title: Cell cycle: reaching for a role for the Cks proteins.
abstract: The Cks proteins are essential components of the cyclin-dependent protein kinases that regulate mitosis in all eukaryotes, but their precise function remains obscure. The crystal structures of several Cks proteins offer insights into their roles during the cell cycle.
