Abstract

Tau protein kinase II (TPKII) was reported previously to be composed of a neuron‐rich cdc2‐related kinase (PSSALRE/cdk5) and 23 kDa subunit. Here we show that the 23 kDa subunit is a putative activator for the kinase activity. Amino acid sequence analysis revealed that the protein was novel and included a partial similarity of amino acids to a cyclin box important for the interaction with cdc2‐related kinase. These results suggest that the 23 kDa subunit, but not cyclin, activates cdk5 in neuronal cells, which no longer exhibit cell cycling but are terminally differentiated cells.
