cyclin-dependent kinase-9 (CDK9, serine/threonine protein kinase PITALRE, CDC2L4)
Function:
- member of the cyclin-dependent kinase pair P-TEFb (CDK9/cyclin-T complex)
- associates with CCNT1/cyclin-T1 to form P-TEFb.
- associates with CCNK/cyclin-K
- CDK9/cyclin-K complex has also a kinase activity toward CTD of RNAP II & can substitute for P-TEFb in vitro
- component of a complex which is at least composed of HTATSF1/Tat-SF1, P-TEFb complex, RNA pol II, SUPT5H, & NCL/nucleolin
- component of the 7SK snRNP complex
Structure:
- belongs to the protein kinase superfamily, CMGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. CDC2/CDKX subfamily
- contains 1 protein kinase domain
Compartment: nucleus
Alternative splicing: named isoforms=2
