The complex CDK3-cyclin is involved in the control of the progression of G0. While the mechanisms governing early and late G1 progression are well understood, very little is known about the G0-G1 transition. Human CDK3 is closely related to cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2). Since there is no crystallographic structure of human CDK3, this work describes for the first time a molecular model of human CDK3 complexed with several inhibitors. Comparison of the binary complexes with different inhibitors strongly indicates that those inhibitors should inhibit CDK3 as well as CDK2.
复杂的CDK3-细胞周期蛋白参与G0期进程的调控。虽然控制G1期早期和晚期进程的机制已为人熟知,但对于G0-G1期转换却知之甚少。人类CDK3与细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶2(CDK2)密切相关。由于目前尚无人类CDK3的晶体结构,这项工作首次描述了人类CDK3与几种抑制剂复合的分子模型。对不同抑制剂的二元复合物进行比较强烈表明,这些抑制剂应同时抑制CDK3和CDK2。
