Cyc A, DmcycA, dCycA, rsg11
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

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

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).

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.
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.

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.

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.
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.
Observations in CycA mutants implicate G2 cyclins in reinitiation of DNA replication during the G2 phase of the mitotic cell cycle.
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.
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 has a role in the G2 to M transition, independent of spindle formation.
CycA is required for cell cycle progression.
