Selective anticancer activity of a hexapeptide with sequence homology to a non-kinase domain of Cyclin Dependent Kinase 4 [PDF]
Background: cyclin-dependent kinases 2, 4 and 6 (Cdk2, Cdk4, Cdk6) are closely structurally homologous proteins which are classically understood to control the transition from the G1 to the S-phases of the cell cycle by combining with their appropriate ...

Cyclin-dependent kinases [PDF]
SummaryCyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are protein kinases characterized by needing a separate subunit - a cyclin - that provides domains essential for enzymatic activity. CDKs play important roles in the control of cell division and modulate transcription in response to several extra- and intracellular cues.

Spy1-activated Cyclin Dependent Kinase 2 Shows Reduced Affinity for Current Synthetic Small Molecule Inhibitors of the CDK2-Cyclin Complex [PDF]
Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) play a key role in activating essential cell biology processes including cellular proliferation. Inappropriate regulation of CDKs has been implicated in driving several different forms of cancer.

Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 5 and Insulin Secretion [PDF]
Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) is emerging as a multifunctional kinase involved in regulating numerous cellular processes. Lately, Cdk5 has also emerged as a key controller of regulated membrane fusion in secretory cells.

Multiple cutaneous melanomas associated with gastric and brain metastases [PDF]
The occurrence of multiple primary melanomas in a single individual is rare. Most commonly, malignant melanocytic lesions subsequent to the initial diagnosis of melanoma are secondary cutaneous metastases.

PCAF regulates the stability of the transcriptional regulator and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27Kip1 [PDF]
P27(Kip1) (p27) is a member of the Cip/Kip family of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors. Recently, a new function of p27 as transcriptional regulator has been reported.

Identification of calpain cleavage sites in the G1 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p19(INK4d) [PDF]
Calpains are a large family of Ca2+-dependent cysteine proteases that are ubiquitously distributed across most cell types and vertebrate species. Calpains play a role in cell differentiation, apoptosis, cytoskeletal remodeling, signal transduction and ...
