Cell cycle |
Series of steps that lead to cell division |
|
Function of cell cycle |
- Accurately duplicate DNA of chromosome - Precisely segregate sister chromatids into two daughter cells |
|
Accurately duplicate DNA of chromosome |
Function of cell cycle (1) |
|
Precisely segregate sister chromatids into two daughter cells |
Function of cell cycle (2) |
|
Cell cycle control system |
- Comprised of regulatory proteins - Govern progression through cell cycle *(checkpoints) |
|
Checkpoints |
*cell cycle control system - govern progression through cell cycle - comprised of regulatory proteins |
|
Mechanics of cell division |
- Mitosis - Cytokinesis |
|
Mitosis |
*Phase of cell division (mechanics) - separation of sister chromatids |
|
Mitotic spindle |
*part of mitosis - Made of --Microtubules (MTs) --MT associated proteins (MAPs) -- MT dependent motor proteins (kinesin-related proteins/dyneins) |
|
MT dependent motor proteins |
*make up part of mitotic spindle - Kinesin related proteins - Dyneins |
|
Cytokinesis |
*Phase of cell division (mechanics) - division of cytoplasm |
|
Contracting ring |
*part of cytokinesis - made of... --Actin --Myosin |
|
Actin/myosin |
Make up contracting ring of cytokinesis |
|
Cell cycle control proteins |
- Cyclin dependent kinases (Cdks) - Cyclins |
|
Cyclin dependent kinases (Cdks) |
*cell cycle control protein - Protein kinase--> control major cell cycle events (replication, mitosis) - Activity rises and falls during cell cycle |
|
Cyclins |
*cell cycle control protein - Major regulator of Cdk activity - binds Cdk directly - Changes in level controls cdk activity - different types in different phases of cell division (ex. M-cyclin, Cyclin B) |
|
M-Cdk |
Cyclin-Cdk complex - M-cyclin+Cdk1 |
|
Cdk activity regulation methods |
*Regulation - Phosphorylation - Binding of cdk inhibitors - Proteolysis of cyclins |
|
Cdk activity regulated by phosphorylation |
*cdk activity regulation - Phosphorylation of T161/Y15 site - important in control of M-cdk activity --uses wee1, CAK, and cdc25 |
|
Cdk activating kinase (CAK) |
*regulates cdk activity - phosphorylates the top of Cdk protein (T161) - makes M-Cdk active |
|
Wee1 |
*regulates cdk activity - Cdk inactivating kinase - phosphorylates bottom of Cdk protein (Y15) - makes M-Cdk inactive |
|
Cdc25 |
*regulates cdk activity - Protein phosphatase - Dephosphorylates Y15 - Makes M-Cdk active |
|
Active M-cdk |
- promotes entry into mitosis |
|
Inactive M-cdk |
- inhibits mitosis entry - promotes exit |
|
Cdk activity regulated by binding of cdk inhibitors |
*cdk activity regulation - binds inhibitor on cdk+cyclin complex (m-cdk) - makes m-cdk inactive - important in control of G1-S phase -- uses CKI |
|
Cdk inhibitor protein (CKI) |
*regulates cdk activity - binds to M-cdk complex on top --> inactivates - inhibits mitosis entry Ex: p21, p29 |
|
CKI types |
*regulates cdk activity - P21 - P29 |
|
Cdk activity controlled by regulated proteolysis of cyclins |
*cdk activity regulation - Breakdown of cyclins with proteasomes - Inactivates cdk -- uses ubiquitin ligase |
|
Proteasomes |
- Degrades cyclins tagged by polyUbiq. chain |
|
Ubiquitin ligase |
*regulates/controls cdk activity - recruits ubiquitin - forms ubiquitin chain - degrades cylins --Ex: SCF, Anaphase promoting complex (APC) |
|
Ubiquitin |
*regulates/controls cdk activity - recruited by ubiquitin ligase - attaches to cyclin protein and forms polyubiquitin chain |
|
Polyubiquitin chain |
*regulates/controls cdk activity - acts as tag for degradation by ubiquitin ligase |
|
Examples of proteasomes |
- SCF - Anaphase promoting complex (APC) |
|
SCF |
*regulates cdk activity - type of ubiquitin ligase - degrades CKI -- activates G1/S-cdk |
|
Anaphase promoting complex (APC) |
*regulates cdk activity - type of ubiquitin ligase - degrades M-cyclin and Securtin |
|
Activation of M-cdks |
- triggers entry into mitosis |
|
M-cyclin (Cyclin B) |
Activation of M-cdk begins with accumulation of... |
|
Cyclin B |
*M-cyclin - activates M-cdk when accumulated - levels oscillate during cell cycle |
|
Interphase |
*M-cdk activation - Cell cycle that increases Cyclin B synthesis - G1--> M-phase -- triggers entry into mitosis |
|
Anaphase |
*M-cdk activation - Cell cycle that degrades Cyclin B - Cdk1 inactivation -- triggers exit from mitosis |
|
Positive feedback |
*M-cdk activation - Abrupt increase in Cdk/cyclin B activity - Late in G2 phase (Cyclin B level/Cdk1 activity relationship) |
|
Cdk1/cyclin (M-cdk) |
*M-cdk activation - Activates Cdc25 - Inhibits Wee1 |
|
Activation of Cdk1/cyclin |
*M-cdk activation - irreversible and complete - promoted by feedback loops |
|
Regulation by Cdk1/cyclin B (M-cdk) |
*regulation - Assembly of mitotic spindle (motor proteins) - MT dynamics (MAPs) (MT binding protein) - Chromosome condensation (condensin) - Nuclear envelope breakdown (nuclear lamins) |
