Background

CDK3 (cyclin dependent kinase 3) is a member of the cyclin-dependent protein kinase family, and it is involved in cell cycle, transcription and splicing.  CDK associates with cyclins, which induce a conformational change that results in a dramatic increase of the kinase activity. Cyclin levels vary during the cell cycle, which allow cyclins to regulate CDK activity in the cell. Dissociation of the complex returns CDK to its basal activity, and CDK is degraded by ubiquitin mediated proteolysis. Lack of regulation in cell cycle can result in apoptosis and finally in cancer, neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s or Parkinson disease) and cardiovascular complications (stroke). The understanding of the mechanisms involved in cell cycle regulation, and its control via the use of small molecule inhibitors will open new therapeutic avenues for the treatment of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
