Control of the Cell Cycle through control of DNA
synthesis
Cyclin dependent kinases control E2F and other
transcription factors that influence DNA
synthesis Cyclins activate cdks

SUMMARY

• Cell cycle represented by a diagram remember
  that this diagram represents cell division.
• Control of the cell cycle is mediated by cyclins
  and cyclin dependent kinases
