Abstract excerpt
The regulation of mitosis in higher plant cells has been investigated by microinjecting protein kinase from the metaphase-arresting (met1) mutant of Chlamydomonas. Biochemical characterization of this enzyme complex confirms the presence of a p34cdc2/cyclin B-like kinase. The enzyme was injected into living stamen hair cells of Tradescantia virginiana in which microtubules (MTs) were visualized using fluorescent...
