The mechanisms that control cell growth during the cell cycle are poorly understood. In budding yeast, cyclin dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1) triggers polarization of the actin cytoskeleton and bud ...
Maturation/M-phase-promoting factor is the universal inducer of M-phase in eukaryotic cells. It is currently accepted that M-phase-promoting factor is identical to the kinase cyclin B–Cdk1. Here we ...
A protein called CDC7, long thought to play an essential role early in the cell division process, is in fact replaceable by another protein called CDK1, according to a study by investigators at Weill ...
Somatic mammalian cells possess well-established S-phase programs with specific regions of the genome replicated at precise times. The ATR-Chk1 pathway plays a central role in these programs, but the ...
Women who have eggs that cannot mature will not become pregnant, and they cannot be helped by in vitro fertilization (IVF). Now researchers have identified a molecule called Cdk1 that has an important ...
Blocking a gene involved with cellular division and replication could provide clues in understanding how to target the most common mutation found in cancer, a new study shows. Scientists at The ...
