A kinase-independent role for CDK8 in BCR-ABL1+ leukemia
Cyclin-dependent kinases are deregulated in blood cancers. Here, the authors show that CDK8, independent of its kinase activity, regulates mTOR signalling for the maintenance of BCR-ABL1+ leukemia, and that the dual inhibition of CDK8 and mTOR signalling induces apoptosis in these cells.
