Q

which processes determines which cyclin-cdk complex is active at any time

A

synthesis and degradation

22
Q

cdks are activated by which enzyme

A

cdk activating kinase (CAK)

23
Q

cyclin is absolute required for cdk activity by exposing the _____, once it is exposed, cak can phosphorylate cdk to further activate it

A

t loop

24
Q

which enzyme reverse the effects of cyclin cdks by removing phosphorylation from proteins

A

protein phosphatases (PP2As)

25
Q

t/f pp2as usually have the same targets as cyclin-cdks

A

true - pp2a and m-cdk participate in a complex feedback loop

26
Q

m-cdk and pp2a compete for the same targets, compare what happens before M phase and what happens during M phase

A

Before M-phase
-PP2A is active
-PP2A dephosphorylates
- M-Cdk targets to stop progression into mitosis
During M-phase
-M-cyclin is produced
-M-Cdk is active
-M-Cdk indirectly inhibits PP2A activity
- M-cyclin phosphorylates its targets to promote mitosis progression

27
Q

cdk inhibitor proteins (ckis) bind cyclin-cdks and 2 examples

A

ckis disrupt the cyclin-cdk interaction, which inactivates the cdk (cki like a clamp to block active site and distort atp binding site)
examples: p27, p21

28
Q

t/f the inhibitory phosphorylation is at a different site from the activating phosphate added by cak

A

true

29
Q

what are the functions of wee1 kinase, cdc25 phosphatase

A

wee1 kinase: adds inhibitory phosphorylation
cdc25 phosphatase: can remove the inhibitory phosphorylation

30
Q

which two enzymes have opposite effects in regards to cyclin cdks

A

wee1 kinase (inhibits) vs cdc25 phosphatase (removes the inhibitory phosphorylation = activates)

31
Q

Cdc25 phosphatase can remove the inhibitory phosphorylation on M-Cdk and must be phosphorylated/dephosphorylated to be active

A

phosphorylated

32
Q

positive/negative feedback loops ensure robust cyclin cdk activation

A

positive

33
Q

name an example of active m-cdk activates its activators

A

cdc25 phosphorylation

34
Q

name 2 examples of active m-cdk inhibiting its inhibitors

A
  • pp2a phosphatase inactivation
  • wee1 kinase phosphorylation
35
Q

describe wee1 phosphorylation and what is it an example of

A

its an example of active m-cdk inhibiting its inhibitors. wee1 phosphorylation = inactive = more inhibitory phosphate = more active m-cdk (+ feedback)

36
Q

what type of feedback creates an all or nothing choice to proceed

A

positive feedback

37
Q

How many of the following statements about the cell cycle are TRUE?
* During cell growth, all molecules in the cell are produced together over
the same time period.
* Different cell cycle stages can be directed by the same Cdks.
* Different cell cycle stages can be directed by the same Cyclins.
* Active and inactive Cdks can have a phosphate group at the Cdk-
activating kinase phosphorylation site.
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4

A

B.
statement 1 is wrong bc you can make and degrade diff cyclins. statement 4 is wrong bc of inhibitory

38
Q

what are examples of molecular inputs that regulate cyclin-cdk activity

A

mitogens/growth factors

39
Q

____ is transcription factor req for s-phase gene expression

A

e2f

40

41
Q

mitogens trigger production of the cell cycle control protein ____

A

myc

42
Q

are mitogens ec or ir signaling molecules

A

ec

43
Q

mitogens activate a signalling pathways including: ? (3)

A

rtk, ras, map kinase cascade

44

activation of rtk, ras, map kinase cascade leads to upregulation expression of ____

A

myc

45
Q

myc is a key TF involved in _________ control

A

cell cycle

46
Q

explain how myc activates g1-cdk which inhibit rb

A
  1. Myc activates G1-cyclin gene expression
  2. G1-Cdk phosphorylates Rb
  3. Phosphorylated Rb releases E2F
  4. E2F activates expression of S-phase genes
47
Q

list 2 examples of positive feedback regarding myc activation

A
  • e2f autoactivation
  • g1/s-cdk and s-cdk phosphorylation of rb
48
Q

dna damage blocks cell cycle progression via _______ and induces ___ TF activation

A

cki synthesis, p53

49
Q

p53 activates ____ expression which is a cki that inhibits g1/s-cdk and s cdk

A

p21

50
Q

what is p21 activation caused by (2 upstream steps)

A

dna damage induces p53 TF activation where p53 activates p21

51
Q

Which of following will mimic the effects of a Cdk inhibitor?
a) Cyclin overexpression
b) p27 downregulation
c) M-cyclin polyubiquitylation
d) Cdc25 phosphatase activity
