Flavopiridol Protects Against Inflammation by Attenuating Leukocyte-Endothelial Interaction via Inhibition of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 9 [PDF]
Objective: The cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor flavopiridol is currently being tested in clinical trials as anticancer drug. Beyond its cell death–inducing action, we hypothesized that flavopiridol affects inflammatory processes.

CDK-dependent nuclear localization of B-Cyclin Clb1 promotes FEAR activation during meiosis I in budding yeast [PDF]
Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) are master regulators of the cell cycle in eukaryotes. CDK activity is regulated by the presence, post-translational modification and spatial localization of its regulatory subunit cyclin.

Objective: Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs, play important roles in cell cycle regulation. Since deregulation of cyclins and/or alteration or absence of inhibitors has been associated with many cancers, there is strong interest in CDKs inhibitors that ...

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 ...

Nuclear translocation of Cyclin B1 marks the restriction point for terminal cell cycle exit in G2 phase [PDF]
Upon DNA damage, cell cycle progression is temporally blocked to avoid propagation of mutations. While transformed cells largely maintain the competence to recover from a cell cycle arrest, untransformed cells past the G1/S transition lose mitotic ...

Cyclin-dependent kinases-based synthetic lethality: Evidence, concept, and strategy
Synthetic lethality is a proven effective antitumor strategy that has attracted great attention. Large-scale screening has revealed many synthetic lethal genetic phenotypes, and relevant small-molecule drugs have also been implemented in clinical ...

The amyloid-β peptide binds to cyclin B1 and increases human cyclin-dependent kinase-1 activity [PDF]
The pathological features of Alzheimer's disease include deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) containing plaques and increases in the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) enzymes.

The retinoblastoma (RB) family of proteins are found in organisms as distantly related as humans, plants, and insects. These proteins play a key role in regulating advancement of the cell division cycle from the G1 to S-phases.

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.
