cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 3 and similar proteins This family is composed of eukaryotic cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 3 (CDKN3) and related archaeal and bacterial proteins. CDKN3 is also known as kinase-associated phosphatase (KAP), CDK2-associated dual-specificity phosphatase, cyclin-dependent kinase interactor 1 (CDI1), or cyclin-dependent kinase-interacting protein 2 (CIP2). It has been characterized as dual-specificity phosphatase, which function as a protein-serine/threonine phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.16) and protein-tyrosine-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.48). It dephosphorylates CDK2 at a threonine residue in a cyclin-dependent manner, resulting in the inhibition of G1/S cell cycle progression. It also interacts with CDK1 and controls progression through mitosis by dephosphorylating CDC2. CDKN3 may also function as a tumor suppressor; its loss of function was found in a variety of cancers including glioblastoma and hepatocellular carcinoma. However, it has also been found over-expressed in many cancers such as breast, cervical, lung and prostate cancers, and may also have an oncogenic function. |
