Cyclin-Dependent Kinases: CAK-handed kinase activation
نویسنده
چکیده
A protein kinase that activates cyclin-dependent kinases has been identified as a related catalytic subunit in association with a novel cyclin regulatory subunit--it is itself a cyclin-dependent kinase.

Cell cycle: Will the real Cdk-activating kinase please stand up
Activation of a cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) requires its association with a cyclin subunit and phosphorylation on a conserved residue by the Cdk-activating kinase (CAK). The discovery in budding yeast of a novel CAK that is structurally distinct from the CAKs of other eukaryotes raises questions about the 'true' CAK.

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) play essential roles in coordinate control of cell cycle progression. Activation of CDKs requires interaction with specific cyclin partners and phosphorylation of their T-loops by CDK-activating kinases (CAKs). The Arabidopsis thaliana genome encodes four potential CAKs. CAK2At (CDKD;3) and CAK4At (CDKD;2) are closely related to the vertebrate CAK, CDK7/p40MO15; ...
متن کاملThe Cdk-Activating Kinase (CAK) from Budding Yeast
Activation of the cyclin-dependent kinases to promote cell cycle progression requires their association with cyclins as well as phosphorylation of a threonine (residue 161 in human p34cdc2). This phosphorylation is carried out by CAK, the Cdk-activating kinase. We have purified and cloned CAK from S. cerevisiae. Unlike CAKs from other organisms, Cak1p is active as a monomer, has full activity w...
متن کاملFission yeast Csk1 is a CAK-activating kinase (CAKAK).
Cell cycle progression is dependent on the sequential activity of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). For full activity, CDKs require an activating phosphorylation of a conserved residue (corresponding to Thr160 in human CDK2) carried out by the CDK-activating kinase (CAK). Two distinct CAK kinases have been described: in budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the Cak1/Civ1 kinase is responsible ...
متن کاملCiv1 (CAK In Vivo), a Novel Cdk-Activating Kinase
Cyclin-dependent protein kinases (Cdks) play key roles in regulating cell division and gene expression. Most Cdks require binding of a cyclin and phosphorylation by a Cdk-activating kinase (CAK) to be active. We report the identification of Civ1 (CAK in vivo), a novel CAK activity in S. cerevisiae. Civ1 is most similar in sequence to the Cdks, but unlike them is active as a monomer and may thus...
