CDK-Independent and PCNA-Dependent Functions of p21 in DNA Replication

p21<sup>Waf/CIP1</sup> is a small unstructured protein that binds and inactivates cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). To this end, p21 levels increase following the activation of the p53 tumor suppressor. CDK inhibition by p21 triggers cell-cycle arrest in the G1 and G2 phases of the cell c...
