Stabilizers and destabilizers controlling cell cycle oscillators

Mol Cell. 2006 Apr 7;22(1):1-4. doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2006.03.017.

Abstract

Various destabilizing factors of the ubiquitin system contribute to the synchrony and unidirectionality of the cell cycle clock by finely tuning the activity of various CDKs. The recent findings of hierarchical and connected waves of cyclin stabilizers highlight the complexity of this network.
