BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-GENE STRUCTURE AND EXPRESSION
In the present paper, the isolation of a third cyclin-dependent kinase gene
and its cognate cDNA from Arabidopsis thaliana is described. Whereas other
characterised cdc2 genes are ubiquitously expressed in Arabidopsis, expres
sion of cdc2cAt is restricted to flowers. This gene, named cdc2cAt, differs
from the two previously reported cdc2 genes in its organisation. Compariso
n with other cdc2 genes suggests that the deduced protein belongs to a new
family of CDC2-like proteins related to the human CHED protein kinase. (C)
