Let's say that an experiment had no disruption to kinetochores and you are able to inactivate the CDC 14 phosphatase, which acts to remove phosphate groups from substrates that were previously phosphorylated by active MPF. What effect, if any, would this have on (i) the duration (length) of the mitotic phase, (ii) the timing of cyclin B’s appearance or disappearance, and (iii) the period of time for which MPF is active? Briefly explain your reasoning
What physiological differences between S. pombe and S. cerevisiae make them useful yet complementary tools for studying the molecular mechanisms involved in cell cycle regulation and control?
There are several main model systems through which the first set of major breakthroughs in the understanding of cell cycle control was made. Indicate whether each of the following statements is likely to be true or false for this initial phase of discovery.
The frog egg system was critical for developing genetic screens for identifying genes important for cell cycle regulation.
Cytoplasm extract from plant cells was used to identify factors important for cell cycle progression.
Temperature-sensitive mutants are critical for identifying genes essential for cell division.

- The cell-cycle control system is based on a connected series of biochemical switches which possess many important features that increase the accuracy and reliability of cell-cycle progression. Discussarrow_forwardI need help woth this question pleasearrow_forwardTo identify genes controlling the cell cycle in budding yeast, a genetic screen was carried out. In this screen, haploid yeast cells were exposed to a DNA damaging agent to introduce random mutations in the genome. By culturing cells at an elevated temperature (e.g. 37 degrees), where many mutated genes lose their function, scientists identified yeast mutants that showed growth defects and arrest at specific stages of the cell cycle (e.g. in mitosis with large buds). In this screen, mutants of the cyclin-dependent kinase were identified, but not mutants of cyclins. Explain the reason for this outcome.arrow_forward

The figure below depicts data from one such study. The investigators did preliminary work to produce populations of cells that were synchronized in various stages of the cell cycle (G1, S, or G2 in the examples shown below). They then fused the cells in different combinations and monitored subsequent events in each of the nuclei. For purposes of this question, we will pay particular attention to what occurred in the nucleus that came from the cell in G1. In one experiment (I), cells in the G1 and S phases were fused. That event caused the nucleus from the G1 cell to very quickly enter the S phase (sooner than it would otherwise have done so). In contrast, in a second experiment…arrow_forward

Why is it important for the centrosome to duplicate during G1-G2 (interphase) before M phase? The kinetochores serve as a link between the sister chromatids and the microtubules attached to the mitotic spindle. a) How are microtubules still able to exhibit dynamic instability after they are bound to the sister chromatids and b) why is this important to mitosis? As the name suggests, the Anaphase-promoting-complex (APC), promotes the 4th phase of mitosis by separating the sister chromatids so they can travel to separate poles of the cell, and prevents them from being re-zipped together. Describe how APC does these two things (Hint: one involves M-cyclin and the other involves…arrow_forwardIf chemical signals in the cytoplasm control the progression of a cell to the M phase of the cell cycle, then fusion of a cell in G1 with a cell in early M phase would most likely result in the (A) replication of chromosomes only in the G1 cell (B) exiting of both cells from the cell cycle and into the G0 phase (C) condensation of chromatin in preparation of nuclear division in both cells (D) transfer of organelles from the G1 cell to the cell in the M phase Please select the correct option.
