Abstract
A novel mammalian cell cycle protein, p55CDC, DNA sequences encoding p55CDC, and a method for producing the protein are described. Also described are methods for detecting p55CDC and methods for modulating cell division by compounds which control the level or activity of p55CDC or p55CDC-associated protein complexes.
Claims2
An antibody that specifically binds a polypeptide selected from:
- a) a polypeptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 2 or a fragment thereof;
- b) a polypeptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 4 or a fragment thereof;
- and
- c) a polypeptide encoded by a first nucleotide sequence, wherein the first nucleotide sequence hybridizes to the complement of a second nucleotide sequence at 42° C. in 40% formamide and 5×SSPE followed by three washes in 2×SSC, 0.1% SDS at 50° C. and one wash in 0.5×SSC, 0.1% SDS, wherein the second nucleotide sequence is SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or SEQ ID NO:
- 3;
- wherein the polypeptide forms a complex having cell cycle dependent kinase activity against at least histone H1 alpha-casein, and myelin basic protein.
