State
Retinoblastoma protein, p53, and p21 are the cell cycle's best-understood negative regulators, acting mainly at the G1 checkpoint to block progression until conditions are satisfied.
Show
Retinoblastoma protein binds transcription factor E2F, blocking the genes a cell needs to enter S phase.
Watch for
A negative regulator's activity halts the cycle — losing it, not gaining it, allows uncontrolled division.
