CELL CYCLE
-
2 major phases
M phase (1 hour)
mitosis
-
continuous process , divided into 5 stages
-
-
Interphase (days,weeks,longer)
period between cell division , a time when cell grows & engages in diverse metabolic activites
-
Mitosis
PROPHASE
-
-
-
-
-
each replicated chromosome can be seen to consist of 2 identical chromatids / sister chromatids held by centromere
PROMETAPHASE
chromosomes led by centromeres , migrate to equatorial plane - metaphase plate
-
-
-
-
ANAPHASE
-
-
-
-
:star: alignment & separation in metaphase & anaphase --> ensure each daughter cell receive a copy of every chromosome
-
Meiosis
produce haploid sex cells / gametes ( which contain a single copy of each chromosome ) from diploid cells ( which contain 2 copies of each chromosome )
-
Checkpoints
G1 checkpoint
-
if inadequate condition , cell not allowed to S phase
-
M checkpoint
determine whether all sister chromatids are correctly attached to spindle microtubules before cell enter irreversible anaphase
Regulators
Cyclins
-
4 basic types in humans
G1 cyclins
low in G1 , rise slowly to peak in mid-S phase , then drop slowly back to zero at end of M phase
G1/S cyclins
very low for most cell cycle , with sharp & symmetrical peak at G1/S transition
S cyclins
low in early G1 , rise slowly through late G1 & S , peak in early G2 & drop sharply back to zero in early M phase
M cyclins
very low through all of G1 , rise slowly through peak at G2/M transition & drop sharply to zero in middle of M phase
-
-
Cyclin-dependent kinases
-
-
-
M cyclins send Cdks to M phase targets ( e.g. making chromosomes condense & nuclear membrane breakdown )
levels remain constant across cell cycle but activity & target proteins change as levels of various cyclins rise & fall
