spindle-fiber structure because this is used to divide cells; cancer is just cells dividing way too much. so if the spindle-fiber structure were to fail it could cause cancer.

Answer:

cyclin-dependent kinases

Step-by-step explanation:

The cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are critical proteins that control the progression in the cell cycle and pathways associated with cancer progression (for example, apoptosis). These proteins phosphorylate serine or threonine residues of target factors involved in gene transcription
