CDK5 Gene Editing    

CDK5 (cyclin-dependent kinase 5) is a member of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) family and has a basic structure and a highly conserved sequence in which the catalytic site of ATP binding is sandwiched between the apical and temporal ends. Unlike other CDKs, CDK5 is normally activated by binding to the non-cyclin CDK5 activators CDK5R1 (P35) and Cdk5R2 (P39) or their respective truncated p25 and p29. CDK5 activators are predominant in neurons, which makes CDK5 a neuron-specific CDK. CDK5-P35 plays a key role in brain development and physiological synaptic activity. In the diseased brain, tau is hyperphosphorylated by CDK5-P25, but the mechanism is still not fully understood. CDK5 activity is dysregulated in several neurological diseases leading, such as Alz Hermoside disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease.

CDK5 is involved in invasive cancer by reducing the activity of the actin regulatory protein calmodulin-binding protein and involved in cell cycle regulation through CCNI2, a novel CDK5 activator. More and more studies have shown that CDK5 is involved in other biological processes besides neural activity, such as gene expression, cell migration, apoptosis, myogenesis, etc.; and pathological processes including cancer, aging, diabetes, immune dysfunction, and inflammation.
