25
CDK is also active when bound to what?
second polypeptide cyclin
26
do CDK or cyclin concentrations rise and fall with onset of mitosis
cyclin
27
each CDK-cyclin complex is only active when/
specific stage of CDC
28
3 requirements for CDK to be active:
1. needs cyclin 2. need inhibitory phosphates by Wee1 removed by Cdc25 3. needs activating phosphate from CAK
29
function of Cdk1
promotes mitosis (acts in late G2) by phosphorylating laminate proteins so nuclear envelope can break down - also phosphorylates other proteins to regulate mitotic spindle assembly
30
true or false: all cells have only a single cycling and a single CDK
false
31
true or false: the transition between cycle phases are sharp and irreversible
true
32
Wee1 kinase
adds inhibitory phosphates to specific tyrosine and threonine residues of Cdk subunit
33
what are inhibitory phosphates removed by
Cdc25 family of phosphatases
34
CDK-activating kinase
phosphorylates threonine residue to activate Cdk
35
2 mains families of cyclin kinase inhibitors
- p16 - Cip/Kip (like p27)
36
p16
CKI interacts with CDK subunit to prevent cyclin association
37
Cip/Kip
binds/inhibits CDK-cycling complexes
38
how is regulation of CDK accomplished
- CKIs - inhibitory phosphates - segregating into different regions - periodic availability of cyclins
39
what does cyclin B1 have
NES, cytoplasmic retention signal
40
after use, what happens to cyclins
become highly. unstable and are irreversibly destroyed
41
what is responsible for abrupt instability of cyclins
activation of specific ligase complexes
42
ubiquitin ligase E3
covalently attaches multi-ubiquitin chain, marking cyclin for degradation by proteasome
43
Ub ligase E3 composition
- Ub-activating E1 - Ub-conjugated E2
44
how do Cdks program own inactivation?
activate cyclin uniquing ligases that lead to cyclin destruction - feed-forward control
45
if cells don't receive signal to divide, what happens
enter quiescence (G0) state
46
can cells get out of quiescence
yes
47
can cells get out of senescence
no
48
when do cells become irreversibly committed to cell cycle
late in G1
49
point when yeast become committed to cell division
START
50
point when multicellular eukaryotes become committed to cell division
restriction point
51
extracellular factor that stimulates apoptosis
tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-a)
52
reentry into cell cycle is primarily by what?
ubiquitin-mediated destruction of CKIs to relieve inhibition of G1 CDK-cyclin complexes
53
growth factors
class of peptides and hormones that stimulate proliferation
54
platelet-derived growth factor
growth factor released by platelets upon blood clotting, contributes to rapid cell proliferation required for wound healing
55
early response genes
expressed very quickly after serum addition - activate delayed early response genes
56
what is cyclin D an example of
delayed early response gene
57
how are CDKs with their cyclins able to get through the restriction point
by phosphorylating tumor suppressor Rb (retinoblastoma)
58
what happens when Rb is unphosphorylated
it is bound and inhibiting the transcription factor E2F
59
what initially phosphorylates Rb
cyclin D in complex with either Cdk 4 or 6
60
what happens when Rb is phosphorylated
dissociates from E2F, E2F stimulates its own expression and expression of other genes such as cyclin E
61
what also phosphorylates Rb
Cdk2-cyclin E
62
autonomously replicating sequences
DNA sequences in yeast that are able to replicate independently of the context of a chromosome - part of origins of replication in yeast
63
characteristics of origin region in some organisms
- small consensus sequences - A/T-rich regions
64
organisms with more than one chromosome usually have how many OR per chromosome?
multiple
65
issues with have multiple origins of replication
1. firing origins only during S phase 2. making sure certain replication complete before mitosis 3. firing each origin only once
66
which origins are activated in early S phase
actively transcribed genes, euchromatin
67
which origins are activated in late S phase
non-tcr genes, constitutive heterochromatin
68
prior to replication initiation, what must be assembled on origin?
pre-replication complex
69
steps of pre-replication complex formation
1. origin recognition complex binds 2. Cdc6 and Cdt1 bind 3. MCM binds 4. ORC and Cdc6 not needed
70
when does assembly of pre-RC take place
end of M to beginning of S (G1)
71
why is the pre-RC only in G1
- Cdc6 only available during G1 - Cdt1 negatively regulated by geminin, no activity outside of G1 window
72
what is Cdt1 negatively regulated by
geminin
73
which parts of the pre-RC are AAA+ ATPases
- Cdc 6 - MCM
74
what does MCM stand for
minichromosome maintenance complex
75
how is pre-RC assembly restricted by mitotic CDK-cyclin activity
- CDK phosphorylation of Cdc6 inactivates it - CDK phosphorylation of MCM removes it from the DNA (S phase)
76
what 2 kinases help cells transition from pre-replicative to replicative states
1. CDK-cyclin - prevents pre-RC assembly 2. Dbf4-dependent kinase - initiates DNA synthesis, phosphorylates MCM to change structure and allow initiation
77
rate-limiting step for replication
binding of Cdc45
78
what does Cdc45 depend on
CDK-cyclin and DDK activity
79
what results in the unwinding of DNA
binding of Cdc45 + GINS
80
what role does Cdk2-cyclin A have
works with DDK to phosphorylate and activate Cdc45+GINS
81
what does Cdc45+GINS do
activates MCM to convert it from an assembly factor to a helicase (remains part of elongation complex)
82
when ssDNA is exposed, what happens?
ssDNA bp and RPA bind, then loading of primase/DNA pol a complex
83
what is DNA pol a replaced with
DNA pol S
84
what happens to MCM as S phase proceeds
dislodged from chromatin (likely by Cdk-cyclins)
85
when is cohesin added
S phase
