Cdk-activating kinase (CAK) is a trimeric complex composed of cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (Cdk7), cyclin H, and RING finger protein Methionine Adenosyltransferase 1 (MAT1). Cyclin H activates Cdk7, while MAT1 plays a role in influencing the substrate specificity of the complex.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The Cdk7/cyclin H/Mat1 (CAK complex) plays a role in both cell cycle regulation and transcription. Within the complex, Cdk7 functions as the Cdk-activating kinase for cell cycle and as a part of the general transcription factor, Transcription Factor II H (TFIIH), for transcription process. Additionally, it also regulates gene expression by phosphorylating transcription factors such as estrogen receptor-α (ER), p53, retinoid receptors, androgen receptor, and estrogen receptor. Elevated expression levels of Cdk7, cyclin H, and MAT1 have been observed in breast cancer patients. Inhibition of cdk7 is associated with the development of colorectal cancer in humans.
