    Background

    Cell division cycle associated 2 (CDCA2, Repo-Man) is a cell-cycle protein that recruits protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) to mitotic chromatin at anaphase onset, which is essential for cell proliferation (1). Carboxy-terminal phosphorylation of CDCA2 at Ser893 by Aurora B inhibits the protein and leads to diffuse localization during prometaphase and metaphase. Dephosphorylation of CDCA2 by PP2A is necessary for CDCA2/PP1 complex reformation (2). The CDCA2/PP1 complex is required for chromatin binding and dephosphorylation of histone H3 at Thr3, Ser10, and Ser28 (2-4). The CDCA2/PP1 complex is also involved in nuclear envelope reformation during mitotic exit for proper progression through the M/G1 transition (4). The interaction of CDCA2 with importin beta and Nup153, which is required for nuclear envelope formation, is negatively regulated by CDK phosphorylation of the amino-terminal domain of CDCA2 (5). CDCA2 may play a role in DNA repair as the release of CDCA2 from chromatin at sites of DNA damage promotes the activation of DNA damage response (6). These results imply that the CDCA2/PP1 complex may play a part in cancer progression. Research studies indicate that CDCA2 may serve as a prognostic marker, as increased CDCA2 expression is seen in a number of cancers, including melanoma, neuroblastoma tumors, squamous cell carcinoma, and synovial sarcomas (7-9).
