Eukaryotic Cell Cycle Control
• the frequency of cell division
varies with the type of cell
– differences result from
regulation at the molecular
level
– cancer cells manage to escape
the usual controls on the cell
cycle
• cell cycle is driven by specific
chemical signals present in the
cytoplasm

RESULTS
When a cell in the S
phase was fused
with a cell in G1,
the G1 nucleus
immediately entered
the S phase—DNA
was synthesized.

When a cell in the
M phase was fused with
a cell in G1, the G1
nucleus immediately
began mitosis—a spindle
formed and chromatin
condensed, even though
the chromosome had not
been duplicated.
Phases of the Cell Cycle
• consists of two phases
– Mitotic (M) phase = mitosis and
cytokinesis)
– Interphase = cell growth and copying
of chromosomes in preparation for
cell division
• Interphase - about 90% of the cell
cycle
–
–
–
–
can be divided into sub-phases
G1 phase -“first gap”
S phase “synthesis”
G2 phase - “second gap”
Some terms to know
-parent cell = cell about to undergo
division
-daughter cell = cell that results from
either mitosis or meiosis
-somatic cell = any cell within the body
other than an egg or sperm
-somatic cell has two complete sets of
chromosomes
-one set is called the haploid
number of chromosomes (n)
-therefore the cell is said to be
diploid (2n)
e.g. humans n = 23 (2n = 46)
-germ cell or gamete = sex cell
-gamete has only one set of
chromosomes and is haploid
Cellular Organization of the Genetic Material
• all the DNA in a cell constitutes the cell’s genome
• REMINDER: eukaryotic chromosomes consist of chromatin, a
complex of DNA and protein that condenses during cell division
• in most cells - DNA molecules in a cell are condensed
and packaged into chromosomes
• prokaryotics have a single chromosome called a
genophore
• eukaryotic cells posses number of chromosomes
20 m
every eukaryotic species has a characteristic
number of chromosomes in each cell nucleus
e.g. humans – n=23
e.g. drosophila – n=2
e.g. dog – n=39
• when not dividing – much of the eukaryotic DNA is in its loosest formation =
chromatin
– allows access to the machinery for DNA replication and transcription
• in preparation for cell division - DNA is replicated and condenses into
chromosomes
• chromosome = organized structure of DNA and protein
– chroma = color
– soma = body
• the building material of a chromosome is chromatin
• each duplicated chromosome is made of two sister chromatids = joined
copies of the original chromosome
– these chromatids will separate during cell division and be partitioned into each daughter cell
• chromatids are joined by a structure called a centromere
Sister
chromatids
Centromere
0.5 m
Centromere
• condensed region within the chromosome
• responsible for the accurate segregation of sister chromatids during
mitosis & meiosis
• shared by sister chromatids during mitosis
• site of the centromere where spindle microtubules attach – area of
DNA and protein = kinetochore
Sister

Kinetochore
•
•
•
•
•
a structure of DNA and proteins located in the centromere
for the attachment of the chromosome to the spindle during mitosis and meiosis
one MT attaches to one kinetochore on one chromatid
a 2nd MT attaches to the kinetochore on the other chromatid
attachment of MTs to the plates of the kinetochore results in movement toward
the poles
• a “tug of war” results – chromosomes move back and forth and eventually settle
in the metaphase plate

Control of DNA Structure: Condensation of
Chromatin
•
nucleosome = DNA helix wrapped around a
histone protein core
– responsible for organizing the DNA as
chromatin
•
•
•
•
other proteins are involved organizing
chromatin as chromosomes
non-histone proteins in the nucleus form a
chromosome scaffold  300nm fiber
specific sequences in the chromosome called
scaffold-associated regions or SARs interact
with the scaffold to create the 300 nm fiber
next level of “packing” is a 700 nm fiber
– not much known about this

