A decrease of CDK activity during neurogenic divisions enables the transactivation of proneural genes by a truncated form of Sox2 and Ngn2. Ngn2, in turn, inhibits the expression of G1 cyclins. A cell cycle inhibitor p27Kip1 stabilizes Ngn2, whereas p57Kip2 interacts with pro-neural factor Mash1 and represses its transcriptional activity. Rbl1 modulates the Notch pathway and affects the expression of its target genes. Abbreviations: NSC: neural stem cell.
