Passage of a cell through stages of cell cycle is controlled by a protein kinase that phosphorylates many different proteins at appropriate times.
(a) Cdk activating kinase
(b) Cyclin-dependent kinase
(c) Cyclins
(d) Tyrosine kinase
The question was asked at a job interview.
This intriguing question comes from Regulation of the Cell Cycle by Protein Kinases topic in chapter Biosignalling of Biochemistry
