Abstract :
Super-enhancers (genome elements that activate gene transcription) are DNA regions with an elevat-ed concentration of transcriptional complexes. These multiprotein structures contain, among other components, the cyclin-dependent kinases 8 and 19. These and other transcriptional protein kinases are regarded as novel targets for pharmacological inhibition by antitumor drug candidates.
