temporarily in G0 phase
Quiescence
permanently in G0 phase
Senescence
Some cells lose the ability to replicate after
differentiation
concentrations vary throughout the cell cycle due to synthesis and degradation
Cyclin
- Enzymes present in constant concentrations
* Activity depends on cyclin concentration
Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK)
Occurs toward the end of growth phase 1 (G1)
Checks if cell is big enough and made the proper protein for synthesis phase
Cell growth check point/restriction pointIF NOT
cell goes through resting period until ready (G0)
occurs in metaphase, checks tension at mitotic spindle before separating in anaphase.
M checkpoint
if not ready=Apoptosis
ensures cell is ready for mitosis
G2 checkpoint
if not ready=Apoptosis
Tumor suppressor protein
Keeps cell in G1 phase (resting) by binding transcription factors
RB protein
hyperphosphorylate RB, so RB can no longer inhibit E2F
cell enters S phase
Tumor suppressor protein
stimulates synthesis of p21
p53
Stops cell cycle progression, so DNA damage can be fixed
p21 to fix
If cannot be fixed p53 induces apoptosis
mutated in 90% of skin cancers & 50% of all cancer
p53
Certain proteins made by this virus can bind RB & p53, rendering them in active
•Unregulated cell cycle progression & malignancy results
Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
CDK1 Must be ……………………….. to bind to cyclin B & stimulate cell cycle progression
dephosphorylated
