Function of the ER:

most eukaryotic cells is to sequester Ca2+ from the cytosol (High concentration of Ca2+-binding proteins in the ER facilitates Ca2+ storage)

The G1 cyclin-CDK complex (Cln3-CDK in yeast) stimulates the formation of G1/S phase cyclin-CDKs, which initiate bud formation, centrosome duplication, and DNA replication.

Once sufficient Cln3 is synthesized from its mRNA, Cln3-CDK complexes phosphorylate and inactivate the transcriptional repressor Whi5.

Phosphorylation of Whi5 promotes its export out of the nucleus, allowing the transcription factor complex SBF to induce transcription of the G1/S phase cyclin genes CLN1 and CLN2.
