Abstract excerpt
Different positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) complexes isolated from mammalian cells contain a common catalytic subunit (Cdk9) and the unique regulatory cyclins CycT1, CycT2a, CycT2b, or CycK. The role of CycK as a transcriptional cyclin was demonstrated in this study. First, CycK activated transcription when tethered heterologously to RNA, which required the kinase activity of Cdk9. Although...
