Q

Role of cyclins in the cell cycle?

A
  • trigger next stage of cell cycle when threshold is reached, ensuring key processes
  • bind to kinases (enzymes), activating a complex ➡️ phosphorylates target protein ➡️ triggers specific functions
  • cyclins break down once phosphate is released, kinases become inactive
