NCBI Protein Information
cell division control 2
NCBI Summary
A-type cyclin-dependent kinase. Together with its specific inhibitor, the Kip-related protein, KRP2 they regulate the mitosis-to-endocycle transition during leaf development. Dominant negative mutations abolish cell division. Loss of function phenotype has reduced fertility with failure to transmit via pollen. Pollen development is arrested at the second mitotic division. Expression is regulated by environmental and chemical signals. Part of the promoter is responsible for expression in trichomes. Functions as a positive regulator of cell proliferation during development of the male gametophyte, embryo and endosperm. Phosphorylation of threonine 161 is required for activation of its associated kinase.

UniProt Comments
Involved in the control of the cell cycle. Essential for both G1/S and G2/M (mitosis) phase transitions. Functions in cell morphogenesis as well as cell proliferation. Required for cell division (entry into mitosis) of the generative cell in male gametogenesis. Required to trigger guard mother cells (GMC) symmetric divisions at the late stage of stomatal development, probably via the regulation of G1 to S transition in the cell cycle. Promotes divisions in the guard cells (GCs) after the guard mother cells (GMC) symmetric division when in the presence of CYCD3-2 (PubMed:24687979).
