Cyclin I: a new cyclin encoded by a gene isolated from human brain.
A new member of the cyclin family has been isolated from an equalized cDNA library derived from human forebrain cortex. This putative cyclin, designated cyclin I, contains a typical cyclin box near the N-terminus and a PEST sequence near the C-terminus. Cyclin I shows the highest sequence similarity in the cyclin box to cyclins G and E, while the similarity between cyclins I and G also extends toward the C-terminus from the cyclin box. Cyclin I mRNA was expressed at high levels in postmitotic tissues, including skeletal muscle, heart, and brain, and was expressed constantly during cell cycle progression. The expression of cyclin I mRNA does not correlate directly to the cell cycle, and therefore cyclin I may be a novel cyclin member that functions independently of the cell cycle control.
