Summary

Casein kinase 1 delta (CK1δ) activity is modulated by interactions with Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). This discovery offers new avenues for developing therapeutic strategies targeting neurological diseases and cancer.

Inhibition of Cdk Activity

The orderly progression of the cell cycle depends on the activation of Cdk protein by binding to its cyclin partner. However, the cell cycle must be restricted when undergoing abnormal changes. Most cancers correlate to the deregulated cell cycle, and since Cdks are a central component of the cell cycle, Cdk inhibitors are extensively studied to develop anticancer agents. For instance, cyclin D associates with several Cdks, such as Cdk 4/6, to form an active complex. The cyclin D-Cdk4/6 complex...
