Lec 41 Flashcards
Unicellular eukaryotes like yeast only ask
Is the cell large enough when regulating the cell cycle
G1-cyclines regulated by
Unicellular eukaryotes
Inhibitor proteins whose amount is fixed
Regulating human cell cycle
The question is should the cell reproduce
Liver cells are in
G0 temporarily
Neurons are in
G0 permanently
Mitogens
Control cell that controls reproduction
Regulates synthesis of G1 Cyclins
Most mitogens are also
Growth factors
regulate amount and activity of ribosomes
can be positive or negative
Positive mitogen
PDGF
positive mitogen/growth factor
Blood vessel damage releases
PDGF which is a platelet cell
PDGF signals
Fibroblasts to reproduce and make collagen which repairs blood vessel damage
Platelet cell and fibroblasts signaling is
Paracrine
DNA damage
cell cycle is halted after DNA cycle by inhibiting
G1-Cdk, S-Cdk, and M-Cdk
p53
is a positive transcription factor
Regulated at the level of protein stability
p53
moderate DNA damage
turns on p21 gene
p21 gene
inhibits cyclin-Cdks
halts cell cycle
