Study Notes
Cell Cycle and Regulation
- Cell cycle consists of four major phases: G1, S, G2, and M
- G1-Phase: preparatory phase for DNA synthesis, where Histone is synthesized
- S-Phase: DNA synthesis phase, where base synthesis and base-pairing occur
- G2-Phase: preparatory phase for mitosis, where Mitotic spindles and other proteins are formed
- M-Phase: Mitotic phase, where division of DNA and cytoplasm takes place
- G0-Phase: dormant phase
Regulation of Cell Cycle
- Proto-oncogenes stimulate proliferation of cells, e.g. MYC gene
- Tumor suppressor genes inhibit proliferation and promote apoptosis of cells, e.g. TP53 gene
