Structured_description Provisional_description cdk-9 encodes an ortholog of the metazoan transcription elongation factor kinase CDK-9; it is required for general expression of early embryonic genes, and thought (in conjunction with partners such as cyclin T) to form a transcription factor (P-TEFb) that which prevents transcription from stalling in vitro.

Heat shock genes are rendered independent of CDK-9 when not only cdk-9, but also spt-4 and spt-5 are inhibited by RNAi, implying that SPT-4/SPT-5 antagonize CDK-9 function in vivo.
CDK-9 is required for phosphorylation of the Ser-2 residue of the RNA Polymerase II C-terminal domain (CTD) repeat, but not for most CTD Ser-5 phosphorylation.
