Lecture Ten: Cell Cycle
Eukaryotic Cell Cycle:
Life requires cell growth and division
The cell cycle is the repeated duplication
of the cell’s contents and division of
these components into two
A critical aspect of cell division is the
fidelity with which the cell duplicates
and segregates its genome
Cell Cycle:
1. Interphase:
a. G1 Phase:
Cell growth and partially
doubling proteins and
organelles
b. S Phase:
DNA replication
c. G2 Phase:
Cell growth and remaining
doubling of proteins and
organelles
2. M Phase:
a. Mitosis:
Nuclear division
b. Cytokinesis:
Cytoplasmic division
Successful completion of cell cycle requires the temporal coordination of many processes
(aka checkpoints)
1. Start Checkpoint:
Is the environment favorable?
o Yes will enter S phase
o No will wait
2. G2/M Checkpoint:
Is all the DNA replicated?
Is the environment favorable?
o Yes will enter M phase
o No will wait
3. Metaphase-to-Anaphase Transition:
Are all chromosomes attached to spindles?
o Yes will trigger anaphase and proceed cytokinesis
o No will wait
There are 3 major
checkpoints other
cells may have more

NEVER have the same
or different CDK with
the SAME Cyclin
o Phosphorylation of lamin leads to nuclear envelope breakdown
o Regulates proteins required for chromosome condensation
o Phosphorylates microtubule regulators (important for making the mitotic spindle)
Checkpoint Regulation: Cdks (Cyclin Dependent Kinases)
Cdks are the traffic lights of the cell cycle control system
Cdks are protein kinases with targets that
control the cell cycle
Their activity gives the “green light” to pass
through a check point
Cyclin binding is require for activity one
way to switch from a red to green light
a) If we have a cdk it requires a cyclin and an activating phosphate
b) If it has all the requirements it will use ATP to phosphorylate a target
Different cyclin-Cdk checkpoints act at different
stages of the cell cycle
o Cdk requires a cyclic and activating phosphate
and ATP to work
There are different types of cyclic to phosphate
different targets at each stage:
For budding yeasts, they have the same
CDK and the activity is controlled by different Cyclin
For vertebrates, they can have the same CDK with
different Cyclin or different CDK with different Cyclin
Activation of Cdk:
Requires Cyclin and Activating Phosphate
A. Cdk is Inactive
ATP is the ATP binding site
(for when it phosphorylates)
T-loop is part of the protein
B. Cdk is Partially Active
Cyclin comes in and moves
the t-loop which opens up
the active site
Extremely low activity
(still known as inactive)
C. Cdk is Fully Active
Cdk Activating Kinase (CAK) will come in and phosphorylate the t-loop which
forms the activating phosphate
S-Cdk Activity:
Inhibits an inhibitor of the origin recognition complex promoting DNA replication
M-Cdk Activity:
Phosphorylates multiple targets required to start mitosis

Document Summary

Cell cycle: interphase, g1 phase, cell growth and partially doubling proteins and organelles, s phase, dna replication, g2 phase, cell growth and remaining doubling of proteins and organelles, m phase, mitosis, nuclear division, cytokinesis, cytoplasmic division. Successful completion of cell cycle requires the temporal coordination of many processes (aka checkpoints: start checkpoint: Is the environment favorable: yes will enter s phase, no will wait, g2/m checkpoint: Is the environment favorable: yes will enter m phase, no will wait, metaphase-to-anaphase transition: There are 3 major checkpoints other cells may have more: are all chromosomes attached to spindles, yes will trigger anaphase and proceed cytokinesis, no will wait. Never have the same or different cdk with the same cyclin and atp to work: there are different types of cyclic to phosphate different targets at each stage, for budding yeasts, they have the same.
