Abstract
Cyclin dependent kinase 8 (Cdk8) is a component of Mediator, an evolutionary conserved multiprotein complex that regulates RNA polymerase II-dependent transcription. Cdk8 has been implicated as a regulator of multiple steps in cell cycle progression. We here discuss recent advances in our understanding of Cdk8 function and a possible role for Mediator as a hub for integrating transcription regulation with cell cycle progression.Entities:
