Regulation of cell cycle checkpoint control. Mitogenic signals converge at the level of cyclin D1 upregulation and CDK4/6 association, localization, and kinase activity. CDK4/6 phosphorylates and inactivates RB tumor suppressor proteins, leading to dissociation of E2F transcription factors and transcriptional regulation of genes important for G1/S transition and cell cycle progression through the restriction point (lightning bolt).
