Outline Overview of the cell cycle Cell cycle regulation – fundamental concepts Cancer as a fundamental disruption in cell cycle regulation
What is the basic function of the cell cycle? Accurately duplicate the vast amount of DNA in chromosomes Segregate the copies precisely into genetically identical daughter cells Figure 17-2 Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th Edition
The phases of the cell cycle Figure Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th Edition G1 – gap between M and S phases S – DNA replication G2 – gap between S and M phases M - mitosis Interphase ~23 hours M phase ~1 hour Why are gap phases needed?
What critical features are needed for proper guidance through the cell cycle? Figure Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th Edition
A clock, or timer, that turns on each event at a specific time A mechanism for initiating events in the correct order A mechanism to ensure that each event is triggered only once per cycle Binary (on/off) switches that trigger events in a complete, irreversible fashion Backup mechanisms to ensure that the cycle can work properly even when parts of the system malfunction Adaptability so that the system's behavior can be modified to suit specific cell types or environmental conditions Figure Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th Edition What critical features are needed for proper guidance through the cell cycle?
The cell cycle is primarily regulated by cyclically activated protein kinases Figure 17-15, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th Edition
