Functional inactivation of the retinoblastoma protein requires sequential modification by at least two distinct cyclin-cdk complexes

AS Lundberg, RA Weinberg - Molecular and cellular biology, 1998 - Taylor & Francis
The retinoblastoma protein (pRb) acts to constrain the G1-S transition in mammalian cells.
Phosphorylation of pRb in G1 inactivates its growth-inhibitory function, allowing for cell cycle …
