CyclinEDestructionPathway

Cyclins are proteins that associate with cyclin-dependent protein kinases to regulate their activity and the progression of the cell cycle through specific checkpoints. Disruption of cyclin action can lead to either cell cycle arrest, or to uncontrolled cell cycle proliferation. The cyclical increase and decrease in cyclin levels is a key to cell cycle regulation. When cyclin E is abundant it interacts with the cell ......阅读全文
