unexpectedly, Cln3 is not the answer...

Cell growth dilutes a cell cycle inhibitor, Whi5, while the cell cycle activator, Cln3, remains at constant concentration. When Whi5 is diluted below a critical concentration, cells enter the division cycle. Dilution of a cell cycle inhibitor is a new concept in cell biology and an elegant solution to the problem of coupling growth to division.
