Quantitative model of eukaryotic Cdk control through the Forkhead CONTROLLER

Abstract In budding yeast, synchronization of waves of mitotic cyclins that activate the Cdk1 kinase occur through Forkhead transcription factors. These molecules act as controllers of their sequential order and may account for the separation in time of incompatible processes. Here, a Forkhead-media...
