The Cip/Kip family members bind to cyclin-bound CDKs and block the activity of cyclin D-, E-, A-, and B-containing complexes.

Cyclins are degraded through the action of two different E3-ligases:

1. SCF (Skp1, Cullin, and F-box proteins) 

2. APC/C or cyclosome

SCF and APC/C are multisubunit ubiquitin-protein ligases that belong to the RING finger family of ubiquitin-protein ligases.

Human SCF complexes contain: 

Three core components - Cul1 subunit, RBX1, Skp1 

and a substrate-targeting F-box protein

RBX1 is a RING finger–containing protein that binds the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme.

phosphoserine/threonine-binding F-box protein is Skp2, which uses a series of leucine-rich repeats to bind to target proteins only when they are phosphorylated.
