More | the enzyme Ctk3 consists of a N-terminal CTD-interacting domain (CID) and a C-terminal three helix bundle domain. The structure reveals eight helices arranged into a right-handed superhelical fold. Ctk3 shows no binding to CTD peptides. Structure and function of the CTDK-I complex, overview. Ctk1 (Lsk1) associates with its cyclin partner Ctk2 (Lsc1) and a third subunit, Ctk3 (Lsg1), to form the CTD kinase I (CTDK-I) complex. This trimeric structure is unique amongst CDK complexes. The Ctk3 N-terminal domain has a noncanonical surface | Schizosaccharomyces pombe |

physiological function | CTDK-I is a yeast kinase complex that phosphorylates the C-terminal repeat domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) to promote transcription elongation. CTDK-I contains the cyclin-dependent kinase Ctk1 (homologous to human CDK9/CDK12), the cyclin Ctk2 (human cyclin K), and the yeast-specific subunit Ctk3, which is required for CTDK-I stability and activity | Schizosaccharomyces pombe |
