title: The mammalian cdc2 protein kinase: mechanisms of regulation during the cell cycle.
abstract: Recent experimental evidence has demonstrated the central role of the cdc2 protein kinase in the transition from G2 to M phase in eukaryotic cells. We shall review our knowledge of the mechanisms which coordinate activation of the kinase with cell cycle-specific events in mammalian cells.
