CDC2 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT0S5646G0040 (CDC2) in garden pea (Pisum sativum) on chromosome CAADHX020013926.1 encodes a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) with protein serine/threonine kinase activity, RNA polymerase II CTD heptapeptide repeat kinase activity, and ATP binding. It is associated with cell cycle control, including G1 phase, S phase, mitotic G2/M transition, mitosis, regulation of mitotic entry, and meiotic cell cycle modulation. The gene is also linked to cell division, signal transduction, regulation of growth, regulation of gene expression, rRNA processing, translation elongation, and protein synthesis. Its product localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm, CDK holoenzyme, and NRD complex. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to similar cell cycle functions.
