== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CDK2_HUMAN CDK2_HUMAN] Serine/threonine-protein kinase involved in the control of the cell cycle; essential for meiosis, but dispensable for mitosis. Phosphorylates CTNNB1, USP37, p53/TP53, NPM1, CDK7, RB1, BRCA2, MYC, NPAT, EZH2. Interacts with cyclins A, B1, B3, D, or E. Triggers duplication of centrosomes and DNA. Acts at the G1-S transition to promote the E2F transcriptional program and the initiation of DNA synthesis, and modulates G2 progression; controls the timing of entry into mitosis/meiosis by controlling the subsequent activation of cyclin B/CDK1 by phosphorylation, and coordinates the activation of cyclin B/CDK1 at the centrosome and in the nucleus. Crucial role in orchestrating a fine balance between cellular proliferation, cell death, and DNA repair in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Activity of CDK2 is maximal during S phase and G2; activated by interaction with cyclin E during the early stages of DNA synthesis to permit G1-S transition, and subsequently activated by cyclin A2 (cyclin A1 in germ cells) during the late stages of DNA replication to drive the transition from S phase to mitosis, the G2 phase. EZH2 phosphorylation promotes H3K27me3 maintenance and epigenetic gene silencing. Phosphorylates CABLES1 (By similarity). Cyclin E/CDK2 prevents oxidative stress-mediated Ras-induced senescence by phosphorylating MYC. Involved in G1-S phase DNA damage checkpoint that prevents cells with damaged DNA from initiating mitosis; regulates homologous recombination-dependent repair by phosphorylating BRCA2, this phosphorylation is low in S phase when recombination is active, but increases as cells progress towards mitosis. In response to DNA damage, double-strand break repair by homologous recombination a reduction of CDK2-mediated BRCA2 phosphorylation. Phosphorylation of RB1 disturbs its interaction with E2F1. NPM1 phosphorylation by cyclin E/CDK2 promotes its dissociates from unduplicated centrosomes, thus initiating centrosome duplication. Cyclin E/CDK2-mediated phosphorylation of NPAT at G1-S transition and until prophase stimulates the NPAT-mediated activation of histone gene transcription during S phase. Required for vitamin D-mediated growth inhibition by being itself inactivated. Involved in the nitric oxide- (NO) mediated signaling in a nitrosylation/activation-dependent manner. USP37 is activated by phosphorylation and thus triggers G1-S transition. CTNNB1 phosphorylation regulates insulin internalization.<ref>PMID:10499802</ref> <ref>PMID:11051553</ref> <ref>PMID:10995386</ref> <ref>PMID:10995387</ref> <ref>PMID:10884347</ref> <ref>PMID:11113184</ref> <ref>PMID:15800615</ref> <ref>PMID:18372919</ref> <ref>PMID:20147522</ref> <ref>PMID:20079829</ref> <ref>PMID:20935635</ref> <ref>PMID:20195506</ref> <ref>PMID:19966300</ref> <ref>PMID:21262353</ref> <ref>PMID:21596315</ref> <ref>PMID:21319273</ref> <ref>PMID:17495531</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The transitions of the cell cycle are regulated by the cyclin dependent protein kinases (CDKs). The cyclins activate their respective CDKs and confer substrate recognition properties. We report the structure of phospho-CDK2/cyclin B and show that cyclin B confers M phase-like properties on CDK2, the kinase that is usually associated with S phase. Cyclin B produces an almost identical activated conformation of CDK2 as that produced by cyclin A. There are differences between cyclin A and cyclin B at the recruitment site, which in cyclin A is used to recruit substrates containing an RXL motif. Because of sequence differences this site in cyclin B binds RXL motifs more weakly than in cyclin A. Despite similarity in kinase structures, phospho-CDK2/cyclin B phosphorylates substrates, such as nuclear lamin and a model peptide derived from p107, at sequences SPXX that differ from the canonical CDK2/cyclin A substrate recognition motif, SPXK. CDK2/cyclin B phosphorylation at these non-canonical sites is not dependent on the presence of a RXL recruitment motif. The p107 peptide contains two SP motifs each followed by a non-canonical sequence of which only one site (Ser640) is phosphorylated by pCDK2/cyclin A while two sites are phosphorylated by pCDK2/cyclin B. The second site is too close to the RXL motif to allow the cyclin A recruitment site to be effective, as previous work has shown that there must be at least 16 residues between the catalytic site serine and the RXL motif. Thus the cyclins A and B in addition to their role in promoting the activatory conformational switch in CDK2, also provide differential substrate specificity.

Cyclin B and cyclin A confer different substrate recognition properties on CDK2.,Brown NR, Lowe ED, Petri E, Skamnaki V, Antrobus R, Johnson LN Cell Cycle. 2007 Jun 1;6(11):1350-9. Epub 2007 Jun 11. PMID:17495531<ref>PMID:17495531</ref>
