"Agent V" is the name of an anticancer (chemotherapy) drug. This drug works against cancer cells by inhibiting the formation of microtubules in sensitive cells. Consider a cell that is sensitive to agent V (in other words, agent V is effective at stopping growth of this cell). Based on this information, agent V would cause the cell to be frozen at which of the major cell cycle checkpoints (G1, G2 or M checkpoint)? Explain your answer in 2- 4 sentences.

Consider a cell that is sensitive to agent V (in other words, agent V is effective at stopping growth of this cell). Based on this information, agent V would cause the cell to be frozen at which of the major cell cycle checkpoints (G1, G2 or M checkpoint)? ExplainList and briefly describe three major cell cycle checkpoints. For each checkpoint, predict the consequences if the checkpoint fails to work properly.BPA is a chemical compound that has historically been used in themanufacture of plastic products. However, cells often mistake BPAcompounds for hormones that accelerate the cell cycle. Because ofthis, BPA is associated with an increased risk of certain cancers. Question: How might BPA interact with the cell cycle and its checkpoints?
- In the following study, the investigators wanted to determine the role of cyclin B in controlling the cell cycle. Earlier researchers had found that extracts made from frog eggs (Xenopus) contained all the necessary proteins and machinery required for DNA replication. This included proteins that regulated the mitosis promoting factor (MPF). At the time of this study, cyclin B was show to affect MPF activity and the research group wanted to test using Xenopus egg extract in an assay. In Figure 1 (a) MPF activity was tested for its ability to phosphorylate Histone (H1) in sperm chromatin over a certain period of time. Additionally, the cyclin B concentration in the extract was measured. In figure 1b, the extract was tested after treatment with RNase which degraded only the mRNA and not RNA or FRNA in the extract. Knowing that cyclin B is a short-lived protein, why do you suppose the graph shows the results you see in figure 1b?The process of cellular reproduction or divisions is a heavily regulated process for a number of different reasons. In the case of the eukaryotic cell there are a number of different checkpoints that a cell must pass before it can continue on. Please explain what those checkpoints are looking for and where those checkpoints are in the cell cycle. If a cell doesn’t pass any of these checkpoints what happens to those cells?During cell division cycle, cells need to monitor the process of DNA replication and segregation of replicated DNA so that these processes are error-free. Some potential errors that could occur include incomplete DNA replication, DNA damage in genome, and uneven separation of replicated genome. These mechanisms that cells used to monitor these processes are referred as the "cell cycle checkpoint, which can control specific Cdk activity to regulate the progression of cell cycle. For the following checkpoint mechanisms, indicate which Cdk activity is attenuated? Also indicate one of the key proteins or protein complexes involved in the following checkpoints. a) DNA damage checkpoint during S-phase b) Mitotic checkpoint during M-phase
- BPA is a chemical compound that has historically been used in themanufacture of plastic products. However, cells often mistake BPAcompounds for hormones that accelerate the cell cycle. Because ofthis, BPA is associated with an increased risk of certain cancers. Question: Why do you think that very small concentrations of BPA mighthave a large effect on the cell?Shown here are two HeLa cancer cells that are just completing cytokinesis. Explain how the cell division of cancer cellslike these is misregulated. Identify genetic and other changesthat might have caused these cells to escape normal cell cycleregulationWhich is true for cancer cells: 1) Cell death occurs after a determined number of cell divisions 2) Contact with other cells reduces chance of cell division 3) Cell division occurs in the presence of stop signals.
- How does MPF allow a cell to pass the G2 phase checkpointand enter mitosis? (See Figure 12.16.)(Q) During M-phase of cell cycle, active M-Cdk phosphorylates several target proteins in order to regulate their activities. Identify TWO specific examples of such target proteins that are phosphorylated by active M-Cdk, and explain how each of them affects the cell (i.e. their respective biological significance). i) target protein phosphorylated: _______________________________ Biological Significance: ii) target protein phosphorylated: _______________________________ Biological Significance:In the absence of cdc25 cells would not be able to undergo mitosis.
