Mo15, DmMO15, DmCdk7
a Cdk-activating kinase and general transcription factor - activity depends on the regulatory CycH and Mat1 subunits - this trimeric Cdk complex activates other Cdks by phosphorylation in their T-loop and is called Cdk activating kinase (CAK) - CAK can be part of TFIIH, where Cdk7 phosphorylates different transcription substrates (e.g. CTD of Pol II)

Please Note FlyBase no longer curates genomic clone accessions so this list may not be complete
Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.

DNA-protein interactions: genome-wide binding profile assayed for Cdk7 protein in Kc167 cells; see Chromatin_types_NKI collection report. Individual protein-binding experiments listed under "Samples" at GEO_GSE22069 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE22069).
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
Cdk7 probably has a role in the control of the transcriptional machinery.
Cdk7 is involved in transcriptional control in the embryo and in the larvae.
