Regulation of G(1) cyclin-dependent kinases in the mammalian cell cycle

Curr Opin Cell Biol. 2000 Dec;12(6):676-84. doi: 10.1016/s0955-0674(00)00151-4.

Abstract

Cyclin-dependent kinases are the key regulators of cell-cycle transitions. In mammalian cells, Cdk2, Cdk4, Cdk6 and associated cyclins control the G(1) to S phase transition. Because proper regulation of this transition is critical for an organism's survival, these protein kinases are exquisitely regulated at different mechanistic levels and in response to a large variety of intrinsic and extrinsic signals.
