Biochem Physiol Actions: CDK1 (cyclin-dependent kinase 1) gene encodes a protein that belongs to the Ser/Thr protein kinase family. CDKs catalyze the transfer of phosphate from ATP to specific protein substrates and function in cell cycle processes. It forms a subunit of a protein kinase complex known as M-phase promoting factor (MPF). The complex is involved in G1/S and G2/M phase transitions of eukaryotic cell cycle. In the absence of interphase Cdks (Cdk2, Cdk3, Cdk4 and Cdk6), Cdk1 binds to all cyclins, phosphorylates the retinoblastoma protein pRb and regulates the expression of genes controlled by E2F transcription factors. It drives all the events required for mammalian cell division even in the absence of other Cdks. It functions in double-strand break (DSB)-induced homologous recombination at any stage of the cell cycle. It recruits single-stranded DNA-binding complex, RPA, and the Rad51 recombination protein at the DSB ends and ensures efficient 5' to 3' resection.
