CDK9 is a cdc2-related kinase protein. Previously named PITALRE, this protein is a serine-threonine kinase involved in many physiological processes. Unlike most of the cdc2-like kinases, its activity is not cell cycle-regulated. CDK9 acts preferentially in processes different from cell- cycle regulation, such as differentiation.

CDK9 has been shown to associate with the HIV-Tat protein, suggesting a possible involvement in AIDS. CDK9 recently was shown to be responsible for the kinase activity associated with the TAK complex and with the P-TEFb complex, suggesting activity also in the transcription process.

Abstract

CDK9 is a cdc2-related kinase protein. Previously named PITALRE, this protein is a serine-threonine kinase involved in many physiological processes. Unlike most of the cdc2-like kinases, its activity is not cell cycle-regulated. CDK9 acts preferentially in processes different from cell- cycle regulation, such as differentiation. Its cyclin partners, cyclins of T family, recently have been isolated. CDK9 immunoprecipitates with several unidentified polypeptides that may regulate its kinase activity. CDK9 has been shown to associate with the HIV-Tat protein, suggesting a possible involvement in AIDS. CDK9 recently was shown to be responsible for the kinase activity associated with the TAK complex and with the P-TEFb complex, suggesting activity also in the transcription process.
