2. Cyclin D is intiated during G1 and drives expression of Cyclin E and cyclin A . presence of increased cyclin concentration level in set of phases indicates overlap between cyclins.
3. Which cyclin drives the cell cycle at any given stage can be indicated by increased cyclin concentration at that particular stage. for example in M phase concentration of cyclin B will be higher compared to others.
Cyclin E drives the cell into S phase because Cyclin E (G1/S) rise in late G1 and fall in late S. it binds to G1 phase Cdk2 and thus helps in intiating DNA duplication.
9. In human cells four different cyclins drive the cell cycle (see picture). Please, note that...
4. Short response (2 sentences max, 6pts each) A. Many yeast species have only one cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk), which activates protein targets that drive events in multiple phases of the cell cycle. Why doesn't this Cdk activate G1-, S-, G2-, and M-phase proteins all at the same time? B. Please describe how cell death by apoptosis can play a beneficial role in the body's healthy growth. C. For a cell starting in G1, place the following cell cycle events in...

QUESTION 1 A gene that encodes a protein that stimulates progression of the cell cycle is known as a proto-oncogene. True False QUESTION 2 Cytokinesis occurs after which stage or phase of the cell cycle? a. G2 b. S c. G0 d. G1 e. M phase QUESTION 3 During cell-cycle checkpoints, protein kinases known as CDKs phosphorylate target proteins only when they associate with a cyclin. True False QUESTION 4 During mitosis, many of the spindle fibers attach to chromosomes...
1 You are a studying the progression of cells through the cell cycle. You are particularly interested in the cyclins E and A, both of which contribute sequentially to the same cell cycle transition. In this case one cyclin initiates the transition and the other completes the process. In these images you see cell extracts from Hela Cells. A) shows the levels of various proteins, while B) shows the amount of DNA in the cells, more DNA shifts this graph...
As a continuation of the experiments in Question 1 you want to study the timing of the APC's activity more distinctly. To do this you treat your cells with MG132 - a proteasome inhibitor. When MG132 is added to cells proteins can still be ubiquitinated, but they are not degraded, because the proteasome is inhibited. In cells that are treated with MG132 you can monitor APC activity on Cyclin B using just the cyclin B a. antibody and a western...
The picture below represents a cell during metaphase of mitosis. The chromosomes are represented in red and the mitotic spindle is represented in green. BO ! A. The cell is stuck in metaphase because a checkpoint has been activated. Why was the checkpoint triggered? B. What could have happened to this cell without this checkpoint? There are three main checkpoints during the cell cycle. One checkpoint occurs at the end of G1 phase and involves the protein p53. If p53...
You are a studying the progression of cells through the cell cycle. You are particularly interested in the role of the APC, which in a ubiquitin E3 ligase, in the control of the metaphase cyclin (cyclin B) and the timing of events. To look at this you start by synchronizing your cells in G1 and examining the levels of Cyclin B over time. The APC usually works on cyclin B during anaphase. RBX57 is a substrate for Cylcin B/CDK2. Given...

2. Match the phase to the description. NOTE: this question might look a little different on the Moodle activity. Read carefully. Phase Hanne Description of Events in the Life of a Cell • Anaphase of muitosis A. The combined phases of GI/Go+S+G2 • Gl phase • G2 phase B. The cell is metabolically active; the cell duplicates argumelles and cytosolie components; the cell size starts to increase the cell makes proteins which will soon be used in DNA synthesis C....
In animal cells, a characteristic feature during cytokinesis is the formation of something called the (26), while in plants a characteristic feature that forms is the Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus, and so they do not perform their chromosome and divide with a process known as (28), and simply duplicate Different cells divide at different rates because they vary with respect to regulation of their (30) . This "internal clock" has specific 031) that essentially signal the cell to...
