Cyclin C surprises in tumour suppression

Nature Cell Biology volume 16, pages 1031–1033 (2014)Cite this article

Subjects

Despite the importance of cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) in the control of cell division, the physiological role of many of these regulators remains unknown. Cyclin C and its associated kinases Cdk3, Cdk8 and Cdk19 are now shown to function as tumour suppressors in haematopoietic malignancies by inhibiting the Notch1 pathway.
