Abstract excerpt
The function of most cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) is to facilitate progression through the checkpoints of the cell cycle, but Cdk5 is known to be involved in differentiation of CNS, muscle, and lens cells, though not in the cell cycle traverse. Here we show an additional role for Cdk5, an enhancement of monocytic differentiation with abrogation of the G1 checkpoint. Human leukemia HL60 cells exposed to...
