Isolation and characterization of cDNA clones encoding a functional p34cdc2 homologue from Zea mays.

We describe the isolation of cDNA clones encoding a p34cdc2 homologue from a higher plant, Zea mays (maize). A full-length cDNA clone, cdc2ZmA, was isolated, sequenced, and shown to complement a cdc28 mutation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of the maize p34cdc2 protein with other homologues showed that it was 64% identical to human p34cdc2 and 63% identical to Schizosaccharomyces pombe and S. cerevisiae p34cdc2 proteins. Studies of expression of the maize cdc2 gene(s) by Northern blot analysis indicated a correlation between the abundance of cdc2 mRNA and the proliferative state of the tissue. Southern blot analysis, as well as isolation of another cDNA clone, cdc2ZmB, which is 96% identical to cdc2ZmA, indicates that maize has multiple cdc2 genes.[1]
