Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb163790
• Gene Symbol: ZmCDKB1 CDKB1 cdc3
• Gene Name: cell division control protein homolog3
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• We studied maize CDKA2;1a and CDKB1;1, two of the main types of CDKs that control the cell cycle in plants. These kinases could be activated by the classical mechanism and by the association of CycD2;2a to a phosphorylated intermediate in its activation loop, a previously unproven mechanism for the activation of plant CDKs.
• Unlike CDKA2;1a, CDKB1;1 did not require CAK for its activation, since it autophosphorylated in its activation loop.
• The CDKB1;1/CycD2;2a complex autophosphorylates in vitro in the T loop.
• CDKB1 does not require CDK-activating kinase (CAK) for its activation, since it autophosphorylated in its activation loop.
