A

cyclins drove the cell cycle

129
Q

What is the current viewpoint of cycline? Where is this talked about?

A

Cdk itself is also controlled by phosphorylation (( talks about the discovery of M cyclin-CDK complex)

130
Q

What was Johnson and Rao’s experiment?

A

They fused human HeLa cells at different stages of the cell cycle. Cell fusion produces a single cell with two separate nuclei. The researchers allowed the fused cells to grow and determined whether one nucleus influenced the other in terms of progression through
the cell cycle

131
Q

What were the results of Johnson and Rao’s experiment?

A

DNA synthesis quickly began in the original G1 nucleus. Normally, the G1 nucleus would
not have initiated DNA synthesis until it reached S phase itself, which could have been several
hours later. The result suggested that one or more Molecules that activate S phase are present
in the cytoplasm of S phase cells

found cyclins and cdks (groundwork for, didn’t know what they were but discovered their affects)
