Oscillation in energy levels is widely variable in dividing and differentiated cells. To synchronize cell proliferation and energy fluctuations, cell cycle-related proteins have been implicated in the regulation of mitochondrial energy-generating pathways in yeasts and animals. Plants have chloroplasts and mitochondria, coordinating the cell energy flow. Recent findings suggest an integrated regulation of these organelles and the nuclear cell cycle. Furthermore, reports indicate a set of interactions between the cell cycle and energy metabolism, coordinating the turnover of proteins in plants. Here, we discuss how cell cycle-related proteins directly interact with energy metabolism-related proteins to modulate energy homeostasis and cell cycle progression. We provide interfaces between cell cycle and energy metabolism-related proteins that could be explored to maximize plant yield.
