Summary
CDC27 (cell division cycle 27, HGNC:1728) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q21.32, encoding Cell division cycle protein 27 homolog (P30260). Component of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), a cell cycle-regulated E3 ubiquitin ligase that controls progression through mitosis and the G1 phase of the cell cycle. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 99.8% of cancer cell lines).
The protein encoded by this gene shares strong similarity with Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein Cdc27, and the gene product of Schizosaccharomyces pombe nuc 2. This protein is a component of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC), which is composed of eight protein subunits and is highly conserved in eukaryotic cells. This complex catalyzes the formation of cyclin B-ubiquitin conjugate, which is responsible for the ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of B-type cyclins. The protein encoded by this gene and three other members of the APC complex contain tetratricopeptide (TPR) repeats, which are important for protein-protein interactions. This protein was shown to interact with mitotic checkpoint proteins including Mad2, p55CDC and BUBR1, and it may thus be involved in controlling the timing of mitosis. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. Related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 2, 22 and Y.

Function. Component of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), a cell cycle-regulated E3 ubiquitin ligase that controls progression through mitosis and the G1 phase of the cell cycle. The APC/C complex acts by mediating ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of target proteins: it mainly mediates the formation of ‘Lys-11’-linked polyubiquitin chains and, to a lower extent, the formation of ‘Lys-48’- and ‘Lys-63’-linked polyubiquitin chains. The APC/C complex catalyzes assembly of branched ‘Lys-11’-/‘Lys-48’-linked branched ubiquitin chains on target proteins.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. The mammalian APC/C is composed at least of 14 distinct subunits ANAPC1, ANAPC2, CDC27/APC3, ANAPC4, ANAPC5, CDC16/APC6, ANAPC7, CDC23/APC8, ANAPC10, ANAPC11, CDC26/APC12, ANAPC13, ANAPC15 and ANAPC16 that assemble into a complex of at least 19 chains with a combined molecular mass of around 1.2 MDa; APC/C interacts with FZR1 and FBXO5. Interacts with RB. Interacts with FAM168B/MANI. Interacts with MCPH1.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Spindle.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation on Ser-426 and Thr-446 occurs specifically during mitosis.
Pathway. Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
Miscellaneous. May be due to competing acceptor splice site.
Similarity. Belongs to the APC3/CDC27 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 152 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
