Cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) is a protein kinase family involved in regulation of the cell cycle.

These Cdks are relatively small protein enzymes are responsible for mitosis, specifically transcriptional activity. They help activate DNA repair by being inhibited through phosphorylation during DNA damage response (DDR). They are also generally inactive during checkpoints along the cell cycle. More than one Cdk can be in charge of different phases of the cell cycle. Often times, DDR is controlled by overall level of Cdk activity, and not by individual Cdks <ref name="overall cdk">PMID: 19995934</ref>. | ||
CDKs are activated through physical association with cyclin, a family of proteins, in which their abundance and proteolysis pattern within the cell vary according to the stage of cell cycle. Major transitions in the cell cycle are caused by activation of CDKs 1-4, which causes phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of key residues. Cells enter mitosis as protein-bound phosphates increase (Hames et al., 1998). In mammalian cells, it had been suggested that CDK-3, along with CDK-2, are required for G1/S stage (Hutchison p.111). Compared to CDK-1, 2, and 4, the role of CDK-3 is still unclear, as no cyclin partner had been found for it. However, it had been shown that it delays cells in the G1 phase (Hutchison, p.149). | CDKs are activated through physical association with cyclin, a family of proteins, in which their abundance and proteolysis pattern within the cell vary according to the stage of cell cycle.

Cdk’s are found in Eukaryotes, including human and yeast cells. Each organism has a different number of Cdks. In yeast, there is less, and more in humans. It is easier to study which Cdk is responsible for which part of the cell cycle in yeast than in humans, because of the level of complexity of Cdk and other cell activities in Homo Sapiens | Cdk’s are found in Eukaryotes, including human and yeast cells.

However, the function of Cdk is similar in all organisms in that it is part of the cell cycle regulation. For this reason, Cdk is often studied as targets for cancer treatment. | ||

Currently, no crystal structure for human CDK-3 had been resolved. There is only a theoretical molecular model available, based on analysis of 39 binary complexes of CDK-3:inhibitors. Data showed that 74.18% of CDK-3 structure is sequentially identical with CDK-2, thus making CDK-2 a perfect template model for CDK-3 protein. The Parmodel web server was used for comparative modeling and evaluation of protein structure, and molecular dynamics (5 ns) simulation was done with GROMACS <ref name="model">PMID: 19152876</ref>. | Currently, no crystal structure for human CDK-3 had been resolved.

Based on the molecular model, the overall structure of human CDK-3 was found to contain 305 amino acid residues, with a total molecular weight of 35,045.74 Da, and a theoretical pI of 8.86. Many features of secondary structure and molecular fork was found to very much resemble CDK-2 <ref name="model" | Based on the molecular model, the overall structure of human CDK-3 was found to contain 305 amino acid residues, with a total molecular weight of 35,045.74 Da, and a theoretical pI of 8.86.

Human CDK-3 proteins was found to have alpha and beta structures. Its fold contains two alpha and two beta domains, with a larger C-terminal that is mostly alpha helical (this is characteristic of a typical protein kinase fold). CDK-3 is found to be folded into a bilobal structure, with smaller N-terminal lobe that is mostly β-sheet structure <ref name="model" | Human CDK-3 proteins was found to have alpha and beta structures.

The N-terminal lobe is found in a sheet of 5 antiparallel β-strands (β1-β5), and in one, large alpha helix (α-1). The C-terminal domain contains pseudo-4-helical bundle (α-2 to α-3, α-6), small β-ribbon (β-6 to β-8), and 2 alpha helices (α-5, α-7) <ref name="model" | The N-terminal lobe is found in a sheet of 5 antiparallel β-strands (β1-β5), and in one, large alpha helix (α-1).

The ATP binding pocket is found in the cleft in between the bilobal structure. Most residues found in the ATP binding pocket is hydrophobic. The hydrophobic pocket can fit in different geometries of residues, like adenine derivatives and flavonoids <ref name="model" | The ATP binding pocket is found in the cleft in between the bilobal structure.
