The Cell Cycle
The Cell Cycle Control System
Cell Cycle Control Molecules Cyclin-Dependent Kinases (Cdks) Maturation promotion factor (MPF) Anaphase-promoting complex (APC) Rb Protein
Cdks Remember: Phosphorylation/dephosphorylation are commonly used for regulation of protein (enzyme) activity Cdks: kinases that are only active when bound to a protein from the cyclin family Several dozen cyclins have been discovered Their concentrations within a cell increase and decrease throughout the cell cycle
