DNA Damage can Stall the Cell Cycle02:36

DNA Damage can Stall the Cell Cycle

10.0K
In response to DNA damage, cells can pause the cell cycle to assess and repair the breaks. However, the cell must check the DNA at certain critical stages during the cell cycle. If the cell cycle pauses before DNA replication, the cells will contain twice the amount of DNA. On the other hand, if cells arrest after DNA replication but before mitosis, they will contain four times the normal amount of DNA. With a host of specialized proteins at their disposal,cells must use the right protein at...

cAMP-dependent Protein Kinase Pathways01:25

cAMP-dependent Protein Kinase Pathways

8.3K
Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) is an essential second messenger that activates protein kinase A (PKA) and regulates various biological processes. A single epinephrine molecule binds to GPCR and activates several heterotrimeric G proteins, each stimulating multiple adenylyl cyclase, amplifying the signal, and synthesizing large numbers of cAMP molecules. Small changes in cAMP concentration affect PKA activity. The binding of four cAMP molecules induces a conformational change in PKA,...

Restarting Stalled Replication Forks

6.3K
DNA replication is initiated at sites containing predefined DNA sequences known as origins of replication. DNA is unwound at these sites by the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) helicase and other factors such as Cdc45 and the associated GINS complex.The unwound single strands are protected by replication protein A (RPA) until DNA polymerase starts synthesizing DNA at the 5’ end of the strand in the same direction as the replication fork. To prevent the replication fork from falling apart,...

S-Cdk Initiates DNA Replication

5.3K
The cell cycle is a series of events leading to DNA duplication followed by the division of cell content to form two daughter cells. The cell cycle progresses in four stages—the cell increases in size (gap 1 or G1-phase), duplicates its DNA (synthesis or S-phase), prepares to divide (gap 2 or G2-phase), and divides (mitosis or M-phase).
Two states at the origin of replication
In eukaryotes, the initiation of replication occurs at many sites on the chromosomes, called the origins of...

Anaphase Promoting Complex00:50

Anaphase Promoting Complex

3.3K
The stepwise destruction of specific proteins is necessary for the progression and completion of the cell cycle. Such proteins are ubiquitinated by ubiquitin ligases and then subsequently destroyed by the proteasome. The SCF (Skp1/Cullin/F-box) and the anaphase-promoting complex (APC) are two important ubiquitin ligases involved in cell cycle progression. While SCF is active throughout the cell cycle, APC gets activated during metaphase to anaphase transition. Cdc20 or Cdh1 binds to APC and...

Area of Science:

  • Cell Biology
  • Developmental Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • The Hippo signaling pathway is crucial for regulating tissue growth and organ development.
  • Yorkie (Yki), a transcriptional coactivator, promotes gene expression driving growth.
  • Yki function is enhanced by chromatin modifiers that increase DNA accessibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if DNA replication-associated changes in chromatin accessibility affect Yki function.
  • To explore the role of the chromatin assembly complex-1 (CAF-1) in regulating Hippo pathway activity.

Main Methods:

  • Depletion of CAF-1 in the wing imaginal epithelium of Drosophila.
  • Analysis of Hippo pathway target gene expression.
  • Assessment of Yki association with target DNA sites.
  • Investigation of DNA replication dependence of target gene expression.

Main Results:

  • CAF-1 depletion increased Hippo pathway target gene expression without affecting other genes.
  • Yki exhibited increased association with target sites upon CAF-1 depletion.
  • Misregulation of target gene expression was Yki-dependent.
  • Increased target gene expression was dependent on DNA replication, with reduced nucleosome density at target sites.

Conclusions:

  • Nucleosome assembly by CAF-1 competes with Yki for binding to Hippo pathway targets post-DNA replication.
  • Cell cycle progression and Hippo pathway target expression are interconnected.
  • These findings offer insights into the Hippo pathway's role in normal and abnormal tissue growth.
