phosphorylation of cdk targets changes their activity

Phosphorylation of CDK Targets Changes Their Activity

Now performsa cell cycle function

How are CDK’s Regulated?

1. By cyclin synthesis and destruction

2. By phosphorylation

3. By binding to CDK inhibitory proteins (CKIs)

Generation of a “Cycling” Frog Egg Extract

1. Inject females with hormonesso that they lay eggs

2. Pack eggs into acentrifuge tube and spin

3. RemoveCytoplasmic Extract

4. Add sperm chromatinand away you go!

Cyclin Synthesis and DestructionDrives the Early Embryonic Cell Cycle

Cyclin Destruction is Controlled by Ubiquitination

But is cyclin abundance the only

way to control CDK activity?

How are CDKs Regulated?

Isolate mutants that phenocopy cdc2- alleles

CDKs are Regulated by Phosphorylation

is a kinase is a phosphatase

How does the G1-S Transition Work?

but…S. pombe cdc2+ can subsitute

for S. cerevisiae cdc28 and vice versa

cdc2 mutants arrest in G2

cdc28 mutants arrest in G1

Why?
