This project explores the pivotal role of the cell cycle kinase complex DDK (CDC7–DBF4) in cancer biology, with a focus on pioneering new therapeutic strategies. DDK is important for DNA replication and is particularly critical in p53-deficient cancers, likely due to its involvement in managing replicative stress. Beyond its established functions, our data reveal a novel role for DDK in regulating cell migration and epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT)—key processes driving tumor progression and metastasis. The in vivo function of DDK has remained largely elusive due to past technical constraints. Leveraging our in-house degradable CDC7 mouse models, we are investigating whether targeted CDC7 inhibition can selectively impair tumor growth while preserving healthy tissue. By dissecting DDK’s dual role in tumor initiation and dissemination, this work aims to unlock innovative therapeutic pathways with transformative potential for cancer treatment.
