Cells cycle regulation

Conformational changes in a protein kinase are important for cell cycle regulation... 

The ankyrin repeat motif is one of the most common protein-protein interaction domains. Ankyrin repeats are modules of about 33 amino acids repeated in tandem. They are found in a large number of proteins with diverse cellular functions such as transcriptional regulators, signal transducers, cell-cycle regulators, and cytoskeletal proteins. 

Cell Cycle Control. Figure 1 Cell cycle regulation by Cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs). Different cyclins bound to different CDKs promote the transition from one cell cycle phase into another. CDK-dependent phosphorylation of Rb is required to release active E2F transcription factors, which promotes entry into S phase. 

Cell Cycle Regulation by Ubiqnitin-Mediated Protein Degradation... 

In concordance with the central role of ubiquitin modification in multiple cellular functions perturbations of this system are associated with a variety of diseases. Defects in the control of cell cycle regulators by the ubiquitin proteasome system are connected to cancer progression and many E3 ligases were originally identified as oncogenes.
