Principles of CDK regulation

Nature. 1995 Mar 9;374(6518):131-4. doi: 10.1038/374131a0.

Abstract

As key regulators of the cell cycle, the cyclin-dependent kinases must be tightly regulated by extra- and intracellular signals. The activity of cyclin-dependent kinases is controlled by four highly conserved biochemical mechanisms, forming a web of regulatory pathways unmatched in its elegance and intricacy.
