Conserved and novel regulators of the plant cell cycle

Current Opinion in Cell Biology
J H Doonan, P R Fobert

Abstract

Cell division is highly regulated, both spatially and temporally, during plant development. Recent evidence implicates cyclin-dependent kinases (cdks) and their associated proteins as the principal temporal regulators of cell division. It is now known that plants contain an extended family of cdks, some of which appear to be unique to this group. Positive rate-limiting regulators of cell proliferation and growth include mitotic or B-type cyclins whose transcription is restricted to the G2 and M phases. Current research suggests that MYB-related transcription factors may be responsible for this restriction. Cdk-interacting proteins, such as cdk inhibitors and suc1 homologues, have been isolated using yeast two-hybrid approaches.

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
