Recent studies have implicated the cell cycle kinase cdc2 and cyclin A in the inhibition of the fusion of endocytic vesicles in vitro during mitosis. However, the presence of cyclins or their associated cyclin dependent kinases (cdks) in the endocytic fractions have not been reported. Using Western-blotting and immunocytochemistry approaches with different anticyclin A antibodies we have detected cyclin A in the endocytic compartment of the rat liver. During the pre-replicative phase of liver regeneration the amount of cyclin A in endosomes increases significantly with a peak around 12 hours after partial hepatectomy. Cyclin A-dependent kinases, cdc2 and cdk2, were also found in isolated endosome fractions, showing a distinct kinetics of accumulation during the regenerative period. Finally, histone H1 kinase activity was detected associated with cyclin A in endocytic vesicles and increased in regenerating liver. These results suggest that changes in the organization and in the function of the endocytic compartment during the hepatocellular proliferation may be modulated by proteins involved in the regulation of the cell cycle.
