Fine tuning the cell cycle: activation of the Cdk1 inhibitory phosphorylation pathway during mitotic exit.

Abstract excerpt

Inactivation of cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) 1 promotes exit from mitosis and establishes G1. Proteolysis of cyclin B is the major known mechanism that turns off Cdk1 during mitotic exit. Here, we show that mitotic exit also activates pathways that catalyze inhibitory phosphorylation of Cdk1, a mechanism previously known to repress Cdk1 only during S and G2 phases of the cell cycle. We present evidence that...
