CLP-1 expression in developing heart and isolated post-natal cardiomyocytes colocalizes with P-TEFb expression and therefore has the potential to regulate RNA transcript elongation by controlling P-TEFb cdk9 kinase activity in heart. We further conclude that the dissociation of CLP-1 from P-TEFb is responsive to hypertrophic stimuli transduced by cellular signal transduction pathways. This process may be part of the genomic stress response resulting in increased RNA transcript synthesis in hypertrophic cardiomyocytes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