Chromosome and Chromosomes: Confusion!!!
• prior to cell division – the duplicated
chromatin condenses into its most
dense form = chromosome
– two sister chromatids joined by a
centromere
– typically called a duplicated chromosome
• during cell division - the two sister
chromatids separate
• once separated - the chromatids are
still called chromosomes

http://www.loci.wisc.edu/outreach/bioclips/CDBio.html
Prophase: prior to prophase, the replicated DNA is beginning to condense into sister
chromatids joined at the centromere  (duplicated) chromosome
1. the centrioles (replicated at G2) move apart from each other
2. the spindle forms between the centrioles (made of microtubules)
3. the kinetochore forms and the condensing duplicated chromosomes attach to the
spindle
4. the nucleoli disappear
Spindle – structure that includes the
two centrioles, two asters and the spindle
microtubules than span the cell
Aster – a radial array of short MTs extending from the
centrioles
2. Prometaphase: used to be known as “late prophase”
1. the nuclear envelope fragments – allows growth of spindle into region where
chromosomes are located
2. the DNA of the duplicated chromosomes becomes even more condensed
3. some chromosomes attach to spindle via kinetochore = kinetochore
microtubules
4. non-kinetochore microtubules begin to form and grow towards opposite pole

Metaphase: centrioles are at opposite ends of the cell and the spindle
is complete
1. the chromosomes move and line up along a central zone= metaphase plate
-the tug of war at pro-metaphase eventually positions the chromosomes
midway alone the length of the cell
2. non-kinetochore MTs interact with the opposite pole & the aster MTs
make contact with the plasma membrane – the spindle is now complete
10 m
3 Metaphase
4. Anaphase: shortest of the mitotic phases
1. the chromatid pairs separate into daughter chromosomes
2. one chromatid/chromosome moves toward one centriole of the cell,
the other the opposite
-pulled apart by the action of the spindle – the kinetochore MTs
begin to shorten
-PLUS non-kinetochore MTs grow – this elongates the cell
** At the end of this phase – each end of the cell has equivalent numbers
of chromosomes – same number as the parent cell
**the sister chromatids separate
because of enzymatic activity
-an enzyme called separase cleaves
a protein known as cohesin (protein
in the centromere that holds the
sister chromatids together)
-separates the sister chromatids
4. Telophase: reverse of Prophase
1. nuclear envelope reforms – two daughter nuclei result
-part of the new nuclear membrane is recycled from the old fragments,
other parts are made new by the cell
2. the nucleoli reappear
3. the spindle disappears as the MTs depolymerize
4. daughter chromosomes uncoil
** Cytokinesis starts during late anaphase and is well underway during telophase
(a) Cleavage of an animal cell (SEM)
Cytokinesis: division of cytoplasm
-separates the parent into two daughter cells
-differs in animal cells and plant cells
Animal cell Cytokinesis: results from cleavage pinches into two daughters
-actin filaments assemble to form a contractile
ring along the equator of the cell
-actin interacts with myosin proteins – causes
the ring to contract
-actin-myosin interaction first forms a
“cleavage furrow” - slight indentation around
the circumference of the cell
-continued interaction divides the cell by a
“purse string” mechanism
Cleavage furrow

Daughter cells
Plant cell Cytokinesis: No cleavage furrow possible
-vesicles bud from the Golgi apparatus and migrate to the middle of the cell
-vesicles coalesce to produce a cell plate
-other vesicles fuse to the plate bringing in new building materials
-cell plate grows and eventually splits the cell into two daughter cells

Binary Fission in Bacteria
• bacteria and archaea
reproduce by binary fission
– the chromosome replicates
and the two daughter
chromosomes actively move
apart
– the plasma membrane
pinches inward, dividing the
cell into two
– BUT there is no ordered
segregation of the duplicated
chromosome
– duplicate it and divide it into
two cells

Phases of the Cell Cycle
– G1 phase - time in phase depends on species
•
•
•
•
normal cell functions
growth in size
mRNA and protein synthesis in preparation for S phase
critical phase in which cell commits to division or
leaves the cell cycle to enter into a dormancy phase
(G0)
– S phase - 6 to 8 hours
•
synthesis of histone proteins & DNA replication
– G2 phase – 2 to 5 hours
•
•
•
rapid cell growth – may function to simply control cell
size
protein synthesis in preparation for M phase
duplication of the centrioles/centrosomes

