In this issue of Developmental Cell, Odajima, Wills, and colleagues (2011) demonstrate that the cell-cycle regulator, cyclin E, sequesters Cdk5, a key regulator of neuronal development and synaptic plasticity. This cell-cycle-independent function of cyclin E reveals an exciting mode of Cdk5 regulation in postmitotic neurons and offers a window into evolutionary parsimony.
在本期《发育细胞》中,Odajima、Wills 及其同事(2011)证明了细胞周期调控因子 cyclin E 可将 Cdk5 隔离,后者是神经元发育和突触可塑性的关键调控因子。cyclin E 的这种与细胞周期无关的功能揭示了 CDK5 在有丝分裂后神经元中的一种令人兴奋的调控模式,并为进化简约性提供了一个窗口。
