| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Kinase | Adds a phosphate |
| cyclins and CDKs | the "cell cycle check" system |
| Transcription Factors | required to turn on a gene |
| p16 | A CDK inhibitor; specifically, it's a competitive inhibitor of CDK 4/6 |
| Cyclin D | protein coenzyme for CDK 4/6 |
| CDK 4/6 | the CDK that binds to cyclin D |
| Rb protein | Transcription factor inhibitor |
| TFE2F | transcription factor for cyclin E |
| Cyclin E | the protein for CDK 2 that allows transition from G1 to S |
| CDK 2 | the CDK that binds to cyclin E and cyclin A |
| p27 | another CDK inhibitor (like p16) that is targeted by the CDK 2-cyclin E complex |
| cyclin A | the protein that partners with CDK 2 to promote the S phase |
| state of CDK 4/6 in early G1 | p16 (a competitive inhibitor) is bound, so CDK4/6 cannot bind cyclin D. It is inactive. |
| state of Rb in early g1 | Rb is bound to TFE2F |
| state of TFE2F in early g1 | Rb inhibits TFE2F, so it is inactive. |
| what event starts the g1 checkpoint? | cell growth factors trigger cyclin D synthesis |
| how is CDK4/6 activated? | cyclin D out-competes p16 and binds to CDK4/6 |
| what is the job of the activated CDK 4/6 w/Cyclin D complex? | phosphorylates Rb |
| what happens when Rb gets phosphorylated by CDK 4/6 | it releases TFE2F |
| what does TFE2F do once it is released? | it becomes active and makes cyclin E (turns on the gene) |
| what complex forms after cyclin E is made? | CDK 2 w/cyclin E |
| what are the two main targets of the CDK 2 w/cyclin E complex? | it phosphorylates Rb (this is the activation step that locks it off) and it phosphorylates p27 |
| what happens when p27 is phosphorylated? | it tags p27 w/ubiquitin (for destruction) |
| what is the result of destroying p27? | it promotes cyclin A production |
| what complex takes over to promote S phase? | CDK 2 w/ cyclin A |
| how does CDK 2 w/cyclin A promote S phase? | by regulation of transcription factors and regulation of per-replication complexes. |
| p16 binds CDK4/6= | inactive CDK4/6 |
| Rb binds TFE2F | inactive TFE2F |
| what initiates the 'go' signal? | growth factors trigger cyclin D production |
| what is the first step of CDK4/6 activation? | cyclin D out-competes p16 |
| what happens after cyclin D out-competes p16? | answer CDK4/6 activates |
| what does actice CDK 4/6 do to the Rb-TFE2F complex? | Phosphorylates Rb, which releases TFE2F --> active |
| what is the immediate action of active TFE2F? | active TFE2F transcribes Cyclin E |
| what complex forms after cyclin E is transcribed? | cyclin E binds CDK2-->active. |
| what are the two targets of the cyclin E binds CDK2=active complex? | phosphorylate Rb and phosphorylate p27 |
| what is the result of phosphorylating p27? | it uniquitinates cyclin D |
| what is the result of ubiquitination in the transition to S? | promotes cyclin A production |
| what is the final push into S phase? | active cyclin A CDK2 promotes TFs (transcription factors) for DNA replication and S phase. |
