Cell cycle and its checkpoints
What happens at the restriction point (R)
if growth factors are limiting restriction occurs
2hours before
many diff growth factors
what happens at the G1 checkpoint?
timing sim to restrcition point (2 hr)
occurs in response to DNA damage
what is checked at the G2 checkpoint?
verify complete genomic duplication
what happens at the metaphase checkpoint
ensures chromosomes attached to mitotic spindle
explain the steps that drive cell proliferation
- Myc-Transcription factor that drives cell prolif
- Myc increases G1-cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK)
- CDK phosphorylates retinoblastoma (Rb)
- Phospho-Rb releases sequestered E2F
- E2F- TF that drives cells from G1 to S phase
simplified cell proliferation cascade
Myc increases CDK which phosphorylates Rb which releases E2F which drives cells from G1 to S phase
E2F drives expression of what?
Cyclin E and Cyclin A
these activate CDK2
CDK2 hyper-phosphorylates Rb (inactive)
which activates E2F
allow transition pass G1 checkpoint
what does CDK need to be active?
Cyclin (cyclin-dependent kinase)
CDK activation
partially via binding of cyclin
full requires CDK- activating kinase (CAK)
CDK inhibition
inhibitors (WEE1/ P27) inhibit cyclin CDK complex
inactivates kinase activity
CDK-acitvating kinase (CAK) and the T-Loop
What cyclin and CDK are used in restriction point
Cyclin D with CDK 4/6
inhibited by CKI (WEE1/p27)
S phase CDK and cyclin type
Cyclin A with CDK2
CDK and Cyclin in M phase/G2 cp
Cyclin A/B with CDK1
What does WEE1 do in regulating CDK activity
What reverses it?
What are the CDK inhibitory proteins?
P27 chich binds to both Cdk and cyclin
regulates early in cell cycle events (RP and G1 CP)
how is cyclin regulated
cyclin turnover is regulated by signal-dependent protein degradation
Metaphase to Anaphase triggered by cyclin turnover
regulator (APC/C) cyclosome
which is a ubiquitin ligase family of enzymes
what happens in order to move into anaphase in the cell cycle?
Cyclin-S and Cylin-M must be down regulated
APC/C activated by Cdc20 (binding)
APC/C poly ubiquitinates S and M cyclin
which go to proteosome destruction
no cyclins=inactive Cdk (dephosph)
