The p34cdc2 protein kinase is a key component of the eukaryotic cell cycle,
which is required for G1 to S-phase transition and for entry into mitosis.
Using a 380-base pair DNA fragment obtained by polymerase chain reaction
amplification from an Arabidopsis thaliana flower cDNA library as a probe,
we isolated and sequenced a cdc2-homologous cDNA from Arabidopsis. The
encoded polypeptide has extensive homology with cdc2-like kinases.
Furthermore, when expressed in a CDC28ts Saccharomyces strain, it partially
restores the capacity to grow at 36[deg]C, indicating that the plant cDNA
is a functional homolog of the p34cdc2 kinase. Genomic hybridization
demonstrated that there is one copy of the cdc2 gene per Arabidopsis
haploid genome. Using RNA gel blot analysis, we found that cdc2 mRNA is
present in all plant organs.
