Citation | Journal: Science / Year: 2025Title: Structural basis of T-loop-independent recognition and activation of CDKs by the CDK-activating kinase. Authors: Victoria I Cushing / Amy J S McGeoch / Sophie L Williams / Theodoros I Roumeliotis / Junjie Feng / Lucy M Dan / Jyoti S Choudhary / Norman E Davey / Basil J Greber / ![]() Abstract: Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are prototypical regulators of the cell cycle. The CDK-activating kinase (CAK) acts as a master regulator of CDK activity by catalyzing the activating phosphorylation ...Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are prototypical regulators of the cell cycle. The CDK-activating kinase (CAK) acts as a master regulator of CDK activity by catalyzing the activating phosphorylation of CDKs on a conserved threonine residue within the regulatory T-loop. However, structural data illuminating the mechanism by which the CAK recognizes and activates CDKs have remained elusive. In this study, we determined high-resolution structures of the CAK in complex with CDK2 and CDK2-cyclin A2 by cryogenic electron microscopy. Our structures reveal a T-loop-independent kinase-kinase interface with contributions from both kinase lobes. Computational analysis and structures of the CAK in complex with CDK1-cyclin B1 and CDK11 indicate that these structures represent the general architecture of CAK-CDK complexes. These results advance our mechanistic understanding of cell cycle regulation and kinase signaling cascades. | |||||||||
