Human Gene CDK11A (ENST00000404249.8) from GENCODE V44
Description: Homo sapiens cyclin dependent kinase 11A (CDK11A), transcript variant 6, non-coding RNA. (from RefSeq NR_132740) RefSeq Summary (NM_024011): This gene encodes a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family. Members of this kinase family are known to be essential for eukaryotic cell cycle control. Due to a segmental duplication, this gene shares very high sequence identity with a neighboring gene. These two genes are frequently deleted or altered in neuroblastoma. The protein kinase encoded by this gene can be cleaved by caspases and may play a role in cell apoptosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]. Gencode Transcript: ENST00000404249.8 Gencode Gene: ENSG00000008128.23 Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg38 chr1:1,702,379-1,724,357 Size: 21,979 Total Exon Count: 20 Strand: - Coding Region Position: hg38 chr1:1,702,907-1,722,818 Size: 19,912 Coding Exon Count: 19
ID:CD11A_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Cyclin-dependent kinase 11A; EC=2.7.11.22; AltName: Full=Cell division cycle 2-like protein kinase 2; AltName: Full=Cell division protein kinase 11A; AltName: Full=Galactosyltransferase-associated protein kinase p58/GTA; AltName: Full=PITSLRE serine/threonine-protein kinase CDC2L2; FUNCTION: Appears to play multiple roles in cell cycle progression, cytokinesis and apoptosis. The p110 isoforms have been suggested to be involved in pre-mRNA splicing, potentially by phosphorylating the splicing protein SFRS7. The p58 isoform may act as a negative regulator of normal cell cycle progression. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein. COFACTOR: Magnesium. ENZYME REGULATION: Phosphorylation at Thr-436 or Tyr-437 inactivates the enzyme, while phosphorylation at Thr-583 activates it (By similarity). SUBUNIT: The cleaved p110 isoform, p110C, binds to the serine/threonine kinase PAK1. The p58 isoform but not the p110 isoform or p110C interacts with CCND3. The p110 isoforms are found in large molecular weight complexes containing CCNL1 and SFRS7. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed ubiquitously. Some evidence of isoform-specific tissue distribution. INDUCTION: The p58 isoform is specifically induced in G2/M phase of the cell cycle. PTM: During apoptosis, induced by Fas or tumor necrosis factor, specific CKD11 p110 isoforms are cleaved by caspases to produce a protein (p110C) that contains the C-terminal kinase domain of the CDK11 proteins. MISCELLANEOUS: Duplicated gene. CDK11A and CDK11B encode almost identical protein kinases of 110 kDa that contain at their C- termini the open reading frame of a smaller 58 kDa isoform which is expressed following IRES-mediated alternative initiation of translation. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CMGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. CDC2/CDKX subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 protein kinase domain. CAUTION: Many references talk about 'p110 isoforms' but it is not yet known if this refers to CDK11A and/or CDK11B or one/some of the isoforms of each.

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
