Progression through the eukaryotic is governed by a complex regulatory system whose central component is the cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk). The yeast cell cycle is controlled by a single Cdk called Cdk1, whereas cells employ a small family of Cdks, with Cdk1 and Cdk2 being the key players. Cdk activation requires as- sociation with a cyclin subunit, as well as phosphorylation of the Cdk subunit by the Cdk-activating kinase (CAK). The three major classes of cyclins, called G1/S, S, and M cyclins, oscillate in the cell cycle to generate a series of cyclin-Cdk complexes that are abruptly switched on at specific cell-cycle transitions. These cyclin-Cdks phosphorylate numerous substrates that trigger duplication in and mitotic spindle assembly and other preparations for chomosome segregation in . The G1 cyclins do not exhibit dramatic oscillations in proliferating cells but form constitutively active G1-Cdk complexes that help initiate the activation of G1/S- and S-Cdks. G1-Cdk activity, and thus cell-cycle entry, is responsive to cell size or mitogenic signals from outside the cell. An additional key component of the cell-cycle control system is a multisubunit ubiquitin-protein ligase called the anaphase-promoting complex or cyclosome (APC or APC/C). The APC core contains 12 to 13 subunits (not listed here), most of which have been conserved in eukaryotic evolution. APC activity requires association with activator subunits that recruit substrates to the APC. The APC is activated in early mitosis by association with Cdc20, leading to the ubiquitination and destruction of two major substrates: (1) , the destruction of which unleashes sister- separation; and (2) S- and M-cyclins, the destruction of which inactivates Cdks, allowing dephosphorylation of Cdk substrates and the completion of M phase. After anaphase, Cdc20 is replaced by Cdh1, which maintains APC activity in late mitosis and through the following G1 to the start of the next cell cycle. Abbreviations Cdk, cyclin-dependent kinase; CAK, Cdk-activating kinase; APC, anaphase-promoting complex or cyclosome.
