Full Name cyclin dependent kinase 8
Alias IDDHBA, K35
Introduction The mammalian Mediator Complex is a multi-subunit protein complex that couples specific transcriptional regulators to RNA polymerase II (Pol II) and the basal transcription machinery. Interactions between distinct Mediator subunits and transcription factors allow for specific gene regulation.Mediator complex interactions control various biological processes, including insulin signaling NF-κB-dependent signaling stem cell pluripotency and self renewal, and proliferation of colon cancer cells.CDK8/Cyclin C, along with Med12 and Med13, constitute a subcomplex within the Mediator Complex thought to act as a molecular switch, inhibiting Pol II recruitment and transcription initiation. Expression of CDK8 abrogates E2F-1-dependent inhibition of β-catenin activity in colon cancer cells. High levels of CDK8 coincide with high β-catenin-dependent transcription in colon cancer cells, and their proliferation can be inhibited by suppressing CDK8 expression.CDK8 can phosphorylate Ser727 on STAT1, which reduces natural killer (NK) cell toxicity. As such, inhibitors are being pursued as potential therapeutics to enhance NK cell activity and combat a variety of cancer types.
