Which protein combines with cyclins to exert local control of the cell cycle?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) combine with cyclins to exert local control of the cell cycle. CDKs are enzymes that drive cell cycle events by phosphorylating target proteins. Cyclin binding to CDK activates its kinase activity, allowing it to phosphorylate target proteins and carry out cell cycle events such as DNA replication and the transition from one phase of the cell cycle to the next.
