Popis: The Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen, PCNA, has roles in both G1 and S phases of the cell cycle. Here we show that maize PCNA can be found in cells in structures of a trimer or a dimer of trimer, in complexes of high molecular mass that change in size as germination proceeds, co-eluting with cell cycle proteins as CycD3;1 and CDKs (A/B1;1). Using different methodological strategies, we show that PCNA actually interacts with CycD3;1, CDKA, CDKB1;1, KRP1;1 and KRP4;1, all of which contain PIP or PIP-like motifs. Anti-PCNA immunoprecipitates show kinase activity that is inhibited by KRP1;1 and KRP4;2, indicating the formation of quaternary complexes PCNA-CycD/CDKs-KRPs in which PCNA would act as a platform. This inhibitory effect seems to be differential during the germination process, more pronounced as germination advances, suggesting a complex regulatory mechanism in which PCNA could bind different sets of cyclins/CDKs, some more susceptible to inhibition by KRPs than others.
