Abstract excerpt
We have cloned, sequenced, and characterized the expression of a Drosophila cyclin B gene. The independent evolutionary conservation of A- and B-type cyclins implies that they have distinct roles. Indeed, in mutant embryos deficient in cyclin A, cells that accumulate only cyclin B do not enter mitosis. Thus, in vivo, cyclin B is not sufficient for mitosis. Furthermore, we find that the two cyclins are coexpressed...
