Briefly describe the cell cycle, its checkpoints, and the general proteins required to move past each checkpoint. For each cell cycle checkpoint, be sure to describe what the cell is "checking for" and how this "check" occurs, along with the result if the checkpoint cannot be passed. Your answer should also include a description of the structure of MPF, its regulation, and its general targets or functions. Be sure to include any accessory molecules or proteins involved in regulation of MPF, while also describing the process by which MPF is formed and activated. In this answer, you should also choose two proteins involved in the cell cycle, which, if mutated, will cause cancer. Describe these proteins and their normal functions, and then show how a mutation in these proteins will result in cancer.

Briefly describe the cell cycle, its checkpoints, and the general proteins required to move past each checkpoint. For each cell cycle checkpoint, be sure to describe what the cell is
"checking for" and how this "check" occurs, along with the result if the checkpoint cannot be passed. Your answer should also include a description of the structure of MPF, its
regulation, and its general targets or functions. Be sure to include any accessory molecules or proteins involved in regulation of MPF, while also describing the process by which
MPF is formed and activated.
