Which proteins are major regulators of cell cycle progression?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases
Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases control transitions between phases of the cell cycle. Cyclin levels change during the cycle and activate specific kinases at the right time.
