Plants have capability to optimize its architecture by using CDK pathways. It involves diverse types of cyclin dependent kinase enzymes (CDKs). CDKs are classified in to eight classes (CDKA to CDKG and CKL) based on the recognized cyclin-binding domains. These enzymes require specific cyclin proteins to get activated. They form complex with cyclin subunits and phosphorylate key target proteins. Phosphorylation of these target proteins is essential to drive cell cycle further from one phase to another phase. During cell division, the activity of cyclin dependent kinase is controlled by CDK interactor/inhibitor of CDKs (ICK) and Kip-related proteins (KRPs). They bind with specific CDK/cyclin complex and help in controlling CDKs activity. Since cell cycle can be progressed further only by synthesis and destruction of cyclins, they are quickly degraded using ubiquitination-proteasome pathway. Ubiquitylation reaction is followed by DNA duplication and cell division process. These two processes are regulated by two complexes known as Skp1/cullin/F-box (SCF)-related complex and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C). SCF allows cell to enter from G1 to S phase and APC/C allows cell to enter from G2 to M phase. When all these above processes of cell division are going on, genes of cyclin dependent kinases gets activated one by one simultaneously and help in regulation of CDK pathways. How cell cycle is regulated by CDKs is discussed.
