Abstract
While a large number of cyclins have been described in animals and yeasts, very limited information is available regarding cyclins in plants. We describe here the isolation of cDNA clones encoding four putative mitotic cyclins from maize. All four cyclins were able to induce maturation of Xenopus oocytes, demonstrating that they can act as mitotic cyclins in this system. Northern analysis showed that all four cyclins were expressed only in actively dividing tissues and organs, with a stronger correlation between expression and mitotic activity than is observed with cdc2. The deduced protein sequences suggest that the four maize cyclins belong to the cyclin A and B families identified from animal and yeast studies but that they cannot be described easily as either A-type or B-type cyclins. However, comparison with previously cloned plant cyclins shows that cyclins in higher plants form three distinct structural groups that have been conserved in both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous species and that cyclins from all three groups are present within a single plant species.
