Title
Effect of serine/threonine protein kinases and protein phosphatases inhibitors on mitosis progression in a synchronized tobacco BY-2 culture
Author
Abstract
In order to investigate the role of various serine/threonine protein kinases and protein phosphatases in the regulation of mitosis progression in plant cells, the influence of cyclin(olomoucine) and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent (W7) protein kinases inhibitors, as well as protein kinase C inhibitors (H7 and staurosporine), and a protein phosphatases inhibitor (okadaic acid) on mitosis progression in synchronized tobacco BY-2 cells has been studied. It was found that BY-2 culture treatment with inhibitors of cyclin-dependent protein kinases and protein kinase C caused a prophase delay, reduced the mitotic index, and displaced the mitotic peak as compared with control cells. Inhibition of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases enhanced the cells entry into prophase and delayed their exit from mitosis. Meanwhile inhibition of serine/threonine protein phosphatases insignificantly enhances synchronized BY-2 cells entering into all phases of mitosis.
