Cdt1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable DNA binding activity; DNA polymerase binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including DNA replication checkpoint signaling; attachment of mitotic spindle microtubules to kinetochore; and regulation of DNA-templated DNA replication. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of nuclear cell cycle DNA replication. Predicted to be located in kinetochore and nuclear body. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Meier-Gorlin syndrome 4. Orthologous to human CDT1 (chromatin licensing and DNA replication factor 1).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Cdt1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

  • chromatin binding
  • Cdt1 middle winged helix domain
  • protein binding
  • PIP degron
  • cyclin-binding domain
  • Cdt1_c
  • DNA binding
  • cyclin-CDK binding domain
