Absorption of light causes rapid photoisomerization of the bound cis-retinal to the all-trans isomer, triggering a conformational change in opsin that activate the Gαt.

Until Mitotic CDKs is not active, the activatory protein phosphatase, Cdc25, is phosphorylated, bound and inhibited by phosphoserine/threonine-binding protein 14-3-3.

The entire process of mitotic CDKs activation and entry into mitosis involves two positive feedback loops and coordination between events at the centrosome, in the cytoplasm, and in the nucleus.

Initial pool of active cyclin B-CDK1 phosphorylates Cdc25C, this recruits Pin1 and Plk1, which recognize Cdc25C through their phospho-binding domains.
