- I visited the SGD Database and we chose the CLN1 gene as the model organism.
- First, searched through information on the SGD database:
- Overview: regulation of cell cycle promoting first growth phase to S phase.
- Found on chromosome XIII; also provides the sequence.
- Cyclin dependent protein kinase.
- Found within the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
- Encodes for a G1 cyclin which regulates the cell cycle.
- Cyclins are essential because they activate CDKs at the correct times within the cell cycle.
- Provides length of protein to be 546 a.a., PI to be 5.62, and molecular weight to be 62038.2
- ANother observation on the website, it provides additional literature regarding the study of CLN1.
