Cloning of the cyc gene revealed that it encodes a novel basic helix–loop–helix – PAS domain (bHLH-PAS) protein related to mammalian basic helix-loop-helix ARNT-like protein 1 (BMAL1), and that it likely binds to Clock to activate transcription of circadian rhythm genes. [4] Cycle gene expression has been discovered in a variety of cell ...

The eukaryotic cell cycle consists of four distinct phases: G 1 phase, S phase (synthesis), G 2 phase (collectively known as interphase) and M phase (mitosis and cytokinesis). M phase is itself composed of two tightly coupled processes: mitosis, in which the cell's nucleus divides, and cytokinesis, in which the cell's cytoplasm and cell membrane divides forming two daughter cells.
Susumu Ohno, one of the referents in the development of protein music, proposed in the early 80s that repetition is a fundamental to the evolution of proteins. [14] This idea was fundamental to his notion that the repetition in biological sequences would have parallels in music composition, leading Ohno to state that the "...all-pervasive principle of repetitious recurrence governs not only ...
This enables stable entrainment to the 24 hour light-dark cycle that Earth experiences. Additionally, the protein products of clock genes control downstream genes that are not part of the feedback loop, allowing clock genes to create daily rhythms in other processes, such as metabolism, within the organism.

The human BMAL1 gene has a predicted 24 exons, located on the p15 band of the 11th chromosome. [4] The BMAL1 protein is 626 amino acids long and plays a key role as one of the positive elements in the mammalian auto-regulatory transcription-translation negative feedback loop (TTFL), which is responsible for generating molecular circadian rhythms.
Steps of the cell cycle. The restriction point occurs between the G 1 and S phases of interphase.. The restriction point (R), also known as the Start or G 1 /S checkpoint, is a cell cycle checkpoint in the G 1 phase of the animal cell cycle at which the cell becomes "committed" to the cell cycle, and after which extracellular signals are no longer required to stimulate proliferation.

In this switch in mammalian cells, there are two cell cycle kinases that help to control the checkpoint: cell cycle kinases CDK4/6-cyclin D and CDK2-cyclin E. [1] The transcription complex that includes Rb and E2F is important in controlling this checkpoint. In the first gap phase, the Rb-HDAC repressor complex binds to the E2F-DP1 ...
