摘要

The eukaryotic cell cycle is regulated by cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). CDK4 and CDK6, which are activated by D-type cyclins during the G_1 phase of the cell cycle, are thought to be responsible for phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma gene product (pRb). The tumor suppressor p16~(INK4A) inhibits phosphorylation of pRb by CDK4 and CDK6 and can thereby block cell cycle progression at the G_1/S boundary. Phosphorylation of the carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) of the large subunit of RNA polymerase II by general transcription factor TFIIH is believed to be an important regulatory event in transcription. TFIIH contains a CDK7 kinase subunit and phosphorylates the CTD. We have previously shown that p16~(INK4A) inhibits phosphorylation of the CTD by TFIIH. Here we report that the ability of p16~(INK4A) to inhibit CDK7-CTD kinase contributes to the capacity to induce cell cycle arrest. These results suggest that p16~(INK4A) may regulate cell cycle progression by inhibiting not only CDK4-pRb kinase activity but also by modulating CDK7-CTD kinase activity. Regulation of CDK7-CTD kinase activity by p16~(INK4A) thus may represent an alternative pathway for controlling cell cycle progression.
