Chromosome Sorting• The goal of cell division typically is to equally
partition two more-or-less identical copies of genetic material between two daughter cells
• Prokaryotes are comparatively simple, with only one chromosome, so have a relatively easy time sorting daughter chromosomes to daughter cells
• Eukaryotes, with their longer DNA and multiple chromosomes, don’t have it nearly so easy
• Much of the complex “dance” of Mitosis is a consequence of the need to make sure that each daughter cell ends up with the same number and type of chromosomes as the parent

Cell Division• Important roles of cellular
division:– Reproduction: Forms duplicate
offspring (amoeba).– Growth and Development:
Allows single cell to form into multicelluar organism
– Tissue Renewal: Cells are damaged and die all the time. These cells need to be replaced.

Chromosomes vs. Chromatin• Chromosomes
• Tightly packaged DNA• Found only during cell
division• DNA is not being used for
macromolecule synthesis
• Chromatin
• Unwound DNA• Found throughout
Interphase• DNA is being used for
macromolecule synthesis
![Page 7: Chapter 12: Cell Cycle](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56813537550346895d9c9c46/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Eukaryotic Chromosomes
Though chromosomes are“all about” DNA, in fact much this structure consists ofprotein
Formed via replication, not by formed chromatids coming together
![Page 8: Chapter 12: Cell Cycle](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56813537550346895d9c9c46/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How Long is a Chromatid??
• A chromatid is a chromatid as long as it is held in association with a sister chromatid at the centromere
• When two sister chromatids separate (after metaphase) they go from being a single chromosome to being two different chromosomes

Phases of the Cell Cycle (Eukaryotes)
• Interphase (not mitosis)
• Mitosis– Prophase– Prometaphase– Metaphase– Anaphase– Telophase– Cytokinesis
![Page 20: Chapter 12: Cell Cycle](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56813537550346895d9c9c46/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Phases of the Cell Cycle (Eukaryotes)
• Interphase• Mitosis is the shortest
part of the cell cycle.• Interphase accounts
for about 90% of the cell cycle.
• Cells:– Grow– Copy chromosomes– Prepare for cell
division
![Page 21: Chapter 12: Cell Cycle](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56813537550346895d9c9c46/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Phases of the Cell Cycle (Eukaryotes)
• Interphase is divided into subphases:– G1 Phase = Gap 1
– S Phase = synthesis
– G2 Phase = Gap 2
• During all three subphases, the cell grows by producing proteins and organelles.

The Mitotic Spindle: A Closer Look
• The mitotic spindle– Is an apparatus of
microtubules that controls chromosome movement during mitosis
• The spindle arises from the centrosomes– And includes spindle
microtubules and asters
• Some spindle microtubules– Attach to the
kinetochores of chromosomes and move the chromosomes to the metaphase plate

Separating Chromosomes
• During anaphase, sister chromatids are separated– Proteins that hold the chromatids together are
inactivated– Kinetochores have motor proteins that move the
chromosomes along microtubules towards the spindle poles
• Nonkinetochore microtubules elongate the cell
![Page 31: Chapter 12: Cell Cycle](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56813537550346895d9c9c46/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Figure 12.7 Testing a hypothesis for chromosome migration during anaphase
Model:
Chromosomes travel along microtubules towards the poles
Microtubules shorten by depolymerizing at their
kinetochore ends
Experiment:
Microtubules of dividing cells are labeled with a fluorescent dye
A laser bleaches the dye in a region midway between one
spindle pole and the chromosome
As chromosomes move towards the poles, microtubules on the kinetochore side of the mark shortened, while those on the centrosome side remained the
same length

Cytokinesis : division of cytoplasm
• Animal cells : cleavage– Cleavage furrow
• Division begin as a shallow groove in the cell surface near the metaphase plate
– Contractile ring (on the cytoplasmic side of the furrow)• Composes of actin microfilaments and the protein myosin
– Cleavage furrow deepens until the parent cell is pinched in two
• Plant cells : cell plate formation– Vesicles from the Golgi collect at the middle of the cell
producing a cell plate– Cell wall material carried in the vesicles is deposited on
the plate as it grows, until it fuses with the membrane along the perimeter of the cell

