Abstract

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), which play a key role in cell cycle control, are activated by the CDK-activating kinase (CAK), which activates cyclin-bound CDKs by phosphorylation at the specific threonine residue. Mammalian CAK contains three components: CDK7, cyclin H, and an assembly factor called MAT1. The CDK7-cyclin H-MAT1 complex is tightly associated with a multiprotein complex TFIIH, which plays a dual role in transcription and DNA repair. Here, we have determined chromosomal localizations of the human genes encoding cyclin H (CCNH) and MAT1 (HGMW-approved symbol MNAT1) to chromosome bands 5q13.3-q14 and 14q23, respectively, by using fluorescence in situ hybridization, somatic cell hybrid analyses, and mapping to the human YAC contigs.
