Phases of the Cell Cycle Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase
Cell Cycle Progression: Requirements G2-M Cell Division G1-S
Cell Cycle Control Requirements: Cyclin:Cdk Complex Activated Protein Kinase
Expression Levels of Cyclins Oscillate
Various cell cycle phase-Cdks and Cyclins
Cdk Activation and Inactivation M-Cdk CAK (Cdk Activating Kinase)
Cdks can be inhibited while in a complex with a Cyclin Cyclin Dependent Kinase Inhibitor (CKI)
Control of Cyclin levels During the Cell Cycle Consequences: Decrease M-Cyclin, inactivate M-Cdk, and allow cytokinesis (cell division) to proceed.
Control of CKI (p27, p21, p16) levels During the Cell Cycle Consequences: Decrease CKI, increase Cdk/Cyclin Activity, and allow cell cycle progression.