• Cell division by binary fission
• Bacterial chromosome is a single circle of DNA
• Replication of DNA begins at a specific origin of replication
• Duplicated chromosomes actively move apart without the help of mitotic spindle

Cell Cycle Regulation
• Timing and rate of cell division is critical for normal growth, development, and maintenance– Skin cells divide frequently– Liver cells divide only when needed (repair)– Muscle cells and nerve cells do not divide
• Molecular mechanisms regulate the cell cycle• Improper cell cycle regulation can result in human
disease : cancer
![Page 40: Chapter 12: Cell Cycle](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56813537550346895d9c9c46/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Evidence for Cytoplasmic Signals• Molecules present in the cytoplasm
– Regulate progress through the cell cycleIn each experiment, cultured mammalian cells at two different phases of the cell cycle were induced to fuse.
When a cell in the M phase was fused with a cell in G1, the G1 cell immediately began mitosis— a spindle formed and chromatin condensed, even though the chromosome had not been duplicated.
EXPERIMENTS
RESULTS
CONCLUSION The results of fusing cells at two different phases of the cell cycle suggest that molecules present in the cytoplasm of cells in the S or M phase control the progression of phases.
When a cell in the S phase was fused with a cell in G1, the G1 cellimmediately entered the S phase—DNA was synthesized.

Checkpoints• Critical regulatory points where activating and
inhibiting signals can control progression through the cell cycle– Stop signals predominant at checkpoints until overridden
by an activating signal• Signals come from cell surveillance mechanisms
– Informing the cell when all processes in the current phase have been completed correctly or not
• Signals come from outside the cell• Checkpoints
– G1 phase : restriction point• cells that do not pass this point go into a nondividing G0 phase
– G2 phase– M phase

Cell Cycle Control Molecules
• The fluctuation in the amount and activity of regulatory molecules in the cytoplasm pace the sequential events of the cell cycle
• Kinases that drive the cell cycle - Cdks (cyclin dependent kinases)
– Present at a constant concentration in an inactive form
– Activated by attachment to a cyclin
• Activity of Cdks rises and falls with changes in the concentration of its cyclin partner
![Page 44: Chapter 12: Cell Cycle](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56813537550346895d9c9c46/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Figure 12.14 Molecular control of the cell cycle at the G2 checkpoint
• MPF = M phase (maturation) Promoting Factor– triggers the passage
past the G2 checkpoint into M phase by phosphorylating proteins involved in nuclear envelope breakdown
– Initiates process leading to the destruction of its cyclin, switching itself off and driving the cell past the M phase checkpoint
Cdk + cyclin combine to form MPF
MPF causes the
breakdown of cyclin
MPF promotes mitosis

Signals that Regulate the Cell Cycle
• Internal signals– M phase checkpoint: anaphase does not
begin until all chromosomes are attached to spindle on the metaphase plate
– Kinetochores not attached to spindle send a signal to delay anaphase
• External signals– Growth factors (eg: PDGF)– Density-dependent inhibition of cell division
![Page 46: Chapter 12: Cell Cycle](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56813537550346895d9c9c46/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Figure 12.16 Density-dependent inhibition of cell division
Density-dependent inhibition:
A cell population reaches a certain density, growth
factors and nutrients available to each cell
becomes insufficient to allow continued cell
growth
Anchorage dependence:
Cells must be attached to a substratum to divide – signals are transmitted to cell cycle control via
plasma membrane proteins and elements of the cytoskeleton linked
to them
![Page 49: Chapter 12: Cell Cycle](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56813537550346895d9c9c46/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Cancer• Cancer cells do not respond to normal cell cycle controls
and divide excessively– Make a required growth factor themselves– Abnormal cell cycle control system– Abnormality in signaling pathway that conveys the growth factor
signal• Cancer cells divide indefinitely if supplied with nutrients: in
vitro cell lines (HeLa cells)• Transformation – the process that converts a normal cell
to a cancer cell• Tumor – a mass of abnormal cells that have evaded the
immune system– Benign: cell mass remains at original site– Malignant: tumor invades organs and impairs function
• Metastasis – spread of cancer cells to locations distant from the original site– cancer cells can lose attachments to other cells and spread into
nearby tissues or enter the blood stream.
