progression. Despite its important role in proliferation, it remains largely unknown how AKT
is mechanistically linked to the cell cycle. We show here that cyclin F, a substrate receptor F-
box protein for the SCF (Skp1/Cul1/F-box) family of E3 ubiquitin ligases, is a bona fide AKT
substrate. Cyclin F expression oscillates throughout the cell cycle, a rare feature among the
69 human F-box proteins, and all of its known substrates are involved in proliferation. AKT …
