The maize retinoblastoma protein homologue ZmRb-1 is regulated during leaf development and displays conserved interactions with G1/S regulators and plant cyclin D (CycD) proteins. Plant Mol Biol. 37:1998;155-169. This paper demonstrates that maize Rb protein (ZmRb) abundance is correlated with the state of leaf cell differentiation and that ZmRb interacts in vitro with Arabidopsis CycD cyclins. These interactions depend on the conserved LxCxE amino-terminal motif that is also needed for human D-cyclin interaction with Rb.

The first report and analysis of a CAK from Arabidopsis, which is not related to the CAK gene of rice (OsR2). Very interestingly, this Arabidopsis CAK does not phosphorylate the CTD of RNA polymerase II, but can activate human CDK2; moreover, Arabidopsis CAK is shown to complement CAK mutants in both budding and fission yeast.

Plant J. 16:1998;613-619. The OsR2 gene encodes an active CAK that is unrelated to Arabidopsis CAK but similar to the CDK7 subunit of human CAK. Evidence is presented that this protein can phosphorylate both human CDK2 and a rice cdc2a (CDK-a).

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 96:1999;4180-4185. This paper represents the first evidence that phosphorylation of CDKs by wee1 kinases is conserved in plants, and provides important evidence for regulatory phosphorylation of plant CDKs. It reinforces the likely significance of cdc25 phosphatases in reversing the inhibitory phosphorylation by wee1 kinases, and allowing cell cycle progression [16,17].

Plant Physiol. 119:1999;343-351. Cyclin CycD genes are analysed for the first time in the highly synchonisable BY-2 cell system, and two of the genes examined show highest mRNA levels during mitosis. It is unclear whether this is specific to this cell culture or is a general feature not yet revealed in other plant systems. More in keeping with other results is the finding that the genes are switched off in stationary phase cells and are reactivated during cell cycle entry.

Plant J. 18:1999;243-252. The first analysis of a dicot Rb protein, and the first biochemical indication that cyclin CycD proteins interact with PSTAIRE (cdc2a, CDK-a) CDKs in vivo. The kinase CycD-cdc2a assembled in insect cells is shown to direct phosphorylation of Rb proteins in vitro. Note that no laboratory has yet demonstrated phosphorylation of Rb using kinase immunoprecipitated from plant cells.

Planta. 208:1999;453-462. The discovery of a new class of D-type cyclin gene (CycD4) that is related to the CycD2 gene of Arabidopsis and is shown to have a very interesting transitory expression pattern during the development of lateral roots. Like CycD2, this gene is induced when sucrose is re-supplied to starved cells, this induction is concomitant with the increase in mRNA of its potential kinase partner cdc2aAt (CDK-a).

Detailed functional and mutational analysis of elements conferring M phase specific gene expression is presented, and shown to involve Myb-protein binding sites. Interestingly these sites are not conserved in M phase regulated genes in animals.

Cell cycle dependent proteolysis in plants: identification of the destruction box pathway and metaphase arrest produced by the proteasome inhibitor MG132. Plant Cell. 10:1998;2063-2075. Fusions between marker proteins and CycA and CycB cyclins are shown to be subject to cell-cycle-regulated destruction and key residues in the destruction box are found to be necessary for this. Additionally, the proteasome inhibitor MG132 is found to be a useful reagent to analyse cyclin proteolysis and to reversibly block mitosis.

Expression of cks1At in Arabidopsis thaliana indicates a role for the protein in both the mitotic and the endoreduplication cycle. Planta. 207:1999;496-504. A detailed analysis by in situ hybridisation of Arabidopsis shoot apices shows that the cell cycle genes cdc2aAt, cdc2bAt and cyclin CycB1;1 are expressed in mitotic cells, whereas the gene encoding the Suc1 homologue cks1At was present in both mitotic and endoreduplicating cells. This paper raises the interesting question of which CDK is regulating endoreduplication.

The first detailed analysis of a CKI (CDK inhibitor protein) in plants, which is shown to bind both to the CDK (cdc2a) and to the cyclin CycD3 raising the interesting possibility of dual modes of action in inhibiting both assembly and activity of the CDK complex. Interestingly, ICK1 is shown to be induced in the presence of abscisic acid, suggesting that it may be involved in cell cycle arrest in response to this hormone.
