CYCD3-1 — Lactuca sativa

Summary

LsCYCD3-1 (CYCD3-1) on chromosome 4 of garden lettuce (Lactuca sativa) encodes a cyclin protein with cyclin-box and cyclin C-terminal domains, and has cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase regulator activity. The gene is associated with the G1/S transition of the mitotic cell cycle, cell division, cell differentiation, regeneration, and callus formation. Its product localises to the nucleus, cytoplasm, and CDK holoenzyme complex. LsCYCD3-1 is linked to photosynthetic rate, and related genes in other species are linked to net photosynthetic rate and stomatal resistance.
