Abstract
One of the emerging concepts in the cell cycle field is that progress through the cycle is determined at discrete points, called checkpoints, by a family of closely related protein kinases. This family has been christened the ‘cyclin-dependent kinases’ (CDKS), because they are only activated upon binding a member of the cyclin family. Cyclins appear to be required both to activate and to target their protein kinase partner to particular subcellular compartments. I have been attempting to define which part of the cyclin is responsible for its targetting function.
