In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a prospective mother normally commences the formation of a daughter (the bud) only in the G(1) phase of the cell division cycle. This suggests a strict temporal regulation of the processes that initiate the formation of a new bud. Using cortical localization of bud site components Spa2 and Bni1 as an indicator of bud site assembly, we show that cells assemble a bud site following inactivation of the Cdc28-Clb mitotic kinase but prior to START. Interestingly, an untimely inactivation of the mitotic kinase is sufficient to drive cells to assemble a new bud site inappropriately in G(2) or M phases. The induction of Cdc28/Clb kinase activity in G(1), on the other hand, dramatically reduces a cell's ability to construct an incipient bud site. Our findings strongly suggest that the Cdc28-Clb kinase plays a critical role in the mechanism that restricts the timing of bud formation to the G(1) phase of the cell cycle.
