TL;DR
At least four different classes of cell cycle regulated gene exist in yeast: G1 cyclins and DNA synthesis genes are expressed in late G1; histone genes in S phase; genes for transcription factors, cell cycle regulators and replication initiation proteins in G2; and genes needed for cell separation as cells enter G1.
Abstract
At least four different classes of cell cycle regulated gene exist in yeast: G1 cyclins and DNA synthesis genes are expressed in late G1; histone genes in S phase; genes for transcription factors, cell cycle regulators and replication initiation proteins in G2; and genes needed for cell separation as cells enter G1. Early and late G1-specific transcription is mediated by the Swi5/Ace2 and Swi4/Swi6 classes of factor, respectively. Changes in cyclin/Cdc28 kinases may be involved in all classes of regulation. Transcriptional control of cyclin genes has an important role in regulating cell cycle progression.

99 Citations1987Kim Nasmyth, Angela Seddon +1 more
It is shown thatSWI5 RNAs are cell-cycle regulated so that they are only produced after the post-START window of HO transcription, vital for mother-cell specificity since constitutive transcription of SWI5 causes daughter cells to switch their mating types.
Current Opinion in Genetics & DevelopmentRegulating the HO endonuclease in yeast
98 Citations1993Kim Nasmyth
The pedigree of mating-type switching in yeast is determined by the transcription pattern of the HO endonuclease gene, which is expressed during late G1 in mother cells but not at all in daughter cells, and mother-cell specificity involves a second site-specific DNA-binding factor, Swi5.

It is speculated that MCM1 coordinates decisions about cell cycle progression with changes in cell wall integrity and metabolic activity, and the presence in the library of three genes involved incell cycle progression reinforces the idea that one of the functions of MCM 1 is indeed analogous to that of the mammalian serum response factor.

65 Citations1993Graham Tebb, Thomas Moll +2 more
It is proposed that a small fraction of the SWI5 protein inherited by mother cells is extremely stable and that the crucial difference between mothers and daughters with regard to HO transcription is their differential ability to sequesterSWI5 in a stable form, possibly as a component of transcription complexes on the HO promoter.

It is shown that cells released from cdc28ts arrest in the presence of cycloheximide show wild-type levels of induction for HO, CLN1, and CDC9 (DNA ligase), suggesting that the activity of trans-acting factors that operate through the MluI element may be governed by phosphorylation by the Cdc28 kinase.
The EMBO JournalThe activity of S.pombe DSC‐1‐like factor is cell cycle regulated and dependent on the activity of p34cdc2.

It is demonstrated that p85cdc10 is a nuclear protein and that the activity of the S.pombe DSC‐1 factor varies through the cell cycle; it is high in cells that have passed start, decreases at the time of anaphase, remains low during the pre‐start phase of G1 and increases at the next S phase.
