Overview of the cell cycle
Sinh học tế bào – CNSH 3
The cell cycle: cells duplicate their
contents and divide
Sinh học tế bào – CNSH 4
The cell cycle may be divided into
4 phases
Sinh học tế bào – CNSH 5
The cell cycle triggers essential
processes (DNA replication, mitosis)
Sinh học tế bào – CNSH 6
Progression of the cell cycle is regulated
by feedback from intracellular events
Sinh học tế bào – CNSH 7
Cell-cycle control is similar
in all eukaryotes
The proteins of the cell-
cycle control system have
been so well conserved
over the course of
evolution

Cyclin-dependent protein kinases drive
progression through the cell cycle
The protein kinases at the core of the cell-
cycle control system are present in
proliferating cells throughout the cell cycle.
They are activated, however, only at
appropriate times in the cycle, after which
they are quickly inactivated.
Cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) are inactive
unless bound to cyclins
Active complex phosphorylates downstream
targets
Cyclin helps to direct Cdks to the target
proteins
Sinh học tế bào – CNSH 9
Cellular levels of (mitotic) M-cyclin
rises and falls during the cell cycle
M-cyclin levels are low during interphase but gradually
increases to a peak level during mitosis
M-cdk activity is, likewise, low in interphase but increases in
mitosis
Sinh học tế bào – CNSH 10
Different cyclincdk complexes trigger
different steps in the cell cycle
Sinh học tế bào – CNSH 11
The abundance of cyclins (and the
activity of Cdks) is regulated by protein
degradation
M-cyclin becomes covalently modified by addition of multiple copies of
ubiquitin at the end of mitosis
Ubiqutination is mediated by the anaphase promoting complex (APC)
Ubiquitination marks cyclins for destruction by large proteolytic machines
called proteasome
Sinh học tế bào – CNSH 12
Cdks are also regulated by
cycles of phosphorylation
and dephosphorylation
Sinh học tế bào – CNSH 13
As soon as the M cyclincdk complex is formed, it is phosphorylated at
two adjacent sites by an inhibitory protein kinase called Wee1.
This modification keeps M-cdk in an inactive state until these phosphates
are removed by an activating protein phosphatase called cdc25.
Cdk activates itself indirectly via a
positive feedback loop

Checkpoints ensure the cell cycle
proceeds without errors
Sinh học tế bào – CNSH 16
Mitogens
stimulate cell
proliferation is
by inhibiting
the Rb protein

Checkpoint:
DNA damage
arrests the cell
cycle in G

Sinh học tế bào – CNSH 18
S-Cdk triggers DNA replication - its
destruction ensures this happens
once per cell cycle
Sinh học tế bào – CNSH 19
Checkpoint: spindle assembly
Mitosis must not complete unless all the
chromosomes are attached to the mitotic spindle
Mitotic checkpoint delays metaphase to
anaphase transition until all chromosomes are
attached
Prolonged activation of the checkpoint -->cell
death
Mechanism of many anti-cancer drugs
