A network of regulations by small noncoding RNAs: the P TEFb kinase in development and pathology

Part of the heterodimeric PTEF-b element of the PolII transcription machinery, the Cdk9 kinase plays a critical role in gene expression. Phosphorylation of several residues in the polymerase is required for elongation of transcript. It determines the rates of transcription and thus, plays a critical...
