Combined depletion of cell cycle and transcriptional cyclin-dependent kinase activities induces apoptosis in cancer cells

D Cai, VM Latham Jr, X Zhang, GI Shapiro - Cancer research, 2006 - AACR
Selective cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) 2 inhibition is readily compensated. However,
reduced cdk2 activity may have antiproliferative effects in concert with other family members …

Tat gets the" green" light on transcription initiation

J Brady, F Kashanchi - Retrovirology, 2005 - Springer
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Tat transactivation is an essential step in the
