CDK9, the kinase of positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb), stimulates transcription elongation by phosphorylating RNA polymerase II and transcription elongation factors. Using kinetic analysis of a human P-TEFb complex consisting of CDK9 and cyclin T, we show that the CDK9 C-terminal tail sequence is important for the catalytic mechanism and imposes an ordered binding of substrates and release of products. Crystallographic analysis of a CDK9/cyclin T complex in which the C-terminal tail partially blocks the ATP binding site reveals a possible reaction intermediate. Biochemical characterization of CDK9 mutants supports a model in which the CDK9 tail cycles through different conformational states. We propose that this mechanism is critical for the pattern of CTD Ser2 phosphorylation on actively transcribed genes. ► The CDK9 C-terminal tail is important for the catalytic mechanism ► CDK9 phosphorylates the CTD in a nonprocessive manner ► The CDK9 tail folds over the ATP binding site during the catalytic cycle CDK9 kinase stimulates transcription elongation and is a drug target for cancer therapy. Baumli et al. describe the conformational states of CDK9 as it places multiple phosphorylations on substrates. The observed mechanism is critical for the phosphorylation pattern that is generated on actively transcribed genes.
