10/30: Cell-Cycle Control and Cell Division II Flashcards
Where are the checkpoint controls?
- Late G1 (start checkpoint)
- G2-M checkpoint
- Metaphase to anaphase
What 3 things does the cell-cycle checkpoint control system depend on?
- Cdks
- Cyclical proteolytic events
- Transcriptinal regulation
What are checkpoint controls designed to do?
Block progression through checkpoints if problems are sensed
Passage through start checkpoint in late G1 launches?
DNA replication and S phase of cell cycle
Where does DNA replication occur?
Specific sites or origins of replicaiton
What is the initiation phase of DNA replication divided into?
- Late mitosis-early G1
Prereplication complex assembles at the origins or replication
- Onset S phase
Prereplication complex nucleates the formation of the preinitiation complex
Cdks required the binding of what?
Cyclins
In the absence of cyclin, CDK is in what state?
Inactive
The concentration of the 3 major cyclins are
Induced
The concentrations of Cdk have what kind of expression?
Constitutie expression
What initiates the metaphase to anaphase transition?
APC/C
What catalyzes the ubiquitation and degradaon of securin and the S- and M- cyclins?
APC/C
When is APC/C turned off?
G1/S-Cdks are activated
What checkpoint ensures that all the DNA has been properly replicated?
G2-M checkpoint
What drives entry into mitosis and the events of early mitosis?
Abrupt increase in M-cdk activity at G2-M checkpoint
What does M-Cdk induce?
Assemble of the mitotic spindle, chromsome condensation, promotes breakdown of the nuclear envelope, rearrangements of the actin cytoskeleton and the golgi
What are the 5 phases of mitosis?
- prophase
- prometaphase
- metaphase
- anaphase
- telophase
What occurs during prophase?
sister chromatids condense and centromeres create poles
What occurs during prometaphase?
there is a breakdown of the nuclear envelope and chromosomes can attach to the spindle
