A new consensus for evaluating CDKL5/STK9-dependent signalling mechanisms

Mutation or inactivation of CDKL5 kinase is associated with a human neurodevelopmental condition commonly referred to as CDKL5 deficiency disorder.§ Two recent phosphoproteomics studies identify the first physiological substrates of mammalian CDKL5 and evaluate functional consequences of their phosphorylation and its loss in cells lacking functional CDKL5, highlighting potential roles for this kinase in regulating neuronal microtubule dynamics.
