Here we report the cloning and functional characterization of the cyclin D-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (Cdk4/6) inhibitory protein Cdkn2d/p19 Ink4d of Xenopuslaevis ( Xl -Ink4d). Xl - Ink4d is the only Ink4 family gene highly expressed during Xenopus development and its transcripts were detected maternally and during neurulation. The Xl -Ink4d protein has 63% identity to mouse and human Cdkn2d/p19 Ink4d and its function as a negative regulator of cell cycle traverse is evolutionary conserved. Indeed, Xl -lnk4d can functionally substitute for mouse Cdkn2d in binding to mouse Cdk4 and inhibiting cyclin-D1-dependent CDK4 kinase activity. Further, enforced expression of Xl -lnk4d arrests mouse fibroblasts in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. These findings indicate that CDKN2d/p19 Ink4d is conserved through vertebrate evolution and suggest Xl -lnk4d may contribute to the development of Xenopuslaevis .