Cell Cycle Checkpoints
• interphase not only allows the cell to perform its normal functions but also allows
the cell to check whether it is ready to enter mitosis
• cell cycle is controlled by a control system that coordinates and triggers key
events in the cell cycle
• progression through the cell cycle requires a combination of internal and
external signals
– these signals control whether the cell is ready to continue on into the S and M phases
• so the control system of the cell cycle monitors these signals and determines
whether to proceed through the cell cycle
• there are specific points along the cell cycle where “decisions” are made by this
control system = CHECKPOINTS
G checkpoint
• Checkpoint = control point where “stop” and
“go-ahead” signals regulate the cell cycle

Cell Cycle Checkpoints
• major checkpoints – G1, G2 and M
– G1 checkpoint – G1/S
progression through a point
called the restriction point or
START point of the cell cycle
– G2 checkpoint – G2/M
progression which will lead to
the start of mitosis and
chromosome alignment
– M checkpoint – Metaphase
to Anaphase transition where
chromatid separation occurs

Cell Cycle Checkpoints
• for many cells, the G1/S checkpoint seems to be the most important
– if a cell receives a go-ahead signal at this G1/S checkpoint  will usually
complete the S, G2, and M phases and divide
– many texts call this checkpoint the Start (yeasts) or Restriction point
(mammalian cells)
• if the cell does not receive the go-ahead signal - will exit the cycle, switching
into a non-dividing state called the G0 phase
• most cells in the body are in the G0 phase and remain there
• some cells have the ability to leave G0 and re-enter the cell cycle
G0

IN ANIMAL CELLS A “GO-AHEAD” SIGNAL
MUST BE PRODUCED TO OVERRIDE
A BUILT IN “STOP” SIGNAL
Cell Cycle Control System
• the proteins of this system evolved over a billion years ago
• so well conserved in eukaryotes – take from human control cells
and put into yeast cells – they work!!
• much of the early research done – been done in yeast
– search for mutations in genes that encode critical parts of the cell cycle
control system = cell-division-cycle genes or cdc genes
– many mutations cause the cell cycle to arrest a specific points – such
as checkpoints
• additional work done in frog eggs and in mammalian cell cultures
– e.g. immortalized mammalian cell lines
The Cell Cycle Control System: Cyclins and CyclinDependent Kinases
• master controllers of the cell cycle are heterodimeric protein
kinases: cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs)
– cyclins named for the cyclical changes in their
concentration through the cell cycle
• only made during the stage of the cell cycle they control
– CDKs named because their phosphorylation activities
requiring their binding to their “partner” cyclin
• CDK levels remain constant throughout the cell cycle
• it is the cyclins that cycle up and down
– CDKs cannot work as kinases unless they are bound to
their partner cyclin
The Cell Cycle Control System: Cyclins and CyclinDependent Kinases
– cyclin/CDKs regulate the
activities of multiple proteins by
the cdk phosphorylating them
– Cyclin/CDK partners are involved
in:
• 1. entry to the cell cycle (i.e. G1
phase)
• 2. DNA replication (i.e. S phase)
• 3. segregation of chromosomes
during mitosis (i.e. M phase)
– mistakes only happen once every 104
 105 divisions
phosphorylation can result in activation of the target protein
or inhibition of the target protein (all depends on the target
protein)
The Cell Cycle Control System: Cyclins and CyclinDependent Kinases
• CDK activity fluctuates during the cell cycle
– CDK proteins are expressed first
– CDK activity is controlled by an array of proteins - including the
cyclin
– cyclical changes in CDK activities leads to cyclical changes in
the phosphorylation of their target proteins
– CDKs phosphorylate key proteins responsible for passing
through each checkpoint
• e.g. phosphorylation of proteins that make up a pre-initiation complex
- this results in the initiation of DNA replication
The Cell Cycle Control System: Cyclins and CyclinDependent Kinases
• eukaryotic cells have four classes of cyclins
– each act at a specific stage of the cell cycle
– eukaryotic cells require three of these classes for their
cell cycle
• 1. G1/S cyclins
• 2. S-cyclins
• 3. M-cyclins
The Cell Cycle Control System: Cyclins and CyclinDependent Kinases
• 1. G1/S cyclins – active in late G1
– trigger the progression through the G1 restriction point
– cyclin E; cdk2
• 2. S-cyclins – activate cdks that help stimulation chromosome
duplication
– levels stay high until M phase - since they help initiate mitosis
– cyclin A; cdk2
– E.g. cdk2 activates the helicase
• 3. M-cyclins – activate the cdks that stimulate progression through
the G2 checkpoint and into Mitosis
– cyclin B; cdk1
Cyclins and Cyclin-Dependent Kinases – no you don’t
have to know these for your exam!!!

