Table 8 List of genes appearing in the putative cell cycle regulated cluster

CYCA1;1 (CYCLIN A1;1); cyclin-dependent protein kinase regulator

member of SYP11 Gene Family

Mutant has cytokinesis defects; seedling lethal

pectinesterase family protein

encodes a homolog of animal microtubule-end-binding protein. There are two other members of this family. EB1 forms foci at regions where the minus ends of microtubules are gathered during mitosis and early cytokinesis.

plastocyanin-like domain-containing protein

Encodes one of two ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes belonging to the E2-C gene family (the other being UBC19). Transcript is always found in diving cells, but also in other non-dividing cells.

Encodes a gene similar to cellulose synthase. Knock-out mutant has reduced growth, reduced xylan level and reduced xylan synthase activity in stems.

Encodes a cyclin-dependent protein kinase involved in regulation of the G2/M transition of the mitotic cell cycle.

male sterility MS5, putative

high mobility group (HMG1/2) family protein

WD-40 repeat family protein

similar to unknown protein [Arabidopsis thaliana]
