CYCLIN H, A POSITIVE REGULATORY SUBUNIT OF CDK ACTIVATING KINASE
Overview
Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), which play a key role in cell cycle, control, are activated by the CDK activating kinase (CAK), which activates, cyclin-bound CDKs by phosphorylation at a specific threonine residue., Vertebrate CAK contains two key components: a kinase subunit with homology, to its substrate CDKs and a regulatory subunit with homology to cyclins., We have determined the X-ray crystal structure of the regulatory subunit, of CAK, cyclin H, at 2.6 A resolution. Cyclin H contains two alpha-helical, core domains with a fold similar to that of cyclin A, a regulatory subunit, of CAK substrate CDK2, and of TFIIB, a transcription factor. Outside of, the core domains, the N- and C-terminal regions of the three structures, are completely different. The conformational differences between cyclin H, and A structures may reflect functional differences between the two, cyclins.
