 Cyclin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cyclins are a family of proteins involved in the progression of cells through the cell cycle.
A cyclin forms a complex with the cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk), which activates the latter's protein kinase function.
Cyclins are so named because their concentration varies in a cyclical fashion during the cell cycle; they are produced or degraded as needed in order to drive the cell through the different stages of the cell cycle.

 Proteolytic Cleavage of Cyclin E Leads to Inactivation of Associated Kinase Activity and Amplification of Apoptosis in ...
The full-length cyclin E, which is 50 kDa and is found predominantly in both normal and tumor cells, is the EL form (i.e., the 15-amino-acid elongated variant of cyclin E [46, 49]).
Cdk2 interacts with most of the cyclin box and the C terminus of cyclin E (amino acid residues 131 to 395); the entire N terminus and partial cyclin box of cyclin E (amino acid residues 1 to 127) are responsible for p21 and p27 binding (5).
Turnover of cyclin E by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is regulated by cdk2 binding and cyclin phosphorylation.

Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases are critically involved in control of cell cycle progression and presumably in proliferative events due to phlogistic challenge.
Two types of cyclins, A and B, are known to be involved in the normal regulation of mitosis (M-phase cyclins).
Cyclin B mRNA was overexpressed in the 2 biopsies with extracapillary proliferation, while cyclin D1 gene expression, highly dependent on PDGF, was detected at high amounts in 4 samples showing some degree of mesangial proliferation.

Cyclins are eukaryotic proteins that play an active role in controlling nuclear cell division cycles PUBMED:12910258, and regulate cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs).
G2/M cyclins accumulate steadily during G2 and are abruptly destroyed as cells exit from mitosis (at the end of the M-phase).
Cyclins contain two domains of similar all-alpha fold, of which this entry is associated with the N-terminal domain.

RNA encoding cyclin E alone or with cdk2, cyclin A2 alone or with cdk2, or cdk2 alone were injected into fertilised eggs and allowed to develop until stage 8.
RNAs encoding cyclin E1 alone (A) or cyclin E1 with cdk2 (D), cyclin A2 alone (B) or cyclin A2 with cdk2 (E), cdk2 alone (C) or ß-gal as a control (F) were injected into one cell of a 2-cell embryo and allowed to develop to stage 8.5.
Cyclin E controls S phase progression and its down-regulation during Drosophila embryogenesis is required for the arrest of cell proliferation.

Although cyclin A or cyclin E bind only the amino terminus, two distinct cyclin-binding motifs [Cy1 and Cy2 (87)], which bind cyclin E/Cdk2 or cyclin A/Cdk2 complexes are indicated.
Cyclin D1 can bind to the amino terminus, either alone or in the presence of Cdk4 and binds independently of the K region (87).
The cyclin D1/Cdk4 holoenzyme is phosphorylated by a Cdk-activating kinase (475) (CAK), which consists of several subunits.
