We have identified mutations in the Drosophila cdc2 gene. The recessive lethality of these mutant alleles was rescued after P-element-mediated transformation with a genomic cdc2 fragment. Sequence analysis of amorphic alleles revealed non-conservative exchanges in evolutionary conserved positions. These alleles caused lethality at the larval-pupal interphase due to the absence of imaginal tissues. Embryonic lethality resulted when the maternal Dm cdc2 contribution was reduced through the use of a temperature-sensitive allele. Dm cdc2 function, therefore, is essential for cell proliferation throughout development. Dm cdc2 function is clearly required for mitosis, but no evidence for a requirement in S-phase was obtained. The reversible block of the mitotic proliferation which was observed in the PNS of mutant embryos occurred exclusively in the G2-phase. Moreover, while the mitotic proliferation of imaginal cells was blocked in the amorphic mutant larvae, non-imaginal larval cells continued to grow and endoreplicate their DNA. The Dm cdc2 mutant phenotype could neither be rescued with Dm cdc2c (encoding a cdc2-like kinase) nor enhanced by a reduction of the Dm cdc2c gene dose. These results indicate that the Dm cdc2- and Dm cdc2c-kinases control different processes.
