abstract = {Inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) has evolved
as an emerging anticancer strategy. In addition to the cell
cycle-regulating CDKs, the transcriptional kinases Cdk12 and
Cdk13 have become the focus of interest as they mediate a
variety of functions, including the transition from
transcription initiation to elongation and termination,
precursor mRNA splicing, and intronic polyadenylation. Here,
we determine the crystal structure of the small molecular
inhibitor SR-4835 bound to the Cdk12/cyclin K complex at
2.68 Å resolution. The compound’s benzimidazole moiety is
embedded in a unique hydrogen bond network mediated by the
kinase hinge region with flanking hydroxy groups of the Y815
and D819 side chains. Whereas the SR-4835 head group targets
the adenine-binding pocket, the kinase’s glycine-rich loop
is shifted down toward the activation loop. Additionally,
the αC-helix adopts an inward conformation, and the
phosphorylated T-loop threonine interacts with all three
canonical arginines, a hallmark of CDK activation that is
altered in Cdk12 and Cdk13. Dose-response inhibition
measurements with recombinant CMGC kinases show that SR-4835
is highly specific for Cdk12 and Cdk13 following a 10-fold
lower potency for Cdk10. Whereas other CDK-targeting
compounds exhibit tighter binding affinities and higher
potencies for kinase inhibition, SR-4835 can be considered a
selective transcription elongation antagonist. Our results
provide the basis for a rational improvement of SR-4835
toward Cdk12 inhibition and a gain in selectivity over other
transcription regulating CDKs.},
