The group's work also focuses on the study of spatial regulatory mechanisms in cell cycle control, mechanisms that involve the control of the sub-cellular localisation of key proteins for progression in the cycle. In particular, the role of karyopherin Msn5 in the control of transcription factors (Swi6, Swi4, Mbp1, Swi1, Whi5) as well as Start cyclins (Cln1, Cln2) has been studied. Furthermore, determinants of cyclin functional specificity and the identification of new mechanisms controlling cyclin synthesis and degradation (Cln2, Clb2) are investigated.
