Cell cycle is regulated by?

The timings of the cell cycle are controlled by cyclins (protein complexes) and cyclin-dependent kinases / CDKs (enzymes).The cyclins activate the CDKs, which affect the cell cycle at three important checkpoints:Late in the G1 stage of the cell cycle, triggering the cell to move into the S phase.Late in the G2 stage of the cell cycle, triggering the cell to move into mitosis.The M (metaphase) checkpoint, triggering entry into anaphase.
