Activation of the p53 Transcriptional Program Sensitizes Cancer Cells to Cdk7 Inhibitors

Summary: Cdk7, the CDK-activating kinase and transcription factor IIH component, is a target of inhibitors that kill cancer cells by exploiting tumor-specific transcriptional dependencies. However, whereas selective inhibition of analog-sensitive (AS) Cdk7 in colon cancer-derived cells arrests divis...
