Preparation and Storage

Background: Cyclin B1

Cyclin B1 (also CCNB1 and G2/mitotic-specific cyclin-B1) is a member of the cyclin AB subfamily, cyclin family of proteins. Although its predicted MW is 50 kDa, it runs anomalously at 62 kDa in SDS-PAGE. Cyclin B1 associates with both CDK1 and 2 providing substrate specificity to a phosphorylating complex. A phosphor‑CDK1:Cyclin B1 complex is inactive and cytosolic during interphase. At the beginning of mitosis, CDK1 is dephosphorylated and activated, and the CDK1:Cyclin B1 complex initiates formation of the mitotic scaffold. Human Cyclin B1 is 433 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains two cyclin box folds (aa 201‑290 and 298‑383) and two substrate binding sites (aa 298‑342 and 343‑380). Phosphorylation occurs at Ser9, Ser35, Ser69, and Thr321. There is one potential alternative start site at Met252 and deletions of aa 363‑399 and 365‑433. Over aa 1‑91, human Cyclin B1 shares 63% aa identity with mouse Cyclin B1.
