Lecture #22 Flashcards
What are the 5 Mitotic stages?
Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
What mitotic stage does this describe?
- Chromosomal material condenses to form compact mitotic chromosomes. Chromosomes are seen to be composed of two chromatids attached together at the centromere
- Cytoskeleton is disassembled, and mitotic spindle is assembled
- Golgi complex and endoplasmic reticulum fragment. Nuclear envelope disperses
Prophase
What mitotic stage does this describe?
- Chromosomal microtubules attach to kinetichores of chromosomes
- Chromosomes are moved to the spindle equator
Prometaphase
What mitotic stage does this describe?
- Chromosomes are aligned along the metaphase plate, attached by chromosomal microtubules to both poles
metaphase
_________: One of the two identical halves of a chromosome that has been replicated in preparation for cell division.
Chromatid
_________: Large structure that mediates interactions between chromosomal DNA and spindle-microtubule polymers
Kinetochore
What mitotic stage does this describe?
- Centromeres spilt, and chromatids separate
- Chromosomes move to opposite spindle poles
- Spindle poles move farther apart
Anaphase
What mitotic stage does this describe?
- Chromosomes cluster at opposite spindle poles
- Chromosomes become dispersed
- Nuclear envelope assembles around chromosome clusters
- Golgi complex and ER reform
- Daughter cells are formed by cytokinesis
Telophase
Chromosome compaction/condensation occurs in early _______
prophase
_______ is a protein is responsible for compaction. Activated by phosphorylation of its subunits by the cyclin-Cdk complex. Change DNA coiling.
Condensin
Compact chromosomes appear as ____-like structures. Each mitotic chromosome consists of ____ chromatids.
rod, two
Prior to replication, the DNA of each chromosome is associated with ________, which forms a ring to encircle the two sister DNA molecules
cohesin
Cohesin and condensin both contain ____ proteins (Structural maintenance of chromosomes)
SMC
____ proteins fold back on themselves to form a highly elongated anti-parallel, coiled coil with a globular domain at both the N- and C-termini
SMC
Cohesin is released in two distinct stages, with most removed during _______
prophase
Polo-like kinase and Aurora B kinase phosphorylate _______, and the protein WAPL then removes it
cohesin
Chromatids are held relatively loosely along their extended arms, but much more tightly at their _________
centromeres
Centromeres occur at a _______ _______ on chromosomes and serve as the binding site for proteins
primary constriction
________ are the sites where chromosomes attach to the microtubules of the mitotic spindle, it is also the residence of several motor proteins involved in chromosome motility
Kinetochores
Kinetochores are on the outer _______ of centromeres
surface
______ kinetochore:
Microtubule binding
Microtubule motor activity
Signal transduction
Outer
_____ kinetochore:
Centromere replication
Chromatin interface
Kinetochore formation
Inner
