分裂酵母細胞サイクル制御遺伝子の変異は,DNA複製に対するミトーシスの依存性を廃止する
Cell
|February 23, 1990
まとめ
分裂酵母におけるミトーシスの侵入はDNA合成に依存しているが,このリンクは特定の"小"変異体で断たれている. これは,cdc25+の活性化には,DNA複製のような細胞サイクルイベントが必要であることを示唆しています.
科学分野:
- 細胞サイクル調節 細胞サイクル調節
- 分子生物学は分子生物学である.
- イースト遺伝学 イースト遺伝学
背景:
- 分裂酵母におけるミトーシスへの侵入は,p34cdc2キナーゼによって調節され,cdc25+ (活性化剤) とwee1+ (抑制剤) によって調節されます.
- "wee"ミュータントは,規制規制を回避したため,ミトーシスのタイミングが変化している.
研究 の 目的:
- 分裂酵母におけるミトーシスエントリーにおけるDNA合成依存性の役割を調査する.
- cdc25+ または wee1+ コントロールの回避が,この依存性にどのように影響するか判断する.
主な方法:
- 変化したcdc2+またはcdc25+活性を持つ"wee"変異体の分析.
- DNA合成に関連したミトーシス進行の観察.
主要な成果:
- cdc25+ コントロールがバイパスされた (cdc2+ 変異またはcdc25+ 過剰生産による) "wee" 変異体では,DNA 合成に対するミトーシス依存の喪失が観察されました.
- wee1+コントロールをバイパスすると,DNA合成への依存は維持された.
結論:
- cdc25+の活性化には,DNA合成を含む,前回の細胞サイクルイベントの完了が求められているようです.
- このメカニズムは,p34cdc2キナーゼの活性化と以前のイベントの完了を結びつけ,早期の胚にはミトーシスのためのDNA複製依存性が欠けていることを説明する可能性がある.

Negative Regulator Molecules
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.
DNA Damage can Stall the Cell Cycle
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...
The Cell Cycle Control System
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...
Meiosis vs. Mitosis
Cell division is necessary for growth and reproduction in organisms. Mitosis aids cell growth and development by dividing somatic cells. In contrast, meiosis causes the division of germ cells and plays an essential role in sexual reproduction. Due to their unique functional requirements, mitosis and meiosis differ from each other in multiple aspects.
Before the start of mitosis and meiosis I, the cell synthesizes DNA, resulting in two homologous copies of each chromosome. DNA synthesis is...

The Cell Cycle Control System
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.
