The S-phase cell cycle kinase S-CDK phosphorylates Cdc6 (which targets Cdc6 for degradation). How does this plus the S-phase regulation of binding help restrict DNA replication to S-phase AND prevent re-initiation?
The CDK or cyclin dependent kinase phosphorylates the cdc6 and degrades it. The CDK cyclin is known for preventing the replication of the DNA to the S-phase and prevents re-initiation. The Cdc6 protein is essential for copying the DNA of the cell before the division of the cell and hence helps with the DNA replication process. It helps with the formation of pre-replication complex. The CDK kinase is known to prevent the re-initiation of the DNA and does so by many mechanisms which includes reducing the activity of Cdc6. When the CDK kinase is presence, it does not allow the Cdc6 to bind to the origin and hence the re-replication is prevented. As the CDK kinase is present, it tends to degrade the Cdc6 and hence it is does not bind to the origin and hence DNA replication cannot be initiated. With the help of the Cdk cyclin, it tends to phosphorylate the proteins which are essential for DNA replication and hence helps in initiating DNA synthesis.

Undergoing two rounds of DNA replication in a single S-phase is lethal to the cell. One of the ways that cells help prevent “re-replication” is by ensuring that pre-RCs do not re-form on origins of replication more than once per cell cycle, thus they suppress pre-RC formation after G1-phase. What are the mechanisms by which the cells ensure that pre-RCs are not re-assembled during S-phase or beyond?
Which of the following does NOT correctly match a meiotic protein with its function? Monopolin is a protein required to prevent re-replication of the DNA after meiosis I. Rec8 is a specialized cohesin subunit important for the stepwise loss of cohesins during meiotic divisions. Ime2 phosphorylates and inactivates Cdh1, allowing S phase and M phase cyclins to accumulate. Ime2 is a protein kinase that phosphorylates transcription factors whose target genes are required for S phase.

Checkpoints are pauses between phases of the cell cycle during which a cell determines whether or not it is ready to proceed to the next phase. For example, because a cell with damaged DNA can lead to cancer if it is allowed to divide, it usually arrests the cell cycle until the damage can be repaired. At which phase(s) of the cell cycle would a cell normally check for the integrity of its DNA? See Section 2.3 (Page 17) View...
