Abstract

Deregulation of the cell cycle is one of the first events during malignant transformations that convert normal cells into tumor cells. Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key elements of the mammalian genome surveillance machinery that controls the cell cycle. Their activity (which is normally regulated via cyclin binding, phosphorylation events and interactions with endogenous inhibitors of CDKs, CKIs) is frequently altered in human cancers. Therefore, strenuous efforts are being made to develop means to counter cell cycle malfunctions using pharmacological inhibitors of CDKs.