work in frog eggs identified a cdk-cyclin complex that triggered the cell’s passage past the G2 checkpoint
into the M phase
called MPF (maturation-promoting factor)
• also called Mitosis-promoting factor
– actually - cyclin B and cdk1
cyclin B combines with cdk1 in G2 to produce MPF
– cyclin B levels peak at M phase
– MPF activity peaks at M phase
when enough MPF is made – the cell passes the G2 checkpoint and enters Mitosis
during anaphase cyclin B is degraded and cdk1 activity starts to fall
M phase stops and G1 begins – new cell cycle

Cyclins and CDKs in action
• cyclin B synthesis begins in late S phase and increases through G2 and into M
• cyclin B combines with CDK1 in G2 to produce MPF
• when enough MPF is made – the cell passes the G2 checkpoint and enters
Mitosis
• MPF promotes Mitosis via CDK1 phosphorylating its target proteins
– e.g. nuclear lamina proteins  nuclear envelope fragmentation
– e.g. chromosome condensing
Regulation of CDK activity
M
• want to control the CDK? control the
expression of the cyclin!!!
• the most important regulatory control
of a cyclin is its degradation
• e.g. during anaphase cyclin B becomes
degraded and CDK1 activity starts to fall
– the cdk1 part of the MPF actually degrades
its partner cyclin
– the cdk1 is “recycled” for future cycles
• M phase stops and G1 begins

(b) Molecular mechanisms that help regulate the cell cycle
Degradation of cyclins and cell cycle control
• activation of specific cyclin-cdk complexes also drive progression
through the G1 and G2 checkpoints
• progression through the M checkpoint requires the degradation of
proteins
• e.g. degradation of cyclin B
• one key regulator of cyclin degradation is the anaphasepromoting complex or APC
• mitotic cdk/cyclin complexes induce chromosome condensing,
breakdown of the nuclear envelope, assembly of the spindle and
the alignment of chromosomes
– this gets you up to Anaphase
• once this happens – the sister chromatids must separate at
Anaphase
• the APC controls this
Degradation of cyclins and cell cycle control
cessation of mitosis
• mitotic cdk/cyclins activate the
APC (via phosphorylation)
• the APC directs the degradation
of proteins that act as
anaphase inhibitors in the cell
• allows the onset of anaphase
cyclin/cdk
activates
APC
degradation of inhibitors
anaphase
Degradation of cyclins and cell cycle control
cessation of mitosis
• BUT as mitosis proceeds – the
APC also directs the
degradation of the cdk/cyclin
complex
• increasing APC levels act through
negative feedback
• the drop in mitotic cdk/cyclin
complexes now allows for the
condensing of chromosomes
etc….. and the cessation of
mitosis
cyclin/cdk
promotes
degradation
activates
APC
degradation of inhibitors
anaphase
Stop and Go Signs: Internal and External Signals at the
Checkpoints
• there is a link between what is happening inside and outside the cell with the
activity of cdk/cyclins
• in other words – internal and external signals exert control over cdk/cyclins and
the cell cycle
• internal signal – e.g. kinetochores not attached to spindle microtubules send a
molecular signal that delays anaphase
– all chromosomes must be attached to the spindle in order to eventually
activate and enzyme called separase
– separase promotes chromatid separation during anaphase
Stop and Go Signs: Internal and External Signals at the
Checkpoints
• some external signals are growth factors
– proteins released by certain cells that stimulate other cells to divide =
mitogen
– more than 50 growth factors identified in eukaryotic cells
– some GFs are made by several types of cells
– others are quite cell-specific
• another external signal - density-dependent inhibition
– crowded cells stop dividing
• another signal - anchorage dependence
– cells must be attached to a substratum in order to divide

