Abstract excerpt
Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CKIs) are major contributors to the decision to enter or exit the cell cycle. The Caenorhabditis elegans genome encodes two CKIs belonging to the Cip/Kip family, cki-1 and cki-2. cki-1 has been shown to act as a canonical negative regulator of cell cycle entry, while the role of cki-2 remains unclear. We identified cki-2 in a genome-wide RNAi screen to reveal genes essential...
