Cycle (cyc) is a gene in Drosophila melanogaster that encodes the CYCLE protein (CYC). The Cycle gene ( c yc) is expressed in a variety of cell types in a circadian manner. It is involved in controlling both the sleep-wake cycle and circadian regulation of gene expression by promoting transcription in a negative feedback mechanism.
The date of the most recent update to the HGNC database is listed immediately below the tables on this webpage.It appears to be updated daily. Since the four human protein-coding gene index pages require regular updates to maintain currency with the HGNC database and to be of any use, the following Python script was written to fully-automate the update process.
•List of human protein-coding genes page 4 covers genes SLC17A8–ZZZ3 NB: Each list page contains 5000 human protein-coding genes, sorted alphanumerically by the HGNC-approved gene symbol. Follow the Python code link for information about updates to the list of genes on these pages.

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the INK4 family of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors. This protein has been shown to interact with CDK4 or CDK6, and prevent the activation of the CDK kinases, thus function as a cell growth regulator that controls cell cycle G1 progression.
Fig. 1 The diagram shows the role of Cdk1 in progression through the S. cerevisiae cell cycle. Cln3-Cdk1 leads to Cln1,2-Cdk1 activity, eventually resulting in Clb5,6-Cdk1 activity and then Clb1-4-Cdk1 activity. [5] When bound to its cyclin partners, Cdk1 phosphorylation leads to cell cycle progression.
Activators such as E2F1, E2F2, E2F3a promote and help carryout the cell cycle, while repressors inhibit the cell cycle. Yet, both sets of E2F have similar domains. E2F1-6 have DP1,2 heterodimerization domain which allows them to bind to DP1 or DP2, proteins distantly related to E2F.
A mutation of this gene may lead to loss of control over the cell cycle leading to uncontrolled cellular proliferation. [8] [9] [10] Loss of p27 expression has been observed in metastatic canine mammary carcinomas. [11] [12] [13] Decreased TGF-beta signalling has been suggested to cause loss of p27 expression in this tumor type. [14]
