regulation of 2nd cell cycle checkpoint Flashcards
S-Cdk activity enhances M-cyclin transcription
S-Cdk activates TFs
e.g. FoxM1
S-Cdk and FoxM1
S-Cdk phosphorylates FoxM1
-> allows PLK1 to bind
-> PLK1 phosphorylates FoxM1 at different location
- > FoxM1 binds to DNA
- > activates M-cyclin transcription
M-Cdk activity
- regulated by phosphorylation
cyclin binding to Cdk = partial activation of Cdk active site
phosphorylation fully activates
- initiated by CAK
Cdc25 phosphatase removes inhibitory Ps
= activated
Wee1 kinase adds inhibitory Ps
= inactive
what most happen to Cdc25 before it can dephosphorylate M-Cdk?
must be activated
- phosphorylated by PLK1
positive feedback of M-Cdk
active M-Cdk
- > inhibits Wee1 kinase
- > more active M-Cdk
active M-Cdk
- > activates (+P) Cdc25
- > more active M-Cdk
M-Cdk regulation due to subcellular localisation
M-Cdk first activated at centrosomes
then moves to nucleus in late Prophase
can only phosphorylate targets at these positions and these times
upstream regulators of M-Cdk at G2/M checkpoint
CAK
- kinase activates M-Cdk
- promotes cell cycle progression
Wee1
- kinase inhibits M-Cdk
- blocks
Cdc25
- phosphatase activates M-Cdk as removes inhibitory phosphates
- promotes
M-Cdk
- kinase (+ve feedback on own activation)
- promotes
how is G1/S-Cdk inactivated?
ubiquitination
E1 + E2 + E3 enzymes work together to add ubiquitin
- > tags G1/S-cyclin for degradation at proteasome
- > no activity of G1/S-Cdk
SCF complex
- what is it?
E3 ubiquitin ligase
contains an F-box protein
- gives specificity of protein degradation
incomplete DNA replication triggers..?
DNA damage response
incomplete DNA replication
- process
- stalled replication fork
- ATR kinase activated
- Chk1 kinase activated
- phosphorylates p53 (unbinds
Mdm2) = active - p53 binds to p21 regulatory region
- p21 transcribed and translated
- p21 binds and inhibits active M-Cdk
how is the incomplete DNA replication checkpoint block further upregulated?
Chk1 kinase
- > inhibits Cdc25
- > cannot remove inhibitory Ps from M-Cdk
incomplete DNA replication mediated regulators of G1/S-Cdk and S-Cdk at Start checkpoint
ATR + Chk1
- kinases
- block
Mdm2
- ubiquitin ligase
- promotes
p53
- TF
- blocks
p21
- inactivates cyclin-Cdks
- blocks
how does DNA damage prevent G1/S-Cdk + S-Cdk activation?
- DNA damage
- activates ATM kinase
- activates Chk2 kinase
- phosphorylates p53
- activates p21 transcription
- p21 inhibits G1/S-Cdk and S-Cdk via binding
DNA damage mediated regulators of G1/S-Cdk + S-Cdk at Start checkpoint
ATM and Chk2
- kinases
- block
Mdm2
- ubiquitin ligase
- promotes
p53
- TF
- block
p21
- cyclin-Cdk inhibitor
- block
