  2. mir-15 microRNA precursor family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mir-15_microRNA_precursor...

    An accumulation of cardiac muscle fibres sees a consequent block in the transition between the pre-mitotic/G2 phase and mitotic phase of the cell cycle, with postnatal inhibition of the miR-15 family inducing cardiac muscle fibres to enter mitosis. miR-195 overexpression is further associated with cellular hypertrophy. [10]

  3. Genomic imprinting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genomic_imprinting

    In both plants and mammals there are two major mechanisms that are involved in establishing the imprint; these are DNA methylation and histone modifications. Recently, a new study [ 46 ] has suggested a novel inheritable imprinting mechanism in humans that would be specific of placental tissue and that is independent of DNA methylation (the ...

  4. DNA replication factor CDT1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_replication_factor_CDT1

    The protein encoded by this gene is a key licensing factor in the assembly of pre-replication complexes (pre-RC), which occurs during the G1 phase of the cell cycle. In the assembly of pre-RCs, origin recognition complexes (ORC1-6) recognize and bind to DNA replication origins.

  5. G1 phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G1_phase

    After R and before S, the cell is known as being in G 1-ps, or the pre S phase interval of the G 1 phase. [ 4 ] In order for the cell to continue through the G 1 -pm, there must be a high amount of growth factors and a steady rate of protein synthesis, otherwise the cell will move into G 0 phase.

  6. Cytogenetics - Wikipedia

    A mitotic inhibitor (colchicine, colcemid) is then added to the culture. This stops cell division at mitosis which allows an increased yield of mitotic cells for analysis. The cells are then centrifuged and media and mitotic inhibitor are removed, and replaced with a hypotonic solution.

  7. Minichromosome maintenance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minichromosome_Maintenance

    Eukaryotic MCM consists of six gene products, Mcm2–7, which form a heterohexamer. [1] [2] As a critical protein for cell division, MCM is also the target of various checkpoint pathways, such as the S-phase entry and S-phase arrest checkpoints. Both the loading and activation of MCM helicase are strictly regulated and are coupled to cell ...

  8. G2 phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G2_phase

    Though Wee1 is a fairly conserved negative regulator of mitotic entry, no general mechanism of cell size control in G2 has yet been elucidated. Biochemically, the end of G 2 phase occurs when a threshold level of active cyclin B1 / CDK1 complex, also known as Maturation promoting factor (MPF) has been reached. [ 4 ]

  9. Zygote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygote

    In human fertilization, a released ovum (a haploid secondary oocyte with replicate chromosome copies) and a haploid sperm cell (male gamete) combine to form a single diploid cell called the zygote. Once the single sperm fuses with the oocyte, the latter completes the division of the second meiosis forming a haploid daughter with only 23 ...
