22
Q

Describe cyclin B levels

A

levels increase before mitosis

23
Q

What causes cyclin level fluctuation

A

degradation of proteins

24
Q

Degradation of cyclins

A

ubiquitination dependant

25
Q

What are D type cyclins controlled by

A

extracellular signals - growth factors & integrin mediated ECM attachment

26
Q

Effect of growth factor removal

A

collapse of cyclin D1 levels

27
Q

What signals do cyclin Ds relay

A

messages from extracellular environment to cell cycle clock in nucleus

28

Which phases of the cell cycle are autonomous

A

after restriction point in G1

30
Q

Cdk inhibitor

31
Q

What are the checkpoints in the cell cycle

A

G1 checkpoint, G2-M checkpoint, metaphase checkpoint

32
Q

Effect of hyper-phosphorylation of E2F

A

commits cell to cell cycle

G1, entry to S phase, entry into mitosis

34
Q

DNA repair in G1

A

non-homologous end joining

35

39
Q

What prevents cell cycle progression

40
Q

What is different between embryonic cells and adult cells
