Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) drive progression through the cell cycle, triggering essential events such as DNA replication and chromosome segregation. Note that CDK activation requires the binding of cyclins.
G1 cyclins also called cyclin D. Cyclin D along with CDK drive cells through to the G1-S transition

Cdc2 and cyclins play a key role in the control of the G2/M transition of the cell cycle in yeast. Cdc 2 isCdk1, the first cyclin-dependent protein kinase in vertebrates.554-2493_Cell_cycle_and_CDK.jpg
