Inhibition of CDK12 elevates cancer cell dependence on P-TEFb by stimulation of RNA polymerase II pause release

This study shows that inhibiting CDK12 in cancer cells activates P-TEFb, leading to increased dependence on P-TEFb for transcriptional elongation and hypersensitivity to P-TEFb inhibitors.
