Cyclin‐dependent kinase	Binding partner	Roles in cell cycle	Roles in transcription	Selected additional roles
Cdc2	Cdc13, Cig1, Cig2, Puc1, Pas1, Pch1, Rem1	Governs cell cycle commitment at START in G1; orchestrates mitosis and determines its timing (Beach et al., 1982; Coudreuse & Nurse, 2010; Fisher & Nurse, 1996; Gutiérrez‐Escribano & Nurse, 2015; Martín‐Castellanos et al., 1996, 2000; Nurse, 1975; Nurse & Bissett, 1981; Reymond et al., 1993)	Required for Cdc10/Sct1 transcription complex formation (Connolly et al., 1997) Inhibits Ste11 (Kjærulff et al., 2007)
