Cyclin-dependent protein kinases
(CDKs) play key roles in regulating the eukaryotic cell cycle. We have
analyzed the expression of four rice (Oryza sativa) CDK
genes, cdc2Os1, cdc2Os2,
cdc2Os3, and R2, by in situ hybridization
of sections of root apices. Transcripts of cdc2Os1,
cdc2Os2, and R2 were detected uniformly
in the dividing region of the root apex. cdc2Os1 and
cdc2Os2 were also expressed in differentiated cells such
as those in the sclerenchyma, pericycle, and parenchyma of the central
cylinder. By contrast, signals corresponding to transcripts of
cdc2Os3 were distributed only in patches in the dividing
region. Counterstaining of sections with 4 ,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole and double-target in situ hybridization with a probe for histone H4
transcripts revealed that cdc2Os3 transcripts were
abundant from the G2 to the M phase, but were less abundant
or absent during the S phase. The levels of the Cdc2Os3 protein and its
associated histone H1-kinase activity were reduced by treatment of
cultured cells with hydroxyurea, which blocks cycling cells at the
onset of the S phase. Our results suggest that domains other than the conserved amino acid sequence (the PSTAIRE motif) have important roles
in the function of non-PSTAIRE CDKs in distinct cell-cycle
phases.
