog CDC14A can complement thermosensitivity of yeast cdc14-1 mutant.

GTP-binding protein of the Ras superfamily; involved in termination of M-phase; controls actomyosin and septin dynamics during cytokinesis.

Cell cycle protein kinase DBF2; Ser/Thr kinase involved in transcription and stress response; functions as part of a network of genes in exit from mitosis; localization is cell cycle regulated; activated by Cdc15p during the exit from mitosis; also plays a role in regulating the stability of SWI5 and CLB2 mRNAs; phosphorylates Chs2p to regulate primary septum formation and Hof1p to regulate cytokinesis; DBF2 has a paralog, DBF20, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Cell division control protein 15; Protein kinase of the Mitotic Exit Network; localized to the spindle pole bodies at late anaphase; promotes mitotic exit by directly switching on the kinase activity of Dbf2p; required for spindle disassembly after meiosis II; relocalizes to the cytoplasm upon DNA replication stress.

Guanine nucleotide exchange factor LTE1; Protein similar to GDP/GTP exchange factors; without detectable GEF activity; required for asymmetric localization of Bfa1p at daughter-directed spindle pole bodies and for mitotic exit at low temperatures.

Sporulation-specific protein 12; Nucleolar protein of unknown function; positive regulator of mitotic exit; involved in regulating release of Cdc14p from the nucleolus in early anaphase, may play similar role in meiosis; SPO12 has a paralog, BNS1, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Cytokinesis protein 2; Protein that regulates actin cytoskeleton organization; required for cytokinesis, actin cable organization, and secretory vesicle trafficking; localized to bud neck; phosphorylated by Dbf2p; regulates actomyosin ring dynamics and septin localization; contains an SH3 domain; N terminus controls cell size and levels of actin cables, while C terminus controls actin cable organization via direct regulation of the formin Bnr1p.

Ingression protein 1; Essential protein that associates with contractile actomyosin ring; required for ingression of the plasma membrane into the bud neck during cytokinesis; C2 domain, a membrane targeting module, is required for function; activates chitin synthase activity of Chs2p during cytokinesis.

Activator of Cbk1p kinase; component of the RAM signaling network that regulates cellular polarity and morphogenesis; activation of Cbk1p facilitates the Ace2p-dependent daughter cell-specific transcription of genes involved in cell separation; similar to Mob1p.
