Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (Cdk9) is a serine/threonine protein kinase involved in regulating transcription elongation. It is often referred to as part of the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) complex. Cdk9 partners with cyclin T1 T2 or K to form this complex allowing it to phosphorylate the carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II. The molecular weight of Cdk9 is around 42 kDa. This protein is ubiquitously expressed found in many tissues including the heart liver and brain reflecting its important role.
Cdk9 functions as a central component of transcriptional processes. It is essential for the transition of RNA polymerase II from the initiation phase to productive elongation. As part of the P-TEFb complex Cdk9 targets negative elongation factors helping relieve their inhibition. This regulation is especially important in the control of genes with strong promoter proximally paused polymerase. By doing so Cdk9 controls the expression of several genes involved in cell growth differentiation and response to stress.
Cdk9 plays a significant role in transcription and signal transduction pathways. One important pathway is the NF-κB signaling where Cdk9 regulates the transcription of NF-κB target genes involved in immune response. Another significant pathway is the heat shock response where Cdk9 enhances the expression of heat shock proteins helping cells deal with stress. In both pathways it cooperates with other proteins like cyclins and negative elongation factors illustrating its interconnected role in cellular function.
Cdk9 has been linked to several conditions most notably cancer and cardiac hypertrophy. Its overactivation can lead to increased transcription of genes involved in proliferation making it a focus for cancer research. Cdk9 is also implicated in cardiac hypertrophy where its activity affects gene expression that can exacerbate the condition. Researchers study its interaction with other proteins such as THZ1 a Cdk9 inhibitor to explore potential therapeutic avenues.
