1. 1 The Cell Cycle “Mitosis” Packet #33 Chapter #13 Friday, November 18, 2016

2. Introduction Cell Cycle An ordered sequence of events in the life of a dividing eukaryotic cell and is a type of asexual reproduction. The contents of the parent’s cell nucleus is duplicated and an orderly separation of the cell’s contents is separated into two new, identical nuclei. Two daughter cells are produced the parent cell.

3. Cell Cycle Three General Stages Interphase G1 phase Gap phase #1 S phase DNA synthesis DNA is duplicated DNA Replication More to come later. G2 phase Gap Phase #2 M phase Mitotic phase PMAT Cytokensis Friday, November 18, 2016 3

4. Interphase 11/18/2016 4

5. Interphase Accounts for about 90%** of the cell cycle G1 Phase Gap Phase I Cell grows in size S Phase Synthesis Phase Copies of chromosomes and DNA are made DNA Replication G2 Phase Gap Phase II Cell grows in size Friday, November 18, 2016 5

6. Mitotic Phase 11/18/2016 6

7. Mitotic Phase (Mitosis)—Prophase Prophase Longest of mitotic phase Chromosomes condense and become visible Chromosomes, once duplicated, are called two sister chromatids Two chromatids (sister chromatids) are formed by one chromosome Mitotic spindle assembles Friday, November 18, 2016 7

8. Mitotic Phase (Mitosis)— Metaphase Chromosomes align along the middle (equatorial plane) of the cell Microtubules attach chromosomes to opposite ends of the spindle Friday, November 18, 2016 8

9. Mitotic Phase (Mitosis)—Anaphase Anaphase Chromosomes are pulled to the poles of the cell Sister chromatids are separated Centromeres divide Friday, November 18, 2016 9

10. Mitotic Phase (Mitosis)—Telophase Telophase Nuclei (nucleus) and, nuclear envelope, reforms in daughter cells 11/18/2016 10

11. Cell Cycle—Cytokinesis 11/18/2016 11

12. Cell Cycle—Cytokinesis Cytokinesis Both daughter cells are separated and two distinctive cells are formed. Daughter cells are pinched off from each other Friday, November 18, 2016 12

14. Review I Friday, November 18, 2016 14

15. Review II Friday, November 18, 2016 15

16. Review III Interphase DNA is duplicated Prophase Chromosomes condense Anaphase Sister chromatids separate Telophase Nuclei and nuclear envelope reform Cyctokinesis Separation of two daughter cells Friday, November 18, 2016 16

17. Review IV One cell division resulting in two daughter cells Chromosome number, per nucleus, remains the same Haploid results in haploid Diploid results in diploid No crossing over More on this in meiosis Friday, November 18, 2016 17

18. Control of the Cell Cycle 11/18/2016 18

19. Control I The steps of the cell cycle must occur in sequence and before the process can proceed to the next step, a checkpoint must be passed. There are checkpoints for Cell size Determination of whether DNA replication is complete These checkpoints are also regulated by various means Growth factors MPF M phase promoting factor Signals from other cells Protein kinases Cyclin-dependent protein kinases (Cdks) 11/18/2016 19

20. p53 Gene During the S phase, if the DNA is damaged, the p53 gene becomes activated and produces the p53 protein. The p53 gene protein stimulates transcription of the gene (p21 gene) that codes for a Cdk inhibitor protein. The p53 gene protein behaves as a transcription factor. The Cdk inhibitor protein (p21 inhibitor protein) binds onto the S phase cyclin-Cdk complex and inactivates them. Stopping the cell cycle. 11/18/2016 20

21. Signals from Other Cells Unicellular organisms, such as bacteria and yeasts, grow and divide as fast as they can. Depends on the amount of nutrients available Specialized eukaryotic cells, of a multicellular organism, must have their proliferation controlled so that individual cells only divide when necessary. They divide to allow growth or to replace damaged/old cells. 11/18/2016 21

22. Signals from Other Cells II Retinoblastoma protein (Rb protein) is ONE example of a protein that keeps these cells from dividing however they want. Binds onto a gene and prevents transcription. Growth factors are used to override the “brakes.” Once they have bound to the enzyme linked receptors, tyrosine kinase receptors, a pathway is initiated to allow the cells to replicate Allowing the removal of the Rb protein. 11/18/2016 22

23. Survival Factors Survival factors allow cells to “survive” and if cells are deprived of them, cells will then activate intracellular suicide programs. Programmed cell death Apoptosis How may programmed cell death be useful? Fetal development The spade-like structure of the hand/foot leads to the development of hand and feet structure due to the death cells in particular areas. Metamorphosis Tadpole  frog Prevents necrosis 11/18/2016 23

24. Apoptosis Apoptosis occurs because of a series of enzymatic reactions carried out by proteases. 11/18/2016 24

25. Cancer Cells 11/18/2016 25

26. Cancer Cells Cancer cells develop because of mutations that directly/indirectly impact the “proliferation control system.” Faulty control system 11/18/2016 26

27. Cancer Cells II Proliferation genes code for proteins that promote cell division. Anti-proliferation genes, such as the p53 gene, code for proteins that stop cell division. Cdk MPF Mutation in the proliferation genes, the genes that promote cell division, causes the cell to divide “non- stop”--hence a cancer growth or tumor is formed Mutant proliferation genes are called oncogenes Cancer promoting genes.
