Evaluation of transcriptional cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors as potential cancer therapeutics

Cancer cells depend heavily on sustained expression of anti-apoptotic proteins. Targeting transcription to suppress these anti-apoptotic proteins seems a promising strategy for anti-cancer therapy. Cyclin-dependant kinase 9 (CDK9) regulates transcription elongation by phosphorylating Ser2 on the C-t...
