Background: In eukaryotic cells, the kinase activity of the mitosis-promoting complex composed of cyclin B and Cdc2 (Cdk1) is negatively regulated by the phosphorylation of Cdk1 on threonine or tyrosine residues within its ATP binding domain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
