Types

Table 1: Known CDKs, their cyclin partners, and their functions in the human and consequences of deletion in mice.

CDK Cyclin partner Function Deletion Phenotype in Mice
Cdk1 Cyclin B M phase None. ~E2.5.
Cdk2 Cyclin E G1/S transition Reduced size, imparted neural progenitor cell proliferation. Viable, but both males & females sterile.
Cdk2 Cyclin A S phase, G2 phase
Cdk3 Cyclin C G1 phase ? No defects. Viable, fertile.
Cdk4 Cyclin D G1 phase Reduced size, insulin deficient diabetes. Viable, but both male & female infertile.
Cdk5 p35 Transcription Severe neurological defects. Died immediately after birth.
Cdk6 Cyclin D G1 phase
Cdk7 Cyclin H CDK-activating kinase, transcription
Cdk8 Cyclin C Transcription
Cdk9 Cyclin T Transcription Embryonic lethal
Cdk11 Cyclin L ? Mitotic defects. E3.5.
? Cyclin F ? Defects in extraembryonic tissues. E10.5.
? Cyclin G ?

Famous quotes containing the word types:

    Our major universities are now stuck with an army of pedestrian, toadying careerists, Fifties types who wave around Sixties banners to conceal their record of ruthless, beaverlike tunneling to the top.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    The bourgeoisie loves so-called “positive” types and novels with happy endings since they lull one into thinking that it is fine to simultaneously acquire capital and maintain one’s innocence, to be a beast and still be happy.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    He’s one of those know-it-all types that, if you flatter the wig off him, he chatter like a goony bird at mating time.
    —Michael Blankfort. Lewis Milestone. Johnson (Reginald Gardner)
