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

|
what are asters?
