Transcript cell cycle

Cell Division
• Prokaryotic
 binary fission
 sporulation
• Eukaryotic
 mitosis
 meiosis
Prokaryotic Cell Division - Binary Fission
Eukaryotic DNA is Packaged into Chromosomes

The Eukaryotic Cell Cycle
Checkpoints in Cell Cycle Progression
• G1 to S and G2 to M transitions are
regulated by proteins called cyclindependent kinases (Cdks) and cyclins
Cyclin proteins and Cdk activity
• Cyclin proteins are made and destroyed in a cyclic
pattern during the cell cycle
• Cdks are activated by binding to one of several different
cyclin proteins
Cyclins and activation of Cdks
Cyclin-Dependent Kinases and Cyclins Regulate Transitions in the Cell Cycle
MPF
• Cdk-cyclin
complexes each
phosphorylate
different target
proteins to
regulate
progression of
the cell cycle
p53
Disruption of Cell Cycle Control
• Cyclin-Cdk complexes act as checkpoints.
• When functioning properly, they allow or prevent passage
to the next stage of the cell cycle
• In cancer cells, these checkpoints are often disrupted
 Rb/p105 (retinoblastoma)
 Loss of Rb permits unregulated cell division
 p53
 Loss of p53 prevents synthesis of p21 which
allows production of cyclin D
