Cyclin-dependent kinases are the key regulators of cell-cycle transitions. In mammalian
cells, Cdk2, Cdk4, Cdk6 and associated cyclins control the G1 to S phase transition.
Because proper regulation of this transition is critical for an organism's survival, these
protein kinases are exquisitely regulated at different mechanistic levels and in response to a
large variety of intrinsic and extrinsic signals.
