Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) activity is correlated with worse outcomes of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients. The heterodimer between CDK9 with cyclin T1 is essential for maintaining the active state of the kinase and targeting this ...

Cyclin B1/Cdk1 phosphorylation of mitochondrial p53 induces anti-apoptotic response. [PDF]
The pro-apoptotic function of p53 has been well defined in preventing genomic instability and cell transformation. However, the intriguing fact that p53 contributes to a pro-survival advantage of tumor cells under DNA damage conditions raises a critical ...

A complex role of Arabidopsis CDKD;3 in meiotic progression and cytokinesis
Meiosis is a specialized cell division that halves the number of chromosomes in two consecutive rounds of chromosome segregation. In angiosperm plants is meiosis followed by mitotic divisions to form rudimentary haploid gametophytes.

Polo-like kinase 1 inhibits the activity of positive transcription elongation factor of RNA Pol II b (P-TEFb). [PDF]
Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) is a highly conserved Ser/Thr kinase in eukaryotes and plays a critical role in various aspects of the cell cycle. Plk1 exerts its multiple functions by phosphorylating its substrates.

CAPTURE of the Human U2 snRNA Genes Expands the Repertoire of Associated Factors
In order to identify factors involved in transcription of human snRNA genes and 3′ end processing of the transcripts, we have carried out CRISPR affinity purification in situ of regulatory elements (CAPTURE), which is deadCas9-mediated pull-down, of the ...

Phosphorylation of MCPH1 isoforms during mitosis followed by isoform‐specific degradation by APC/C‐CDH1 [PDF]
Microcephalin‐1 (MCPH1) exists as 2 isoforms that regulate cyclin‐dependent kinase‐1 activation and chromosome condensation during mitosis, with MCPH1 mutations causing primary microcephaly.

Cyclin-dependent kinase-specific activity predicts the prognosis of stage I and stage II non-small cell lung cancer [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. Even with complete resection, the prognosis of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer is poor due to local and distant recurrence, and it remains unclear which biomarkers are

Cyclin-dependent kinase-1: linking apoptosis to cell cycle and mitotic catastrophe [PDF]
The cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1), formerly called Cdc2 (or p34(Cdc2)), interacts with cyclin B1 to form an active heterodimer. The activity of Cdk1 is subjected to a complex spatiotemporary regulation, required to guarantee its scheduled contribution to the mitotic prophase and metaphase.

TORC1 coordinates the conversion of Sic1 from a target to an inhibitor of cyclin-CDK-Cks1 [PDF]
Eukaryotic cell cycle progression through G1–S is driven by hormonal and growth- related signals that are transmitted by the target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) pathway.
