Cyclin B/CDK1 and Cyclin A/CDK2 phosphorylate DENR to promote mitotic protein translation and faithful cell division

The cell cycle regulates translation during mitosis by controlling DENR stability. Here, the authors show the non-canonical translation initiation complex DENR·MCTS1 is phosphorylated during mitosis by CDK1 and 2, enabling the translation of genes needed for proper mitotic progression.
