Prior to Week 7 Class 1 – pp. 963-982 – can skip “Cell-cycle progression can be studied in various ways”

• Know

o What the phases of the cell cycle are

▪ Interphase

• G1

• S phase

• G2

▪ M phase

• Prophase; metaphase; anaphase; telophase

• Cytokinesis

o What sister chromatids are

▪ Pairs of rigid, compact rods of DNA

o What start/the restriction point refers to

▪ Point of no return for DNA replication

o What CDKs and cyclins are

▪ Cyclin dependent kinases; cyclic change in phosphorylation of intracellular proteins

initiating or regulating major events

▪ Cyclins; changes in levels leads to activation of cyclin-cdk complexes

o What Wee1, Cdc25, CAK, and CKIs are

▪ Wee 1

• Phosphorylates inhibitory sites in Cdks INHIBITS

• Suppresses Cdk1 activity before mitosis

▪ Cdc25

onset ACTIVATES

▪ CAK

• Cdk-activating kinase

• Phosphorylates an active site in Cdks

▪ CK1

• Cdk inhibitor proteins

o Inactivates cyclin-cdk complexes

o What the APC/C and SCF are

▪ APC/C

• Catalyzes ubiquitylation of regulatory proteins for mitosis exit

▪ SCF

• Catalyzes ubiquitylation of regulatory proteins in G1 control

o What the pre-RC, ORC, Cdc6, Cdt1, Mcm, DDK and geminin are

▪ Pre-RC

• Pre-replicative complex

• First step in late mitosis and early G1; pair of inactive DNA helicases loaded

onto rep origin

• Licensing of replication origins

o Initiation of DNA synthesis can only happen if you have a pre-RC

▪ ORC

• Origin replication complex

• Binds to rep origins throughout cell cycle

▪ Cdc6 and Cdt1

▪ DDK

• Helps drive origin activation by phosphorylating specific subunits of DNA

helicase

▪ Geminin

• Cdt1 inhibitor

o If APC/C is off, geminin accumulates, Cdt1 is inhibited if not

associated to DNA

o What cohesins are

fall in mid-mitosis

o The stages of M Phase and what occurs in each

▪ Prophase; Prometaphase; Metaphase

• Triggered by increase in M-Cdk activity at G2/M transition

mitotic spindle and attachment to sister chromatid pairs

▪ Anaphase

• APC/C triggers destruction of securing

• Liberating a protease that cleaves cohesin and initiates separation of sister

chromatids

▪ Telophase

▪ Cytokinesis

• Divides the cell into 2 halves

o What condensin is and how it is relevant to mitosis

• Understand

o The purpose of the cell cycle

▪ To duplicate cells; replace dead ones

o In general, what happens in each phase of the cell cycle

▪ G1

▪ M phase

• Chromosome segregation and cell division

• Prophase

o Disentangled, condensed into sister chromatids
