basic FUNCTION	CDK-activating kinase 1, linking transcription and the cell-cyle machinery
	functions as a master cell cycle regulator by phosphorylating cyclin-dependent kinases for cell cycle progression
	having a putative role in oxidative stress
	submodule of TFIIH acting as a physiological roadblock to adipogenesis by inhibiting PPARgamma activity
	ELL and CDK7 play essential yet distinct roles during transcription-coupled repair (TCR)

CELLULAR PROCESS	cell cycle, progression
	cell life, proliferation/growth
	nucleotide, repair
	nucleotide, transcription, initiation

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

text	cell cycle control

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component	component of the multisubunit complex TFIIH (GTF2H)
	component of an aternary complex with CCNH and MNAT1 (see symbols)
	trimeric CDK7/cyclin H/MNAT1 complex functions in cell cycle regulation, as the Cdk-activating kinase, and in transcription, as a module of the general transcription factor TFIIH )

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	activating POLR2A, when complexed and associated with GTF2H
	phosphorylating CDK2 and CDC2
	PRKCI associates with CDK7
	CDK7 thus acts through GTF2E1, GTF2E2 and SUPT5H to establish, and through CDK9 to relieve, barriers to elongation
