CDC2 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT4G190440 (CDC2) on garden pea chromosome 4LG4 encodes a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) with protein serine/threonine kinase activity, RNA polymerase II CTD heptapeptide repeat kinase activity, and cyclin binding capability. The gene is associated with cell cycle control, including G1/S and G2/M transitions, mitosis, meiotic cell cycle modulation, cell division, and regulation of growth. It is linked to signal transduction, regulation of gene expression, translation elongation, protein synthesis, and rRNA processing. The encoded protein localises to the nucleus, cytoplasm, CDK holoenzyme, and NRD complex. Related genes in other species link the family to cell cycle regulation and kinase activity.
