Cell division protein kinase 8 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CDK8 gene. [5][6] The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the cyclin-dependent protein kinase (CDK) family. CDK8 and cyclin C associate with the mediator complex and regulate transcription by several mechanisms.

2024年12月24日 · CDK8 (Cyclin Dependent Kinase 8) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CDK8 include Intellectual Developmental Disorder With Hypotonia And Behavioral Abnormalities and Ebstein Anomaly.

2019年1月14日 · This has led to intense efforts to understand how CDK8/19 regulate diverse biological outputs and develop Mediator kinase inhibitors that can be exploited therapeutically. Herein, we review both context and function of the Mediator kinases at a …

2010年1月24日 · Cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8), the kinase found in some variants of Mediator, has been characterized mostly as a transcriptional repressor. Recently, CDK8 was demonstrated to be a potent...

We focus on sequence-specific, DNA-binding transcription factors and other Mediator kinase substrates, and how CDK8 or CDK19 may enable metabolic and transcriptional reprogramming through enhancers and chromatin looping. We also summarize Mediator kinase inhibitors and their therapeutic potential.

2023年6月27日 · Here, a transcriptome-based screen of biologically active compounds uncovered that CDK8 inhibition was essential to enable chemically induced reprogramming from fibroblasts into XEN-like cells, then CiPSCs.

CDK8 belongs to a group of cyclin-dependent kinases involved in transcriptional regulation from yeast to mammals. CDK8 associates with the Mediator complex, but functions outside of Mediator are also likely.

To identify genes that both modulate β-catenin activity and are essential for colon cancer cell proliferation, we conducted two loss-of-function screens in human colon cancer cells and compared genes identified in these screens with an analysis of copy-number alterations in colon cancer specimens.

2018年6月28日 · Cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8) plays a vital role in regulating transcription either through its association with the Mediator complex or by phosphorylating transcription factors. Myriads of genetic and biochemical studies have established CDK8 as a key oncogenic driver in many cancers.

5 天之前 · On the other hand, CDK8 over-expression lines (CDK8-YFP #6 and CDK8-YFP #11) had higher green cotyledon percentages (Supplementary Fig. 1a, b) and longer primary roots compared to the WT (Fig. 1a ...
