Structural highlights
Disease[CDK12_HUMAN] Chromosomal aberrations involving CDK12 may be a cause gastric cancer. Deletions within 17q12 region producing fusion transcripts with ERBB2, leading to CDK12-ERBB2 fusion leading to trunctated CDK12 protein not in-frame with ERBB2. Function[CCNK_HUMAN] May play a role in transcriptional regulation. In vitro, is associated with a kinase activity toward both RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain and CDK2 (CAK).[1] [CDK12_HUMAN] Cyclin-dependent kinase which displays CTD kinase activity and is required for RNA splicing. Has CTD kinase activity by hyperphosphorylating the C-terminal heptapeptide repeat domain (CTD) of the largest RNA polymerase II subunit RPB1, thereby acting as a key regulator of transcription elongation. Required for RNA splicing, possibly by phosphorylating SRSF1/SF2. Involved in regulation of MAP kinase activity, possibly leading to affect the response to estrogn inhibitors.[2] [3] [4] References
