Function

Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) or Cell division protein kinase are serine/threonine protein kinases which are important to the regulation of the cell cycle. CDKs are small proteins which contain just a kinase domain. In order to function, CDK binds the regulatory protein cyclin. CDKs phosphorylate their substrates at a consensus tetrapeptide. The CDK classes differ by the binding cyclin and their function in human.[1]

  • CDK1 binds cyclin and forms a complex which phosphorylates a variety of substrates which are involved in cell cycle progression[2]

•CDK2 is involved in the control of the cell cycle. It interacts with the regulatory protein cyclin A2. Phosphorylation at Thr14 or Tyr15 inactivates it; phosphorylation at Thr160 (T160P) – activates it[3]. See also Intrinsically Disordered Protein.
•CDK3 binds cyclin C and functions during the G1 phase[4].
•For details on CDK4 see Cyclin Dependent Kinase-4 and Palbociclib.

  • CDK5 binds p53 and functions during transcription[5].

•CDK6 binds cyclin D and functions during the G1 phase[6]. See also Palbociclib and Abemaciclib.

  • CDK7 may serve as a direct link between transcription regulation and the cell cycle[7].

•CDK8 binds cyclin C and functions during transcription[8].
•CDK9 regulates gene transcription elongation by phosphorylating the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II[9].
•CDK11 plays a role in regulating cell cycle, RNA transcription and processing, neuronal function and apoptosis[10].
•CDK12 phosphorylates the C-terminal domain of the large subunit of RNA polymerase II. Acts as a regulator of transcription elongation[11].
•CDK13 is required for RNA splicing[12].
•CDK16 plays a role in vesicle-mediated transport processes and exocytosis[13].

Relevance

CDK is a potential target for anti-cancer therapy. Overexprssion of CDK2 is indicator of oral cancer[14]. CDK2 may be a suitable drug target for melanoma[15]. Inhibition of CDK5 alleviates the cardiac phenotypes of Timothy Syndrome[16]. Up-regulated CDK6 activity is associated with several types of cancers and thus its inhibitors can serve as cancer drug targets[17]. Overexprssion of CDK7 is associated with unfavorable prognosis of oral squamous cells carcinoma[18]. CDK16 negatively modulates p53 signaling pathway to promote radio resistance and hence represents a therapeutic target for lung cancer radiotherapy[19].

Disease

CDK12 mutations have been found in several malignancies including ovarian carcinoma[20].

Structural highlights

The kinase ATP-binding active site is located in a cleft between the small N-lobe and the large C-lobe. Phosphorylated Thr near the binding site is required for kinase activity.[21]
