How are the signals in Checkpoints transfered?
Signal transduction pathways
The Check points are used to?
Whether key cellular processes have been completed correctly
What are the 3 major check points?
G 1
G 2
M Phase
If the cell doesn’t pass the G 1 check point it?
Leaves cell cycle and goes to G0 Phase
Most cells in the human body are in what ohase?
G0 Phase
What controls the pace of the cell cycle?
Rhythmatic fluctuations in the abundance and activity control the molecules for pace
The regulatory proteins in the cell cycle are?
Protein Kinases
What does the Protein Kinase do?
Activate or deactivate other proteins by phospholatin them
Protein Kinase is required to be attached to?
Cyclin to become activated
Cyclin levels rise during?
Interphase
Cyclin levels fall during?
Mitosis
What does MPF do?
Triggers the cell’s passage past G2 checkpoint to the M point
How does MPF.promote Mitosis?
By phospholating a variety of protein Kinases
MPF stimulates?
Fragmentation of the Nuclear Envelope by phosphorylation of proteins of the Nuclear Lamina
MPF also triggers the breakdown of?
Cyclin to drop cyclin and MPF levels during Mitosis to inactivate MPF
