  Domain Name: STKc_CDK8
Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine Kinase, Cyclin-Dependent protein Kinase 8. Serine/Threonine Kinases (STKs), Cyclin-Dependent protein Kinase 8 (CDK8) subfamily, catalytic (c) domain. STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. The CDK8 subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other protein STKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase. CDKs belong to a large family of STKs that are regulated by their cognate cyclins. Together, they are involved in the control of cell-cycle progression, transcription, and neuronal function. CDK8 can act as a negative or positive regulator of transcription, depending on the scenario. Together with its regulator, cyclin C, it reversibly associates with the multi-subunit core Mediator complex, a cofactor that is involved in regulating RNA polymerase II (RNAP II)-dependent transcription. CDK8 phosphorylates cyclin H, a subunit of the general transcription factor TFIIH, which results in the inhibition of TFIIH-dependent phosphorylation of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNAP II, facilitating the inhibition of transcription. It has also been shown to promote transcription by a mechanism that is likely to involve RNAP II phosphorylation. CDK8 also functions as a stimulus-specific positive coregulator of p53 transcriptional responses.

Tips:
 If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position.

 The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs.

 Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below.
