Cyclin C was originally identified by a genetic screen for human and Drosophila cDNAs that complement a triple knock-out of the CLN genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Cyclin C is a nuclear protein present in a multiprotein complex. It interacts both in vitro and in vivo with cdk8, a novel protein-kinase of the cdk family. It is suggested that cyclin C and cdk8 control RNA polymerase II function. Human cdk8-cyclin C might be functionally associated with the mammalian transcription apparatus, perhaps involved in relaying growth-regulatory signals.
