KIP1. Although the amount and subcellular localization of p27 influence Cdk2 activity, how
Cdk2 activity is regulated during this phase transition still remains virtually unknown. Here
we report an entirely new mechanism for this regulation. Cdc6 the AAA+ ATPase, known to
assemble prereplicative complexes on chromosomal replication origins and activate p21
CIP1-bound Cdk2, also activated p27-bound Cdk2 in its ATPase and cyclin binding motif …
