    basic FUNCTION
  • putative upregulated c-Myc target gene
  • regulating late S and G2 phase of the cell cycle
  • regulates nuclear-envelope breakdown and the nuclear accumulation of cyclin B1
  • particularly high in these compartments, which might render stem cells dependent on cyclin A, whereas in fibroblasts cyclins A and E play redundant roles in cell proliferation
  • major regulator in vertebrate cell cycle, associated with cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK), and involved in S-phase progression and entry into mitosis
  • CCNA2 helps initiate mitosis, in part through its effects on CCNB1, and CCNB1 and CCNB2 are particularly critical for the maintenance of the mitotic state
  • role in activating CCNB/CDK1 through promoting NFYA dependent transcription of CCNB and CDC2
  • negatively controls cell motility by promoting RHOA activation, thus demonstrating a novel CCNA2 function in cytoskeletal rearrangements and cell migration
  • key regulator of S phase progression and entry into mitosis
  • RSLISD1, PCNA, and CCNA2, which promote cell cycle progression, are repressed permanently in senescent cells
  • creates a cellular environment that promotes microtubule detachment from kinetochores in prometaphase to ensure efficient error correction and faithful chromosome segregation
  • functions as a timer in prometaphase to ensure efficient error correction, consistent with previous data showing a linear relationship between the duration of prometaphase and the level of CCNA2

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding and activating CDC2, CDK2
  • CCNA2/CDK2 specifically associates with APC in late G2 phase and phosphorylates it at Ser-1360, located in the mutation cluster region of APC
  • CCNA2 and MCM7 interact in the chromatin fraction (interaction with MCM7 is essential for the function of cyclin A in promoting S-phase entry)
  • CDK2/CCNA2 can phosphorylate and activate the transcription factor NFYA
  • potentiates the exchange activity of a RHOA-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor
  • as cells progress through S phase, CCNA2 initially forms complexes with CDK2, and, later, most CCNA2 molecules are bound to CDK1
  • SP1 is a major regulator of periodic expression of CKAP2, and cell-cycle-dependent phosphorylation of SP1 mediated by CCNA2 can regulate the DNA-binding affinity of SP1
  • HDAC3 directly interacts with and deacetylates CCNA2
  • is potentially a novel regulator of mitotic CCCNA2 degradation independent of spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC)
  • CIZ1 is a nuclear matrix protein that cooperates with cyclin A2 (encoded by CCNA2) and CDK2 to promote mammalian DNA replication
  • PLA2G4A acts as a bridge in the formation of a multiprotein complex at the G2-to-M transition to promote binding of SIRT2 to CCNA2-CDK2
