Cyclin D is chiefly associated with progression through

  • A.anaphase and chromatid separation
  • B.G1 towards the restriction point
  • C.S phase and DNA replication
  • D.G2 and entry into mitosis

Answer: B

Correct answer: G1 towards the restriction point

Cyclin D is the sensor of growth factor signalling: its level tracks the mitogenic environment, and with its kinase partners it phosphorylates the retinoblastoma protein, releasing E2F and committing the cell past the restriction point into S phase. Because it links external signals to that commitment, it is one of the most frequently deregulated components in cancer.
