APC activity also causes the destruction of S and M cyclins and thus the inactivation of Cdks, which promotes the completion of mitosis and cytokinesis. APC activity is maintained in G1 until G1/S–Cdk activity rises again and commits the cell to the next cycle. This scheme serves only as a general guide and does not apply to all cell types. [1]
Geminin, DNA replication inhibitor, also known as GMNN, is a protein in humans encoded by the GMNN gene. [5] A nuclear protein present in most eukaryotes and highly conserved across species, numerous functions have been elucidated for geminin including roles in metazoan cell cycle, cellular proliferation, cell lineage commitment, and neural differentiation.

Light micrograph of a moss's leaf cells at 400X magnification. The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to cell biology: . Cell biology – A branch of biology that includes study of cells regarding their physiological properties, structure, and function; the organelles they contain; interactions with their environment; and their life cycle, division, and death.
By late G 1, enough of the G 1 /S cyclins have accumulated and phosphorylated Cdh1 to inactivate the APC/C until the next metaphase. [1] Once in G 1, APC Cdh1 is responsible for the degradation of various proteins that promote proper cell cycle progression. Geminin is a protein that binds to Cdt1 which prevents its binding to the origin ...
The cell cycle is driven by proteins called cyclin dependent kinases that associate with cyclin regulatory proteins at different checkpoints of the cell cycle. Different phases of the cell cycle experience activation and/or deactivation of specific cyclin-CDK complexes. CyclinB-CDK1 activity is specific to the G2/M checkpoint. Accumulation of ...
Norbornane (also called bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane). Unsubstituted cycloalkanes that contain a single ring in their molecular structure are typically named by adding the prefix "cyclo" to the name of the corresponding linear alkane with the same number of carbon atoms in its chain as the cycloalkane has in its ring.
Thus the structure of the linear form is H–(CHOH) x –C(=O)–(CHOH) 4-x –H, where x is 0, 1, or 2. The term "pentose" sometimes is assumed to include deoxypentoses, such as deoxyribose: compounds with general formula C 5 H 10 O 5-y that can be described as derived from pentoses by replacement of one or more hydroxyl groups with hydrogen ...
Cdc25 is a dual-specificity phosphatase first isolated from the yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe as a cell cycle defective mutant. [1] As with other cell cycle proteins or genes such as Cdc2 and Cdc4, the "cdc" in its name refers to "cell division cycle". [2] Dual-specificity phosphatases are considered a sub-class of protein tyrosine phosphatases.
