CDKN1A(cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1A),癌症关联基因,基因ID:1026,这个基因编码一种有效的细胞周期蛋白依赖激酶抑制剂。编码蛋白结合并抑制细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶2或-细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶4复合物的活性,因此在G1期起调节细胞周期进展的作用。该基因的表达受到肿瘤抑制蛋白p53的严格控制,通过该蛋白介导p53依赖细胞周期G1期停滞,以响应各种应激刺激。该蛋白可与DNA聚合酶辅助因子增殖细胞核抗原相互作用,在S期DNA复制和DNA损伤修复中起调节作用。据报道,这种蛋白被casp3样caspases特异性地切割,从而导致细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶2的显著激活,并可能在caspase激活后的凋亡执行中起到作用。缺乏这种基因的小鼠有能力再生受损或缺失的组织。已发现该基因的多个选择性剪接变体。This gene encodes a potent cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor. The encoded protein binds to and inhibits the activity of cyclin-cyclin-dependent kinase2 or -cyclin-dependent kinase4 complexes, and thus functions as a regulator of cell cycle progression at G1. The expression of this gene is tightly controlled by the tumor suppressor protein p53, through which this protein mediates the p53-dependent cell cycle G1 phase arrest in response to a variety of stress stimuli. This protein can interact with proliferating cell nuclear antigen, a DNA polymerase accessory factor, and pl。
