Indicate whether each of the following, when active, tends to activate (A) or inactivate (I) M-Cdks. The correct answer will be a four-letter string composed of letters A and I only, e.g. IIAI.

( A ) M-Cdk
( I ) Cdc20–APC/C
( I ) Cdh1–APC/C
( I ) Wee1

Respuesta :

AIII

Explanation:

  • Cell cycle is mainly divided into two phases-Interphase and Mitotic phase
  • Interphase is the preparatory phase whereas mitotic phase is the dividing phase
  • Various cyclins and Cdks are regulated during these phases
  • M-Cdks stands for Mitotic Cyclin Dependent Kinases which helps in cell cycle regulation
  • Cdks are the catalytic subunit bound to the regulatory subunit(cyclins)
  • Mitosis includes four stage namely Prophase,Metaphase,Anaphase and Telophase
  • During the Anaphase stage separation of sister chromatids occurs due to the destruction of a protein called cohesin
  • Destruction of cohesin is catalysed by an enzyme called separase
  • Prior to anaphase securin binds to separase and inhibits its activity
  • The APC(anaphase promoting complex) with specificity factor Cdc20 tragets securin for polyubiquitination which then degraded by proteasome
  • The separase released becomes active and breaks the bridge between sister chromatids
  • Movement of sister chromatids occurs towards their respective poles
  • In late anaphase,specific phopshates called Cdc14 removes the regulatory phosphate group from cdh1 specificity factor and therefore Cdh1 becomes active
  • Active Cdh1 specificity factor binds to and activate APC(anaphase promoting complex)
  • Cdh1 bound APC catalyse ubiquitination of mitotic cyclins
  • As the mitotic cyclins are degraded by the proteasome,onset of telophase starts
  • Wee1 is a kinase enzyme which comes into consideration in case of fission yeast
  • Wee 1 phosphorylates the inhibitory site of M-Cdk which further leads the cells to enter into mitosis
