The molecular and biochemical characterization of cell cycle regulators in Pisum sativum

This dissertation focuses on the characterization of cdc2-type cell cycle regulators in Pisum sativum (garden pea). Immunoblot patterns indicate that $\sim$34 kDa cdc2-type proteins present in protein complexes may be phosphorylated in pea. As in other systems, these proteins copurify with a histone H1 kinase activity by p13$\sp{suc1}$-Sepharose affinity chromatography. p13$\sp{suc1}$-associated histone H1 kinase activity is elevated and a set of endogenous proteins is phosphorylated specifically at the S and M phases. Cell cycle changes in the p34 immunoblot pattern are not detected. These results suggest that, as in other systems, a cascade of protein kinases may regulate the plant cell cycle.
