degree of attachment predicts
probability of division
probability of entering s phase if suspended in agar
8%
perch on a small adhesive patch
30%
spread on a big adhesive patch
90%
cell division depends on ____
cell shape and anchorage
exception:
some cells will divide readily in suspension
i.e. blood cell precursors
what else affects cell division besides degree of attachment?
cell density and nutrients
where aren't the majority of cells in your body?
not in suspension
focal contacts:
sites of production of intracellular signals
-there is a heterodimeric integrin that are sites of production for intracellular signals
how do cells know how attached they are?
by the proteins containing phosphotyrosine
how growth and proliferation are generated by cell attachment
proteins containing phosphotyrosine are also concentrated at these sites. This is thought to reflect the operation of a tyrosine-kinase intracellular signaling mechanism
the operation of a tyrosine-kinase intracellular signaling mechanism is activated by
transmembrane integrin proteins that bind to fibronectin extracellularly and indirectly to a cytoskeletal element
what are the goals of m-phase
mitosis and cytokinesis
-accurately partition DNA of daughter cells
-accurately partition cell contents to daughter cells; organelles, cytosol, membranes
stages of mitosis
prophase
prometaphase
metaphase
anaphase A
anaphase B
telaphase
cytokinesis
prophase
centrosome separation
DNA condensation
nuclear envelope not yet broken down
could microtubules access?
prometaphase
NEB
spindle formation
metaphase
congression: movement to middle of cell
-chromosomal alighment
-the pulling and pushing are not equal at this point
-the forces of the MT would not be able to line up in the middle if this were the case
anaphase
movement back towards the poles
chromatid separation
-there is a biochemical pause
-you need to cut the piece of protein (cohesive) that is holding the metaphase and anaphase together
-spindle elongation
-MT motors near poles
telaphase
-chromosome decondensation
-nuclear membrane reformation
-position of midline determines the info for where the midline will form
at a 90 degree angle at healthy cells
stages of mitosis again
prophase
centrosome separation
DNA condensation
prometaphase
NEB
spindle formation
metaphase
congression
chromosome alignment
anaphase A
chromatid separation
anaphase B
spindle elongation
telophase
chromosome decondensation
nuclear membrane reformation
cytokinesis
division into 2 cells
how long does it take for mitosis to occur?
80 minutes
why is metaphase the longest of the all the portions in mitosis?
this is where u have abrupt biochemical change
such as checkpoints for alignment, etc.
DNA condensation or compaction
chromosomes of this early prophase nucleus have begun the process of compaction that converts them into short, rodlike mitotic chromosomes that separate at a later stage in mitosis
dna condensation and compaction again
very first morphological change that you see in mitosis
-first signal that mitotis is going to begin
-these chromosomes have shrunk by 40-50 fold
each mitotic chromosomes is comprised of a ___
pair of sister chromatids connected to one another b the protein complex Cohesin
activates the cleavage of this, helps phosphorylate some things in order to release and drive this separase
m-cdk
the scanning EM of several human metaphase chromosomes showing the
paired identical chromatid length and join tightly at the centromere. The chromatids are not split apart from one another
cohesions and condensins help
configure replicated chromosomes for segregation
condensin is 2 _____
paired proteins
in order for condensin to do its job,
ATP needs to be cleaved
cohesin is what makes these things ___
sticky
condensin helps
coil and compact them
-similar structures, different jobs
sister-chromatid cohesion by cohesin
crosslink 2 strands
dna coiling by condensin
intramolecular crosslink to cell
formation of mitotic chromosome by a process called
compaction or chromosome condensation
topoisomerase II (enzyme) to help
coil or compact together this DNA to create this chromosome
compaction, ____ this is required but its role is unclear
H3
topoiso II wraps the DNA into
positively supercoiled loops that can be compacted into a mitotic chromosome
microtubules and MT motors
spindle formation and function
karyokinesis
actin-myosin:
ring around equator, is what helps mediate cytokinesis
centrioles
specialized structures that get called many different names, they are type of MTOC
s-phase leads to duplicated centriole, thus before you enter M-phase, there are now
2 pairs of centrioles
at 90 degree angles
centriole replication
the mother chromosome
g1 separation
s duplication
m elongation
what are asters?
structures with little MT on them (MT radial array)
laminas
-2 goals
give shape to nuclear envelope
teather chromosomes to nuclear envelope
NEB
m-cdk phosphorylates nuclear laminas
NEB leading to...
MT interact can now access/interact with condensed chromosomes for the 1st time
attachment occurs via
kinetochore
mitotic spindle assembly and function depend on
MT-dependent motor proteins
kinesin (+)
dynein (-)
kinetochore act _____
directly
-all MT motors trying to make spindle longer, they help crosslink MTs in such a way to link + ends
overlap zone, MAPs crosslink MT in a way that
caps their plus ends
3 types of MTs
astral MT
kinetochore MT
overlap MT
