Overview of the cell cycle

”Checkpoints” in the cell cycle
5
Cdk-cyclin complexes govern progression through the checkpoints(simplified view)
These proteins are regulated by 1. Kinase-mediated protein phosphorylation (lecture 14);2. Ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis (lecture 18).
Cdk is deactivated by
dephosphorylationwhen the cyclin is
destroyed
P
Cdk isitself activated by phosphorylation
a cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk):
phosphorylates many proteins
a cyclin:required for kinase activity

6
Cdk-cyclin complex is a “mitosis promoting factor” (MPF) also assayed by injecting into frog eggs

7
Yeast uses the same Cdk at
both checkpoints;
mammals use different Cdks
at each checkpoint.

A yeast whose own Cdk is
mutated, and therefore
fails to divide, can be
rescued by expressing
human Cdk.
the cell cycle machinery
arose > 109 y ago !
Lectures 27, 28, 29 will
concern evolution.

Some growth factors instruct cells to continue in the cell cycle

abnormally active GPCR
But many molecules in this pathway can mutate to form oncogenes

A final stage, cell death, is also regulated by multiple mechanisms

dying nerve cells
Some autistic people have abnormally large brains. There is speculation about insufficient cell death.
12
After Several Cell Cycle Divisions, most Cells Eventually Differentiate . . .
13
. . . But Undifferentiated Cells Called “Stem Cells” Persist in some Adult Tissues

Undifferentiated Cell
14
Stem Cells can Both Differentiate
and Continue Cycling (Self-Renewal)
15
Stem Cells can Generate Several Types of Differentiated Cells

As noted in slide 13, Stem Cells Exist in both Embryos and Adults

Theoretical example: Cell Transplant Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease
Approaches to Stem Cell Therapies For Neurological Disease
1. Transplantation of neural stem cells
Donor: fetal brain
Advantages Disadvantages
25
What Organism Should Supply the Stem Cells?
People
Animals
Lawyers

True Embryonic Stem Cells Can Generate All Cell Types in the Body
Tissue-specific stem cells:
Germ-line

1998: Human ES Cells

Contribution of ES Cells to Internal Tissues in Chimeras
(Carrying a GFP reporter gene)

GFP-expressing cells

Cloning: 1960’s
31
1997: Dolly, a Cloned Mammal
Success rate: 1/277. Dolly is now dead
32
Step 1: The Egg’s Nucleus is Removed(= the Egg is Enucleated)
33
Step 2: A Somatic Nucleus is Injected into the Enucleated Egg
34
Step 3: The Injected Egg is Chemically Activated to Induce Nuclear Division
35
Step 5: The Embryoid is Cultured Until a Blastocyst Develops
36
Step 6: The Inner Cell Mass (A) is Removed from the Blastocyst and Cultured
37
Step 7: Individual Human ES Colonies are Isolated

Some Unsolved Questions in Cloning and Stem Cell Research
• Why is producing ES cells by nuclear transplantation so inefficient?
• What events are involved in reprogramming a somatic cell nucleus to
regain pluripotency?
• How do we differentiate ES cells along particular lineages?
• How do we move from cell differentiation, to organogenesis?
40
2004: California Takes the Lead with Prop 71
• Establishes the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine (CIRM)
• Allocates $3 billion over a 10-year period for stem cell research
• Provides funding for research with hES lines not fundable with federal
funds
– ie, all hES lines generated after 8/9/01
• Funding can be used for somatic cell nuclear transplantation
41
Neurogenesis: new neurons are born in the adult rat and mouse brain. . . but we don’t know whether it happens in primate brain.
