Cell division cycle protein 23 homolog (CDC23)

The protein contains 597 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 68834 Da.

 

Component of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), a cell cycle-regulated E3 ubiquitin ligase that controls progression through mitosis and the G1 phase of the cell cycle. The APC/C complex acts by mediating ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of target proteins: it mainly mediates the formation of 'Lys-11'-linked polyubiquitin chains and, to a lower extent, the formation of 'Lys-48'- and 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains.

DESCRIPTION

CDC23 is a subunit of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC), which functions at the metaphase-to-anaphase transition of the cell cycle and is regulated by spindle checkpoint proteins. The APC is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that targets cell cycle regulatory proteins for degradation by the proteasome, thereby allowing progression through the cell cycle (summary by Jorgensen et al., 2001).

CLONING

By searching EST databases with peptide sequences from Xenopus APC subunits, Yu et al. (1998) identified partial cDNAs encoding human APC2 (606946), APC4 (606947), APC5 (606948), APC7 (606949), and CDC23. Zhao et al. (1998) stated that CDC23, CDC27 (116946), APC7, and CDC16 (603461) are members of the TPR (tetratricopeptide repeat) family. The TPR is an imperfect 34-amino acid motif implicated in protein-protein interactions (see 601963). These authors reported that the predicted 591-amino acid human CDC23 protein shares 30% protein sequence identity with S. cerevisiae CDC23. Both the human and yeast proteins contain 9 TPR units, which are arranged as a single repeat followed by a block of 8 tandem repeats. Northern blot analysis revealed that the approximately 3.3-kb CDC23 mRNA is expressed ubiquitously.

GENE STRUCTURE

The CDC23 gene contains 16 exons spanning 31 kb (Zhao et al., 1998).

MAPPING

By genomic sequence analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization, Zhao et al. (1998) mapped the CDC23 gene to chromosome 5q31.1. ... More on the omim web site
