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.
