PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • homodimeric structure of CDK2AP1 including an intrinsically disordered 60-AA N-terminal region, and a phosphorylation site for IKBKE at Ser-46, which is located in the intrinsically disordered N-terminal region of the protein structure
  • a four-helix bundle dimeric structure with reduced Cys-105 in the C-terminal region
  • mono polymer homomer , dimer

    basic FUNCTION
  • growth suppressor
  • regulation of DNA replication
  • plays an essential role in the early stage of embryogenesis and has a potential role during craniofacial morphogenesis
  • CDK2AP1 exerts its effect on stem cell
  • maintenance/differentiation through epigenetic regulation
  • plays likely an important role in modulating the growth and tumorigenesis of lung cancer cells and also has significant effects on the chemosensitivity of pulmonary malignancies
  • tumor suppressor that plays a role in cell cycle regulation by sequestering monomeric CDK2, and targeting it for proteolysis
  • knockdown of CDK2AP1 in primary human fibroblasts reduced proliferation and induced premature senescence, with the observed phenotype being TP53 dependent
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, replication
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • alternatively, a significant fraction of reduced homo- or heterodimeric CDK2AP1 may be present prior to its activation by disulfide bond formation within the dimeric structure
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • (p180,catalytic subunit) inhibiting DNA polymerase alpha/primase by its effect on the associated CDK2 activity
  • negative regulator of CDK2 activity
  • progesterone is primary regulator of CDK2AP1 gene expression and tissue-specific expression in the uterus
  • two putative binding partners: CDK2AP2 and CDK2
  • CDK2AP1 is a substrate for IKBKE
  • suppresses cell growth, differentiation and angiogenesis in numerous types of carcinoma by interacting with certain cell cycle proteins, including CDK2
  • cell & other
