CDC23, also known as APC8, is a component of the tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) APC/C sub-complex that also includes APC3 (CDC27) and APC6 (CDC16). APC8 protein associates with APC3 and APC6 to facilitate the recruitment of the APC/C coactivation subunits CDC20 and Cdh1/FZR1. APC8 protein is overexpressed in papillary thyroid cancer and acts as an important regulator of cell cycle progression and cell growth.
Cdc25C is a protein phosphatase responsible for dephosphorylating and activating cdc2, a crucial step in regulating the entry of all eukaryotic cells into mitosis. Cdc25C is constitutively phosphorylated at Ser216 throughout interphase by c-TAK1, while phosphorylation at this site is DNA damage-dependent at the G2/M checkpoint. When phosphorylated at Ser216, Cdc25C binds to members of the 14-3-3 family of proteins, sequestering Cdc25C in the cytoplasm and thereby preventing premature mitosis. The checkpoint kinases Chk1 and Chk2 phosphorylate Cdc25C at Ser216 in response to DNA damage.
CDC25C(cell division cycle 25C) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a conserved protein that plays a key role in the regulation of cell division. The encoded protein directs dephosphorylation of cyclin B-bound CDC2 and triggers entry into mitosis. It also suppresses p53-induced growth arrest. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described.
Cell division cycle protein 27 homolog (CDC27) is a component of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), a cell cycle-regulated E3 ubiquitin ligase that controls progression through mitosis and the G1 phase of the cell cycle. The APC/C complex acts by mediating ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of target proteins: it mainly mediates the formation of 'Lys-11'-linked polyubiquitin chains and, to a lower extent, the formation of 'Lys-48'- and 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains.
CDK1(cyclin dependent kinase 1) Homo sapiens The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family. This protein is a catalytic subunit of the highly conserved protein kinase complex known as M-phase promoting factor (MPF), which is essential for G1/S and G2/M phase transitions of eukaryotic cell cycle. Mitotic cyclins stably associate with this protein and function as regulatory subunits. The kinase activity of this protein is controlled by cyclin accumulation and destruction through the cell cycle. The phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of this protein also play important regulatory roles in cell cycle control. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Cdc42, the human homologue of the cell division cycle 42 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, belongs to the Rho/Rac subfamily of Ras-like GTPases. It acts as molecular switches to regulate numerous cellular responses including the organization of the actin cytoskeleton, gene transcription, cell cycle progression, and membrane trafficking.
The protein encoded by this gene is a small GTPase of the Rho-subfamily, which regulates signaling pathways that control diverse cellular functions including cell morphology, migration, endocytosis and cell cycle progression. This protein is highly similar to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cdc 42, and is able to complement the yeast cdc42-1 mutant. The product of oncogene Dbl was reported to specifically catalyze the dissociation of GDP from this protein. This protein could regulate actin polymerization through its direct binding to Neural Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (N-WASP), which subsequently activates Arp2/3 complex. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
