CDK4/6 inhibitors have received approval for treating hormone-positive breast tumors, but whether other aggressive cancers respond to these molecules is not yet clear. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Goel et al. (2016) report an unexpected activity of CDK4/6 inhibitors in reducing mTOR function and re-sensitizing HER2-positive cancers to EGFR/HER2 blockade.

D051358	Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4	Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 is a key regulator of G1 PHASE of the CELL CYCLE. It partners with CYCLIN D to phosphorylate RETINOBLASTOMA PROTEIN. CDK4 activity is inhibited by CYCLIN-DEPENDENT KINASE INHIBITOR P16.

D051361	Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 6	Cyclin-dependent kinase 6 associates with CYCLIN D and phosphorylates RETINOBLASTOMA PROTEIN during G1 PHASE of the CELL CYCLE. It helps regulate the transition to S PHASE and its kinase activity is inhibited by CYCLIN-DEPENDENT KINASE INHIBITOR P18.

D018719	Receptor, ErbB-2	A cell surface protein-tyrosine kinase receptor that is overexpressed in a variety of ADENOCARCINOMAS. It has extensive homology to and heterodimerizes with the EGF RECEPTOR, the ERBB-3 RECEPTOR, and the ERBB-4 RECEPTOR. Activation of the erbB-2 receptor occurs through heterodimer formation with a ligand-bound erbB receptor family member.
