Abstract:
Cyclin Dependent Kinases (CDKs) regulate the cell division cycle, apoptosis, transcription and differentiation in addition to functions in the nervous system. They are regulated by their cyclin partners and by a variety of additional protein effectors (inhibitors, kinases, phosphatases). Each CDK serves its function by means of specific protein recognition properties. These are also responsible for the differential regulation of CDKs/Cyclin couples involved in processes as different as cell cycle and transcription. The structural features determining general and specific properties for CDKs/Cyclin complexes are analyzed. They reside in an overall conserved architecture with divergent spots used by the complexes to present themselves to specific substrates or other protein effectors.
