Abstract CDK1 is the only essential cell cycle CDK in human cells and required for successful completion of M-phase. It founding member family conserved across all eukaryotes. Here we report crystal structures complexes CDK1–Cks1 CDK1–cyclin B–Cks2. These confirm nature inactive monomeric fold its ability to be remodelled by cyclin binding. Relative CDK2–cyclin A, B less thermally stable, has a smaller interfacial surface, more susceptible activation segment dephosphorylation shows...

We have prepared phosphorylated cyclin-dependent protein kinase 2 (CDK2) for crystallization using the CDK-activating 1 (CAK1) fromSaccharomyces cerevisiae and grown crystals microseeding techniques. Phosphorylation of monomeric human CDK2 by CAK1 is more efficient than phosphorylation binary CDK2-cyclin A complex. Phosphorylated exhibits histone H1 activity corresponding to approximately 0.3% that observed with fully activated Fluorescence measurements shown Thr160 increases affinity both...

Heterochromatin represents a cytologically visible state of heritable gene repression. In the yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, swi6 encodes heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1)-like chromodomain that localizes to domains, including centromeres, telomeres, and donor mating-type loci, is involved in silencing at these loci. We identify here functional domains swi6p demonstrate from mammalian HP1-like protein, M31, can functionally replace swi6p, showing function conserved yeasts humans....
