Regulación del ciclo celular de las histonas de levadura mRNA
Cell
|May 1, 1981
Resumen
Los niveles de ARNm histona en la levadura están estrechamente controlados durante el ciclo celular, alcanzando su punto máximo temprano en la fase S y degradándose rápidamente tras la inhibición de la síntesis de ADN. Esta regulación asegura una división celular coordinada.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
- Biología celular Biología celular.
- Genética La genética.
Sus antecedentes:
- Las histonas son cruciales para el empaquetado y la replicación del ADN.
- Comprender la regulación del ARNm histónico es clave para comprender el control del ciclo celular.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar la expresión dependiente del ciclo celular de los ARNm histónicos (H2A, H2B, H3, H4) en la levadura.
- Determinar la relación entre la acumulación de ARNm histónica y la síntesis de ADN.
Principales métodos:
- Sincronización de las células de levadura mediante elutriación centrífuga y factor alfa.
- Cuantificación de los niveles de ARNm histónica a través de la hibridación y la traducción in vitro.
- Análisis de la acumulación de precursores de ARNm.
Principales resultados:
- El ARNm de la histona se detecta principalmente en las células de la fase S.
- La acumulación de ARNm histónica precede a la síntesis máxima de ADN y disminuye al final de la fase S.
- La inhibición de la síntesis del ADN causa una rápida degradación del ARNm histónico, más corta que su vida media normal.
Conclusiones:
- Los niveles de ARNm histona en la levadura están estrictamente regulados en los niveles transcripcionales y posttranscripcionales a lo largo de la división celular.
- La regulación del ARNm histónico está coordinada con la replicación del ADN.
- Ambos genes H2B de la levadura se expresan y regulan de una manera dependiente del ciclo celular.

Yeast Signaling
18.5K
Yeasts are single-celled organisms, but unlike bacteria, they are eukaryotes (cells with a nucleus). Cell signaling in yeast is similar to signaling in other eukaryotic cells. A ligand, such as a protein or a small molecule released from a yeast cell, attaches to a receptor on the cell surface. The binding stimulates second-messenger kinases to activate or inactivate transcription factors that further regulate gene expression. Many of the yeast intracellular signaling cascades have similar...

Cells Coordinate Growth and Proliferation
5.3K
Cell size is a significant factor impacting cellular design, function, and fitness. There exists some internal coordination by which cells double their masses before division, thus, achieving homeostasis. Coordination between cell growth and proliferation depends on the checkpoints in between cell cycle phases. Loss of coordination or failure in the checkpoint mechanism can drive the cell to uncontrolled growth and loss of cellular function. Like dividing cells that coordinate cellular growth,...

Negative Regulator Molecules
38.9K
Positive regulators allow a cell to advance through cell cycle checkpoints. Negative regulators have an equally important role as they terminate a cell’s progression through the cell cycle—or pause it—until the cell meets specific criteria.

Molecular Factors Affecting Cell Division
4.1K
Several external and internal factors influence the initiation and inhibition of cell division. For instance, the death of nearby cells or the release of human growth hormone (hGH) promotes cell division. In contrast, lack of hGH or crowding of cells can inhibit cell division.
Several proteins function as internal regulators to ensure each cell cycle stage is completed faithfully before proceeding to the next. Regulator molecules may act directly or influence the activity or production of other...

The Cell Cycle Control System
6.4K
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.

The Cell Cycle Control System
14.9K
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...
