Q

Process of the checkpoint:

A
  1. the cell recognized the proper Go-Signal
  2. the “continue signal” was released
  3. the cell crossed the G1/S checkpoint
  4. the cell advanced to the S phase

Q

Checkpoint sensor process

A
  1. sensor searches for errors
  2. activated checkpoint recruits repair enzymes
  3. after repairing the error, the “continue signal” is released
  4. cell passes the checkpoint and advances to next phase

Q

What is the second checkpoint?

A

G2/M phase

17
Q

G2/M phase

A

-Verifies the accuracy of DNA replication during the S phase
-Instructs the cell to advance to the G2 phase
-DNA damage checkpoint

18
Q

What is the third checkpoint?

A

M phase (spindle)

19
Q

M phase (spindle) checkpoint

A

-Controls the metaphase to anaphase transition during mitosis
-Ensures all chromosomes are attached to the spindle before the adult stem cell can complete mitotic cell division

20
Q

What does the M phase checkpoint prevent?

A

Prevents Aneuploidy in each daughter cell

21
Q

What are the regulatory molecules that control cell cycle progression?

A

-Cyclin proteins
-Cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs)

22
Q

After each checkpoint is crossed…

A

The cyclin proteins and CDKs enable the cell to advance to the next cell cycle phase

23
Q

How is CDK activated?

A

Cyclin binds to the CDK

24
Q

What enables the cell to pass the G1/S checkpoint and enter S phase?

A

Active CDK

25
Q

MPF

A

Mitosis promoting factor

26
Q

MPF enables…

A

Cell entry into the M phase by phosphorylation and other regulatory proteins

27
Q

________ degrade proteins marked for destruction

A

Proteasomes

28
Q

How many proteasomes in each cell?

A

30,000-50,000

29
Q

What happens to cyclin proteins after the adult stem cell advances to the next cell cycle phase?

A

Cyclin proteins must be degraded

30
Q

What protein is attached to the cyclin proteins?

A

Ubiquitin

31
Q

Proteasomes degrade what and release what?

A

Proteasomes degrade the marked cyclin proteins and release the amino acids

32
Q

_______ proteasomes that can’t degrade cyclin increase cancer risk

A

Defective proteasomes

33
Q

Defective cell cycle regulation has…

A

Medical consequences
-Abnormal growth
-Benign tumors, malignant tumors
-Immune system dysfunction
