From the Departments of We report the identification and
expression pattern of a full-length human cDNA and a partial mouse
cDNA encoding cyclin B3. Cyclin B3 (CCNB3) is conserved
from Caenorhabditis elegans to Homo sapiens and
has an undefined meiotic function in female, but not male
Drosophila melanogaster. We show that H. sapiens cyclin B3 interacts with cdk2, is localized to the
nucleus, and is degraded during anaphase entry after the degradation of
cyclin B1. Degradation is dependent on sequences conserved in a
destruction box motif. Overexpression of nondegradable cyclin B3 blocks
the mitotic cell cycle in late anaphase, and at higher doses it can interfere with progression through G1 and entry into S
phase. H. sapiens cyclin B3 mRNA and protein are
detected readily in developing germ cells in the human testis and not
in any other tissue. The mouse cDNA has allowed us to further
localize cyclin B3 mRNA to leptotene and zygotene spermatocytes.
The expression pattern of mammalian cyclin B3 suggests that it may
be important for events occurring in early meiotic prophase I.
