Deskripsi

CDKs play central roles in cell cycle regulation and are normally activated by cyclins. Here the authors show that RingoA induces a cyclin-independent function of CDK2 at meiotic telomeres, which regulates their tethering to the nuclear envelope and proper synapsis of homologous chromosomes.
