Inhibition of the CDK2 and Cyclin A complex leads to autophagic degradation of CDK2 in cancer cells

CDK2 can drive the proliferation of cancer cells. Here, the authors screened for a non-ATP competitive inhibitor of the CDK2/cylinA complex and find that Homoharringtonine can disrupt the complex and promote the degradation of CDK2.
