Cdk1 activity acts as a quantitative platform for coordinating cell cycle progression with periodic transcription

Cell proliferation is regulated by cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) and relies on periodic gene cluster expression according to cell cycle phases. Here the authors use a synthetic regulatable Cdk1 module to demonstrate that periodic expression is governed by quantitative changes in Cdk1 activity.
