Mr. Fowler et al., Characterization of a Mak subgroup Cdc2-like protein kinase from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), J EXP BOT, 51(353), 2000, pp. 2119-2124
The Mak-type Cdc2-like protein kinases are, a relatively uncharacterized gr
oup of proteins. Bvcrk2 encodes a plant Mak-type kinase, Its highest levels
of expression occur in the secondary meristems of developing sugar beet st
orage organs, suggesting a role, in planta, in the regulation of cell divis
ion or early cell differentiation.
