Western blot - Human CDK8 knockout HeLa cell lysate (AB257885)

Lane 1 : Wild-type HeLa cell lysate (20 μg)

Lane 2 : CDK8 knockout HeLa cell lysate (20 μg)

Lane 3 : HAP1 cell lysate (20 μg)

Lane 4 : Daudi cell lysate (20 μg)

Lanes 1-4 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab229192 observed at 53 kDa. Red - loading control ab8245 observed at 37 kDa.

ab229192 Anti-Cdk8 antibody [EPR21005] was shown to specifically react with Cdk8 in wild-type HeLa cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab265087 (knockout cell lysate ab257885) was used. Wild-type and Cdk8 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab229192 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 1000 dilution and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Supplementary information

Cdk8 also known as Cyclin-dependent kinase 8 forms an important component of the transcription regulation machinery. It has a molecular mass of about 66 kDa and is widely expressed in various tissues though its abundance can vary. Cdk8 operates largely in the nucleus of cells where it participates in regulating gene expression. Cdk8 acts as a kinase by modifying other proteins through phosphorylation which alters their activity and function.
Biological function summary

Cdk8 plays a critical role in modulating transcriptional responses. It does this by becoming part of the Mediator complex which is essential for transcription regulation by RNA Polymerase II. The Mediator complex where Cdk8 acts as a kinase influences the initiation and regulation of gene expression. Cdk8 phosphorylates several transcription factors and other components affecting their ability to activate or repress transcription.

Pathways

Cyclin-dependent kinase 8 functions prominently in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling and Notch signaling pathways both essential for development and cell differentiation. In the Wnt pathway it interacts closely with proteins like β-catenin to influence gene activation. In the Notch pathway it modulates transcription factors related to cellular differentiation processes. These interactions underline its role as a regulator in carefully managing cellular responses to signaling cues.

Cdk8 has been implicated in cancer and congenital disorders. Its overactivity can lead to uncontrolled cell growth contributing to tumor progression notably in colorectal cancer where it affects genes in the Wnt pathway. Beyond cancer its dysfunction links to congenital heart defects where it affects cardiogenesis-associated proteins such as NOTCH1. Cdk8’s involvement in these pathways highlights its part in both regular development and disease pathogenesis.
