Question 21

As soon as the M cyclin–Cdk complex is formed, it is _ by an _ called _. This modification keeps M-Cdk in an _ state until these phosphates are removed by an _ called _.
!!!!mechanism specific to M-Cdks!!!!!

_
Wee1
_
inactive
_

Question 22

The activity of a Cdk can be blocked by the _

Answer 22

binding of a Cdk inhibitor. eg: inhibitor protein (called p27) binds to an activated cyclin–Cdk complex = prevents the Cdk from phosphorylating target proteins

DNA damage

Answer 23

INHIBITION OF ACTIVATING PHOSPHATASE (Cdc25) BLOCKS ENTRY TO MITOSIS

Question 24

control mechanism when chromosomes not properly attached to spindle

Answer 24

INHIBITION OF APC/C ACTIVATION DELAYS EXIT FROM MITOSIS

Question 25

control mechanism when

Answer 26

stimulate cell proliferation

Question 27

Question 28

dephosphorylated Rb protein (active), what do they do?

Answer 28

holds specific transcription regulators in an inactive state.

Question 29

Mitogens binding to _ activate _
that lead to the _. These complexes _, and thereby inactivate, the _ protein, releasing the transcription regulators needed to activate the transcription of genes required for entry into S phase.

Answer 29

cell-surface receptors
_
intracellular signaling pathways
_
formation and activation of G1-Cdk and G1/S-Cdk complexes
_
phosphorylate
_
Rb

Question 30

DNA damage can arrest the cell cycle in _.

Answer 30

G1

Question 31

When DNA is damaged, specific protein kinases respond by both activating the _ and halting _. _ protein thus accumulates and stimulates the _. The p21 protein binds to G1/S-Cdk and S-Cdk and inactivates them, so that the cell cycle arrests in G1.

Answer 31

p53 protein
_
its otherwise rapid degradation
_
Activated p53
_
transcription of the gene that encodes the Cdk inhibitor protein p21 (same shape and system as p27)
_

Question 32

explain the initiation of DNA replication (fig 16)

Answer 32

During G1, Cdc6 on ORC (origin recognition complex sitting on origin)
_
HELICASE BINDS, Cdc6 DISSOCIATES from ORC
_
At the start of S, S-Cdk triggers the firing of this loaded replication origin
_
S-Cdk also blocks re-replication by phosphorylating Cdc6 and the ORC = both inactive = prevents reassembly of the prereplicative complex until the Cdks are turned off in the next G1.

Question 33

Activated M-Cdk indirectly activates _, creating a _

Answer 33

more M-Cdk

_
blocks
_

_
mitotic spindle to pull the sister chromatids apart

Question 36

(A) In anaphase A, _ The force driving this movement is generated mainly at the _.

Answer 36

Question 37

(B) In anaphase B, _ as the result of two separate forces: (1) _, and (2) _

_
the action of motor proteins associated with the microtubules.
