Tome-1, a novel cell-cycle gene required for mitotic entry

Summary This invention, out of Marc Kirschner's research group, concerns the discovery of a novel protein required for mititic entry. Harvard researchers have isolated and identified the protein and the gene encoding the protein. Further work has shown Tome-1's key role in the activation of cdk1/Cyclin B, in turn required for mitotic entry.
