Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 controls peripheral immune tolerance. [PDF]
Abstract Adaptive immunity requires signals from both the TCR and the costimulatory molecule CD28. These receptors activate multiple signaling pathways, including the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) cascade, and antigenic signals in the absence of costimulation result in a tolerant state that is enforced by the CDK inhibitory protein ...

Role for cyclin-dependent kinase 2 in mitosis exit [PDF]
Mitosis requires cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) 1-cyclin B activity [1]. Exit from mitosis depends on the inactivation of the complex by the degradation of cyclin B [2]. Cdk2 is also active during mitosis [3, 4]. In Xenopus egg extracts, cdk2 is primarily in complex with cyclin E, which is stable [5]. At the end of mitosis, downregulation of cdk2-cyclin

Cyclin Dependent Kinase 2 (CDK2) Inhibitors in Oncology Clinical Trials: A Review [PDF]
Cyclin dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) is responsible for enforcing progression through the G1-S phase transition. Mutations and alterations in the CDK2 signaling pathway are associated with various cancers, most commonly breast, ovarian, prostate, leukemia ...

Cyclin-dependent Kinase 2 Nucleocytoplasmic Translocation Is Regulated by Extracellular Regulated Kinase [PDF]
Activation of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2)-cyclin E in the late G(1) phase of the cell cycle is important for transit into S phase. In Chinese hamster embryonic fibroblasts (IIC9) phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and ERK regulate alpha-thrombin-induced G(1) transit by their effects on cyclin D1 protein accumulation (Phillips-Mason, P. J., Raben, D. M.,

Molecular Motions of Human Cyclin-dependent Kinase 2 [PDF]
We present a comprehensive description of the dynamic behavior of CDK2 in complex with cyclin A, arrived at by analysis of a total of 0.25 micros of solvated molecular dynamics trajectories and 42 deposited CDK2 structures, and refined using other protein simulation algorithms. The CDK2-cyclin A dimer is a dynamic complex of 6 subdomains.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 protects podocytes from apoptosis. [PDF]
AbstractLoss of podocytes is an early feature of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and predicts its progression. We found that treatment of podocytes with sera from normoalbuminuric type 1 diabetes patients with high lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activity, known to predict progression of DN, downregulated CDK2 (cyclin-dependent kinase 2). LPS-treatment of mice also

Modulation of β-Catenin Phosphorylation/Degradation by Cyclin-dependent Kinase 2 [PDF]
beta-Catenin functions as a downstream component of the Wnt/Wingless signal transduction pathway, and inappropriate control of cytosolic beta-catenin is a crucial step in the genesis of several human cancers. Here we demonstrate that cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) in association with cyclin A or cyclin E directly binds to beta-catenin. In vivo and in

Protein Phosphatase 1H, Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor p27, and Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 2 in Paclitaxel Resistance for Triple Negative Breast Cancers. [PDF]
Paclitaxel is a cytotoxic chemotherapy commonly used in patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC); however, the resistance to paclitaxel is a cause of poor response in the patients. The aim of this study was to examine the role of protein phosphatase 1H (PPM1H) in paclitaxel resistance in breast cancer patients.To investigate the function of ...

Foxp3 protein stability is regulated by cyclin-dependent kinase 2. [PDF]
Foxp3 is a transcription factor required for the development of regulatory T cells (Treg). Mice and humans with a loss of Foxp3 function suffer from uncontrolled autoimmunity and inflammatory disease. Expression of Foxp3 is necessary for the anti-inflammatory capacity of Treg, but whether Foxp3 activity is further subject to regulation by extracellular

Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 2 Promotes Tumor Proliferation and Induces Radio Resistance in Glioblastoma [PDF]
Accumulating evidence indicates that CDK2 promotes hyperproliferation and is associated to poor prognosis in multiple cancer cells. However, the physiological role of CDK2 in GBM and the biological mechanism still remains unclear.
