- from one generation to next

Checkpoints:

Regulators of cell cycle

cyclin dependent kinases (Cdk-s) cyclins phosphatases

other kinase regulatory proteins: activating and inhibitory kinases, kinase inhibitors, Aurora and polo like kinases (Plk) ubiquitin ligases

universal and conservative

Due to the activity of cell cycle and checkpoint machinary

DNA and centrosome are duplicated (interphase – S-phase)

and halved in M-phase (mitosis) with high fidelity

Genetically identical cells

Intact DNA is replicated in then is precisely halvedsemiconservative way (for this centrosome is(only once), needed)

centrosome (MTOC)

MPFa

Main substrates of MPF

• lamins of nuclear lamina nuclear envelope breaks down

• condensin complex chromosome condensation

• MAP-s (microtubule associating proteins) mitotic spindle formation

• phosphatase (+ feedback) activation

• GM130 (Golgi matrix protein) disruption of Golgi

• myosin II

• activation (indirectly) of APC (anaphase promoting complex)There are much more substrates of MPF

from DNA to chromosome

Phosphorylation of condensin

induces the condensation of DNA

Cohesin Condensin

Cornelia de Lange syndrome (SMC = structural maintance of chromosomes = ATP-ases + other proteins)

Centromere and kinetochore are not the same structures

Mitotic phases

If kinetochor MT-s are attached to all kinetochors ensuring precise segregation of duplicated DNA, checkpoint machinary allows the cell to step over M checkpoint and it enters anaphase and M-phase is completed.

In anaphase sister chromatids separate.

Anaphase

(Kinetochore MT depolymerisation)

(Polar MT polymeriation)

Anaphase is promoted by Anaphase Promoting Complex (APC)

MPF indirectly activates APC (needed to complete mitosis and to start cytokinesis) APC is a ubiquitin ligase induction of protein degradation in proteasome

(Securin and B cyclin, protein binding the centrioles)

Different kinases regulate the duplication and separation of centrosome

APC

Cohesin Condensin

(SMC = structural maintance of chromosomes = ATP-ases + other proteins)

Separase (activated by APC) and Plk are needed for the separation of

cohesin

There are several forms of atypical mitosis (M-phase)

• Have been listed and shown in practice

• They result genetically different cell populations

in an organism mosaicism

which can be the cause of genetic diseases (see later)

Type Description Consequence

Typical Genetically identical cells.

Atypical Genetically not identical cells

(In the organism: mosaicism)

Endomitosis (Endoreduplication)

DNA is duplicated, but during M-phase the nuclear envelope remains intact. - No separation of chromatids- Separation of chromatids

Giant cell, giant nucleus

Polythene chromosomesMore chromosome (polyploid cell)

No cytokinesis Mitosis is not followed by cytokinesis.

Multinucleated (giant ) cells.

Multipolar division Due to atypical duplication and division of centrosome chromosomes are pulled to more than two poles

Different chromosome number.

Bridge formation (anaphase lag)

A chromatid is pulled from two poles.

Breakage of chromosome (structural chromosomal aberration)

Non-disjunction Lacking of kinetochor microtubules of a chromatid.

Change of chromosome number.

Transmission of genetic information from generation to generation

- asexual reproduction – offsprings are genetically identical with the parent (clones)

- sexual reproduction – offsprings differs from the parents and from each other (genetic variability)

Genetically identical cells in an organism

Genetically different cellsGenetically different individuals

Genetic variability

- significance

- is increased by – mutations

– sexual reproduction

meiosis (generation of gametes)

- homologous recombination (crossing over) - independent assortment of homologous chromosomes

fertilisation

Genetic variability is important in prokaryotes,too

Provided by horizontal gene transfer

Significance of meiosis

- genetic variability (genetically different cells)

- chromosome number is halved (2n n)

Meiosis

DNA replication (S) - Meiosis I – prophase metaphase anaphase telophase DNA replication

- Meiosis II – prophase metaphase anaphase telophase

Meiosis I. Prophase

Leptotene

Bouquet arrangement = by their telomeres chromosomes bind to nuclear envelope later gather at one site - possible role of cytoskeleton - significance: chromosomes are closer to each other

Pairs of chromosomes

Homologous chromosomes

similarity – same shape, size and genes

differences – different origin, (maybe) different allele of a gene

In a diploid human cell:22 pairs autosomes1 pair sex chromosomes XX or XY

Crossing over is obligatory (between non sister chromatids) Number of crossing overs: 13/chromosome pair

Meiosis I. Meta-, ana-, telophase

Metaphase

sister chromatids are bound by cohesin (at centromer) homologous chromosomes are bound by chiasmata

homologous chromosomes are arranged in the equatorial plane

Anaphase

Independent alignment of

homologous pairs

independent (random) assortment of

homologous chromosomes

shugosin

shugosin

Cooriented sister chromatids of a chromosome (bioriented bivalents)

Telophase and cytokinesis

2 haploid (2 sister chromatids) (halving of chromosome number =

reduction division)

What does ensure chromosome number reduction (in meiosis I)?

• Synapsis (- recombination – chiasma) connecting

homologous chromosomes

• Cooriented sister chromatids of a chromosome (bioriented bivalents)

• Cohesin is separated only from arms

Significance of synapsis

A spermatocyte from an infertile man immunostained with antibodies against SCP1 and SCP3 (red) to observe synapsis, MLH1 (green) to visualize sites of recombination, and CREST antiserum (blue) to identify centromeres. Meiotic defects, such as abnormal recombination and an increase in unpaired regions (arrows) were observed in some members of the infertile population.

No synapsis,

no segregation

Abnormal chromosome number

Meiosis II.

- before it there is NO DNA replication

- Meiosis II. is like mitosis
