in a complex of 105 kDa. These results indicate that R2 is closely related to CAKs ofanimals and fission yeast in terms of its phosphorylation activity.Plant cyclins are classified into either mitotic cyclins (A- and B-type) or D-typecyclins (Mironov et al 1999, Renaudin et al 1996). Figure 2 shows the systematic classificationof plant cyclin genes. We isolated a third class of cyclins from poplar and riceplants (Yamaguchi et al 2000). Their deduced amino acid sequences had high similarityto that of vertebrate cyclin H, especially in the cyclin box region. Poplar and rice cyclinH were expressed in all tissues although their transcripts were abundant in suspensioncells and tissues with cell division activity. Moreover, transcripts of Os;cycH;1 weremost abundant in the meristematic region of the growing rice internode, but were alsofound at lower levels in elongating and differentiated cells in deepwater rice. This is incontrast to mitotic cyclin genes whose expression is restricted to dividing cells (Umedaet al 1999a). In the growing internode, Os;cycH;1 transcripts clearly increased at 6 hafter submergence and then moderately decreased. Lorbiecke and Sauter (1998) demonstratedthat, at 4 h after submergence, more cells in the meristem began to replicateOs;CycA1;2 (Oryza sativa)Bn;CycA1 (Brassica napus)Nt;CycA1;1 (Nicotiana tabacum)Gm;CycA1 (Glycine max)Os;CycA1;1 (Oryza sativa)Zm;CycA1;2 (Zea mays)Gm;CycA3 (Glycine max)Nt;CycA3;1 (Nicotiana tabacum)Nt;CycA3;3 (Nicotiana tabacum)Nt;CycA3;2 (Nicotiana tabacum)Ms;CycA2 (Medicago sativa)Nt;CycA2 (Nicotiana tabacum)At;CycA2;1 (Arabidopsis thaliana)At;CycA2;2 (Arabidopsis thaliana)Bn;CycA2 (Brassica napus)Gm;CycA2 (Glycine max)Zm;CycB1;1 (Zea mays)Zm;CycB1;2 (Zea mays)Gm;CycB1;3 (Glycine max)Nt;CycB1;2 (Nicotiana tabacum)Gm;CycB1;1 (Glycine max)Pc;CycB1 (Petroselinum crispum)Nt;CycB1;1 (Nicotiana tabacum)Am;CycB1;1 (Antirrhinum majus)Am;CycB1;2 (Antirrhinum majus)At;CycB1;1 (Arabidopsis thaliana)At;CycB1;2 (Arabidopsis thaliana)Os;CycB2;2 (Oryza sativa)Os;CycB2;1 (Oryza sativa)Zm;CycB2 (Zea mays)Ms;CycB2;1 (Medicago sativa)Ms;CycB2;2 (Medicago sativa)At;CycB2;1 (Arabidopsis thaliana)At;CycB2;2 (Arabidopsis thaliana)Fig. 2.
