Abstract excerpt
Protein kinases orthologous with Cak1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ScCak1) appear specific to ascomycetes. ScCak1 phosphorylates Cdc28, the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) governing the cell cycle, as well as Kin28, Bur1 and Ctk1, CDKs required for the transcription process performed by RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II). Using genetic methods, we found that Cak1 genetically interacts with Paf1 and Ctr9, two components...
