Nuclear Targeting of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 2 Reveals Essential Roles of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 2 Localization and Cyclin E in Vitamin D-Mediated Growth Inhibition [PDF]
1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3), inhibits proliferation of a variety of cell types including adenocarcinoma of the prostate. We have previously shown that 1,25-(OH)2D3 increases the stability of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27KIP1, decreases cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) activity, and promotes G1 phase accumulation in human ...

A cyclin-dependent kinase that promotes cytokinesis through modulating phosphorylation of the carboxy terminal domain of the RNA Pol II Rpb1p sub-unit. [PDF]
In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the nuclear-localized kinase, Lsk1p, promotes cytokinesis by positively regulating the Septation Initiation Network (SIN).

p12DOC-1 Is a Novel Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 2-Associated Protein [PDF]
Regulated cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) levels and activities are critical for the proper progression of the cell division cycle. p12(DOC-1) is a growth suppressor isolated from normal keratinocytes. We report that p12(DOC-1) associates with CDK2.

Xanthorrhizol is a sesquiterpenoid from the rhizome of Curcuma xanthorrhiza. In our previous studies, xanthorrhizol suppressed cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression, inhibited cancer cell growth, and exerted an ...

Gauchos and ochos: a Wee1-Cdk tango regulating mitotic entry
The kinase Wee1 has been recognized for a quarter century as a key inhibitor of Cyclin dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1) and mitotic entry in eukaryotes. Nonetheless, Wee1 regulation is not well understood and its large amino-terminal regulatory domain (NRD) has

p27Kip1 and Cyclin Dependent Kinase 2 Regulate Passage Through the Restriction Point [PDF]
When quiescent cells are stimulated to reenter the cell cycle, growth factors are required only until the restriction point in G(1) phase. After this point the cell no longer requires growth factors, proliferative signaling molecules, or even protein synthesis in order to initiate DNA synthesis, which starts several hours later.

Cardiac-Specific Overexpression of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 2 Increases Smaller Mononuclear Cardiomyocytes [PDF]
Abstract —Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (cdk2) plays a critical role in the G1- to S-phase checkpoint of the cell cycle. Adult cardiomyocytes are believed to withdraw from the cell cycle. To determine whether forced overexpression of cdk2 results in altered cell-cycle regulation in the adult heart, we generated transgenic mice ...

CDK5: Key Regulator of Apoptosis and Cell Survival
The atypical cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) is considered as a neuron-specific kinase that plays important roles in many cellular functions including cell motility and survival. The activation of CDK5 is dependent on interaction with its activator p35,
