BIO 1140 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Cdk Inhibitor, Cyclin E, Anaphase-Promoting Complex
Document Summary
Overview of the cell cycle and its control https://www. ncbi. nlm. nih. gov/books/nbk21466/ Dna synthesis, but these factors cannot induce dna synthesis in a g2 nucleus: the isolation of yeast cell-division cycle (cdc) mutants led to the identification of genes that regulate the cell cycle. Cdk6 cyclin d function in mid to late g1; cdk2 cyclin e in late g1; cdk2 cyclin a in s; and cdk1 cyclin a and. Cdk1 cyclin b in g2 and m through anaphase (see figure 13-29): growth factors induce expression of early-response genes, many of which encode transcription factors that stimulate expression of delayed-response genes. The cell-cycle control system is based on cyclically activated protein kinases: the cell-cycle control system is a family cyclin-dependent kinases (cdks). Cdk active site causes conformational change that increases the activity of cdk, allowing the kinase to phosphorylate its target proteins effectively and thereby induce specific cell-cycle events.