With PDGF
platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulates the division of human fibroblast cells in
culture
– bind to PDGF receptors on target cells
– initiate the progression through the G1 phase into M
•
GFs like PDGF often initiate a series of internal signaling events that activate a class of
kinases called G1 kinases
-G1 kinases then exert control over the G1/S cyclins that initiate entry into the cell cycle
Loss of Cell Cycle Controls in Cancer Cells
• cancer cells exhibit neither density-dependent inhibition nor anchorage
dependence
• Cancer = known medically as a malignant neoplasm
• cells with upregulated cell growth because they do not have a normally
controlled cell cycle
• uncontrolled division gives rise to cells that can invade surrounding tissues and
travel through the lymphatic and circulatory systems to invade other tissues at a
distance = malignant cancer
• if abnormal cells remain only at the original site - the lump is called a benign
tumor

Causes of Cancer
• over 200 cancers that affect humans
– Thyroid cancer – 94% five year survival rate
– Skin cancer – 81%
Mutagen – agent that causes a
– Prostate cancer – 74%
mutation in the DNA
– Breast cancer – 76%
Carcinogen – mutagen that causes
– Stomach cancer – 17%
cancer
– Pancreatic – 1%
• numerous and diverse causes – 90-95% cases are attributed to environmental
causes
• Environmental causes = not due to genetic, inherited factors
– Tobacco – 25-30% of all cancers
– Diet & obesity – 30-35%
• negative effects on the immune system and endocrine system
• e.g. high salt diet – tied to increased gastric cancer
– Infective agents (virus, bacteria) – 15-20%
– Radiation – up to 10%
Mutagens
• mutagen = agent that causes a mutation in the DNA
• mutations can arise in a number of ways
– 1. errors in replication
– 2. errors in genetic recombination (during meiosis)
• mutagens can be both physical and chemical agents
– physical – X-rays, UV light other forms of high energy radiation
– chemical – nucleotide analogs (mimic a NT but incorrectly pair),
intercalating agents, others alter chemical properties of the base
(alters their pairing capacity)
• types of mutations: lecture on transcription and translation
– small scale – point mutations
– large scale – effect large areas of chromosome sequence
Genes of Cancer
• two broad category of genes affected by these: tumorsuppressor genes and proto-oncogenes
• tumor suppressor genes – meant to suppress the
unrestricted development of cells
– repair damaged DNA
– control cell adhesion
– inhibit the cell cycle using cell-signaling pathways
• proto-oncogenes – genes that play roles in normal
embryonic development
– turned off as development concludes
– also play roles in normal growth and division
– mutations transform them into cancer causing
oncogenes
Mutations in Cancer
• genetic mutations can result in the
transformation of the genes of cell growth and
differentiation
• numerous kinds of genetic mutations possible
– small scale point mutations, deletions and
insertions
– large scale deletion or insertions of
chromosomal sections, translocation of
chromosome sections
• transformation of a cancer cell does not always
result in increased proliferation
– can result in loss of cell-cell adherence +
increased ability to invade surrounding
tissues – metastatic capacity
Oncogenes and the Cell Cycle
• mutation in a proto-oncogene transforms them
into an oncogene
• oncogenes have abnormal cell cycle control
checkpoints
• e.g. Cyclin D
– in normal cells – cyclin D is a link between G1
progression
– mutations in genes that control cyclin D
transcription can result in its overproduction
– overproduction of cyclin D in cancer cells
drives the cell into and through this phase
– even takes cells out of the G0 phase sooner
then they should be
– overproduction can result from chromosome
translocation - the cyclin D gene is moved
next to a very active promoter
