The Cell Cycle Control System01:28

The Cell Cycle Control System

5.6K
The cell cycle regulation directs how a cell proceeds from one phase to the next and begins mitosis. The cell cycle control system includes intracellular regulatory molecules and external triggers. They provide "stop" or "advance" signals and operate at specific cell cycle stages termed checkpoints to ensure that a particular process is completed before the cell advances to the next phase.
Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) are the primary cell cycle regulators and...

The Cell Cycle Control System

14.3K
The cell cycle is an organized set of events that leads the cell to divide into two daughter cells, each containing chromosomes identical to the parent cell. It is the cell cycle that leads to the formation of an entire organism from a single-cell zygote. Besides, cell division also functions in the renewal or repair of tissues in adult multicellular eukaryotes. For example, in the bone marrow, the stem cells divide to form new blood cells. Although essential for several functions, cell...

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle01:30

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle

6.9K
The ovarian cycle is meticulously regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. This cycle orchestrates the release of a mature oocyte, essential for reproduction.
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle.  At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...

What is the Cell Cycle?

10.5K
The cell cycle refers to the sequence of events occurring throughout a typical cell’s life. In eukaryotic cells, the somatic cell cycle has two stages: the interphase and the mitotic phase. During interphase, the cell grows, performs its basic metabolic functions, copies its DNA, and prepares for mitotic cell division. Then, during mitosis and cytokinesis, the cell divides its nuclear and cytoplasmic materials, respectively. This generates two daughter cells that are identical to the...

Mitogens and the Cell Cycle02:38

Mitogens and the Cell Cycle

8.1K
Mitogens and their receptors play a crucial role in controlling the progression of the cell cycle. However, the loss of mitogenic control over cell division leads to tumor formation. Therefore, mitogens and mitogen receptors play an important role in cancer research. For instance, the epidermal growth factor (EGF) - a type of mitogen and its transmembrane receptor (EGFR), decides the fate of the cell's proliferation. When EGF binds to EGFR, a member of the ErbB family of tyrosine kinase...

Area of Science:

  • Cell Biology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Greatwall (GWL) kinase regulates PP2A-B55 phosphatase activity, essential for mitotic progression.
  • ARPP19 and ENSA are phosphorylated by GWL, inhibiting PP2A-B55 and influencing DNA replication.
  • The specific roles of ARPP19 and ENSA in cell division, particularly in mammals, remain largely uncharacterized.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the distinct roles of ARPP19 and ENSA in mouse cell division and embryonic development.
  • To elucidate the functional significance of the GWL/ARPP19/PP2A-B55 and GWL/ENSA/PP2A-B55 pathways in mammalian systems.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized conditional knockout mouse models to generate Arpp19 and Ensa deficient cells.
  • Analyzed mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) viability and cell cycle progression.
  • Assessed protein dephosphorylation patterns during mitosis in knockout MEFs.

Main Results:

  • Arpp19 is essential for mouse embryogenesis, whereas Ensa is not.
  • Arpp19 ablation severely impairs MEF viability by disrupting mitotic protein dephosphorylation, indicating a critical role in cell division.
  • ENSA expression does not rescue the Arpp19 knockout phenotype, confirming ARPP19's unique necessity.
  • Arpp19 knockout does not affect S phase, contrasting with Ensa gene ablation.

Conclusions:

  • Arpp19 plays a critical, non-redundant role in mammalian cell division and embryonic development.
  • Arpp19 and Ensa exhibit distinct, non-interchangeable functions in controlling cell cycle progression during mouse embryogenesis.
  • The study clarifies the specific contributions of ARPP19 and ENSA to the GWL/PP2A-B55 regulatory axis in mammals.
