Abstract excerpt

Cyclins regulate the major cell cycle transitions in eukaryotes through association with cyclin-dependent protein kinases (CDKs). In yeast, G1 cyclins are essential, rate-limiting activators of cell cycle initiation. G1-specific accumulation of one G1 cyclin, Cln2, results from periodic gene expr...
