Clb2 N124aa
Over the four mitotic cyclins, cyclin b2 has the most important role in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is sufficient to trigger all essential functions of cyclin-dependent kinases in mitosis by itself. Research shows that a Clb2 KEN box can only degrade targeted fusion protein with the help of the first 124 amino acids of Clb2. So during MA and G1, a sequence of Clb2 124aa containing the KEN box and the destruction box act together to regulate proteolysis of Clb2 fusion protein.[1]
Biology and Usage
Clb2 N124aa is a sequence of the first 124 amino acids of Cyclin B2, derive from the geome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4741, of which the function is to help the degradation of Clb2 fusion proten effectively during MA and G1 phase. This part can be used when you need to degrade your infusion protein with cyclin b2 coupled to cell circle, especially between MA and G1 phase.

Expenrimental approach
1、Clb2 N124aa was PCRed down from the brewer's yeast genome using specific primers.
2、The double enzyme-cut pYES2 plasmid backbone (containing Gal1 promoter), Clb2 N124aa, and GFP fragments were cloned into the target plasmid in the order of pYES2 plasmid backbone (containing Gal1 promoter)-Clb2 N124aa-GFP fragment by infusion cloning relying on the homology arm. (Experimental group of target plasmids) The target plasmid was cloned in the order of pYES2 plasmid backbone (containing Gal1 promoter) and GFP fragment after double enzymatic cutting by infusion cloning relying on the homology arm. (Control target plasmid)
3、Both plasmids were transformed into E. coli DH5α-sensing state cells, respectively.
4、The transformed E. coli were incubated in 20 mL of YPD-amphenicol (100 mg/ml) in an incubator at 37°C, 180 rpm for 12 hours.
5、The experimental group aspirated 1 ml of bacterial solution coated into YPD-amphenicillin (100 mg/ml) medium and incubated at 37°C for 12 h in the incubator.
6、Search for single colonies in YPD-amphenicol (100 mg/l) medium for colony PCR to verify the successful transfer of the target plasmids.
7、Select the single colony successfully transformed into sensory winery cells and incubate in SD-ura medium at a constant temperature of 30°C for 14-16h.
8、Single colonies were sought in SD-ura medium for colony PCR to verify successful transfer to the target plasmid.
9、Selected experimental and control groups of single-colony bacterial solution were coated in SD-ura medium and incubated at 37°C for 14-16h in the incubator.
10、When glucose was depleted, galactose was added to the culture medium every 2h to induce the expression of GFP. In the control group, GFP was expressed in the presence of galactose in the environment.
11、Add glucose to the medium to a final concentration of 2% to remove the induction of galactose.
12、Culture samples were removed before (t=0) and at specified times after the addition of glucose, and cells were loaded for fluorescence microscopy.
13、Autofluorescence was determined by quantification of non-expressing GFP by subtracting the mean value of non-expressing GFP cells.
