Lecture 26 Flashcards
post mitotic
never divide
cell cycle
M1 to s to m2 to g
-driven by cyclin levels that go up and down
how did we find the cell cycle
in yeast that we stained blue
-also found restrictive temperatures
22 celsius
permissive temperature that allows cell cycle
36 celsius
restrictive temp no division
-temp sensitive mutations control the genese
CDC28 gene
in yeast regulates and encodes cyclin dependant kinase and regulate cell cyclin
CDK CYCLIN
cyclin bind to cdk and activate kinase activity
-when it phosphorylates it activates different substrates that will regulate cell cycle
-self regulate by making the enzymes that degrade them
check points
g1 g2 and M
g1 to s progression stopped by
DNA damage
what triggers repair at g1 to s
p53 which will express p21 that will inhibit cdk to stop the cycle
what happens if chromosomes dont attach to spindle correctly
pause between metaphase and anaphase
cancer can keep dividing because
it makes more telomerase and dont respond to cell cycle control
-have messy chromosomes
tummor suppressors
are the brakes of the cell cycle
-RB will block E2F from synthesizing DNA
-p53 forces repair or apoptosis
what happnes when suppresors get lof
eventually you will get an oncogene mutation becuase we cant put a break on the cell cycle to stop a mutation from proliferation
oncogene GOF mutation
drive cell division
-proto oncogene (normal) becomes constitutive
