Gene Summary
Cyclin A (CycA) encodes a protein that binds to the product of Cdk1, thereby promoting Cdk1's protein kinase activity. The CycA-Cdk1 complex controls important aspects of progression through the cell cycle, including entry into mitosis. During the G2 phase, this complex is important for prevention of premature DNA re-replication. During mitosis and G1, the product of CycA is rapidly degraded (involving APC/C and the proteasome), resulting in inactivation of Cdk1 protein kinase activity.

Protein Function (UniProtKB)
Essential for the control of the cell cycle at the G2/M (mitosis) transition. Interacts with the Cdk1 and Cdk2 protein kinases to form MPF. G2/M cyclins accumulate steadily during G2 and are abruptly destroyed at mitosis.
(UniProt, P14785)
Phenotypic Description (Red Book; Lindsley and Zimm 1992)
CycA: Cyclin A
Encodes cyclin, a molecule involved in the cell cycle; the pattern of transcription reflects this. Maternal message uniformly distributed in newly laid egg, but becomes more concentrated in the cortex prior to peripheral nuclear migration. At the time of cellularization of the blastoderm, zygotic message is produced. Cyclin A accumulates in the interphase cytoplasm of cellularized embryos, but relocates to the nuclear region early in prophase and is completely degraded during metaphase. A functional cyclin A gene is required for continued cell division after exhaustion of maternally provided cyclin A. Message confined to dividing tissues in brain and imaginal disks in larvae.
Summary (Interactive Fly)

a a G2-M phase cyclin - cell cycle regulator - dimerization partner of Cdk1/Cdc2 kinase - during the G2 phase the CycA-Cdk1 prevents premature DNA re-replication - during mitosis and G1, CycA is rapidly degraded resulting in inactivation of Cdk1 protein kinase activity

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

External Data
Subunit Structure (UniProtKB)

Component of the Frs-CycA-Cdk1 complex composed of CycA, Cdk1 and Z600 (PubMed:17431409). Interacts (via C-terminus) with Z600 (PubMed:17431409). Interacts with otu and (via C-terminus) with bam; the interaction stabilizes CycA by negatively regulating its ubiquitination (PubMed:28484036).

(UniProt, P14785)
Post Translational Modification

Ubiquitinated (PubMed:28484036). Ubiquitination state is negatively regulated by a deubiquitinase complex made up of bam and otu (PubMed:28484036).

Additional Descriptive Data

The cyclins are normally found in the cytoplasm of interphase cells and become nuclear in prophase cells. CycA protein is abruptly degraded and is not detectable in metaphase or anaphase cells. Cells of embryos heat shocked in G2 phase of cycle 14 show very high levels of the cyclins and cyclin degradation is delayed: heat shock causes a disruption in cell cycle progression.

The highest CycA protein concentration is found in the cytoplasm at interphase. CycA protein associates with chromatin during mitosis. It is not completely degraded at the metaphase-anaphase transition in syncytial embryos.

CycA protein is initially distributed uniformly throughout the syncytial embryo. It becomes concentrated in the cortex in a 30-40 micron deep layer as nuclei migrate to the surface.

CycA protein appears to be concentrated over the region of the condensing chromatin in prophase cells. CycA protein accumulates in the interphase cytoplasm of cellularized embryos, but relocates to the nuclear region early in prophase and is completely degraded within metaphase.

        The CycA protein inhibits the premature degradation of mitotic cyclins and stg protein by negatively regulating the rap protein.

        RNAi screen using dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene causes a cell growth and viability phenotype when assayed in Kc167 and S2R+ cells.

        CycA is required for entry into mitosis.

        The presence of the N terminal region is not required for CycAs function in mitotic entry.

        CycA degradation facilitates chromosome disjunction.

        Two EMS induced alleles have been identified in a screen for mutations affecting commissure formation in the CNS of the embryo.

        Candidate gene for tibia length quantitative trait locus.

        Candidate gene for quantitative trait (QTL) locus determining bristle number.

        CycA regulates the nuclear changes while CycB regulates cytoskeletal changes in syncytial preblastoderm embryos.

        A balance of CycA and CycB proteins seems necessary for proper coordination during the embryonic cycles.

        numb functions downstream of cell division genes (CycA, Rca1 and stg) and progression through the cell cycle is required for asymmetric localisation of numb and thus N mediated specification of the sib fate in the RP2/sib division.

        The loss of CycA, Rca1 or stg leads to a block in the division of GMC-1, however this GMC-1 adopts a RP2 identity.

        Double and triple mutant analyses show that CycB3, CycB and CycA cooperate during mitosis.

        Rca1 positively regulates CycA by modulating CycA protein levels.

        CycA is misexpressed in the PNS of da mutant embryos.

        CycA protein can drive the G1/S transition in embryos, but this function is suppressed by three types of control: destruction of CycA protein, inhibitory phosphorylation of cdc2 and inhibition by rux.

        Ectopic rux converts the mitotic cycle into an endoreplication cycle by down-regulating CycA-associated kinase activity.

        Cloning and sequencing of CycA reveals a sequence identical to DRE (DNA replication-related element) in the region of nucleotide positions -71 to -64 with respect to the transcription initiation site. The role of the DRE in promoter activity is studied and results indicate CycA is under the control of the DRE/Dref system.

        Heterozygosity for CycA is not sufficient for females to produce viable homozygous kni mutant progeny. Double heterozygotes for CycA and CycB increase the efficiency for kni mutant rescue suggesting the cyclins interact synergistically.

        Observations in CycA mutants implicate G2 cyclins in reinitiation of DNA replication during the G2 phase of the mitotic cell cycle.

        Comparison of the fzy mutant phenotype with the phenotype resulting from expression of N-terminal truncated CycA, CycB or CycB3 suggests that fzy is not required for mitotic cyclin degradation alone, because fzy mutations, but not truncated cyclins, block chromosome separation.

        rux acts genetically to negatively regulate CycA.

        During development, changing levels of cell cycle regulators alters the rate limiting step and the mechanism governing progress of the cell cycle.

        Mutation in CycA affects cell division in the neuronal lineage.

        CycA is required for PNS development in the embryo.

        CycA transcripts injected into the syncytial blastoderm do not become incorporated to the pole cells, as CycB transcripts do.

        The CycA product has a mitotic function and acts synergistically with CycB during the G2-M transition.

        As part of an investigation into the effects of 37oC heat shock on G2-phase cycle 14 embryos, the degradation of cyclin A and cyclin B in the resulting synchronised mitotic domains was shown to be delayed.

        CycA gene product is not required for the continued rounds of DNA replication in the ventral cord or in endoreplicating tissues during embryonic development.

        A functional CycA gene is required for continued cell division after exhaustion of maternally provided cyclin A.

        Maternal message uniformly distributed in newly laid egg, but becomes more concentrated in the cortex prior to peripheral nuclear migration. At the time of cellularization of the blastoderm, zygotic message is produced. Cyclin A accumulates in the interphase cytoplasm of cellularized embryos, but relocates to the nuclear region early in prophase and is completely degraded during metaphase. Message confined to dividing tissues in brain and imaginal discs in larvae.

        CycA and CycB are coexpressed in all proliferating cells throughout development.

        CycA has a role in the G2 to M transition, independent of spindle formation.

        CycA is required for cell cycle progression.
