What is cell division? • Cells divide in order to reproduce
themselves
![Page 4: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
![Page 5: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The cell cycle
• Cells go through a predictable cycle controlled by cell signaling
![Page 6: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Two stages of the cell cycle
• Interphase
– Most cell growth growth and development takes place
• Mitotic phase
– Cell division takes place
![Page 7: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Interphase
• Interphase (about 90% of the cell cycle) can be divided into subphases
– G1 phase (“first gap”)
– S phase (“synthesis”)
– G2 phase (“second gap”)
• The cell grows during all three phases, but chromosomes are duplicated only during the S phase
![Page 8: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Which portion of the cell cycle do you think is most energy intensive and why?
![Page 9: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
G0 phase • Some cells exit the cell cycle and go
quiescent
• This is a “resting” phase where no active cell growth or division takes place, only maintenance
• Cells can enter G0 and stay there for years, and many will never go back into the regular cycle
• Neurons are usually in G0
![Page 10: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Controlling the cell cycle
• The sequential events of the cell cycle are directed by a distinct cell cycle control system, which is similar to a clock
• The cell cycle control system is regulated by
both internal and external controls • The clock has specific checkpoints where
the cell cycle stops until a go-ahead signal is received
![Page 11: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The cell cycle control system
• Two main components of the cell cycle control system:
– Cyclins
• Control the overall “flow” of the cell cycle
– Checkpoints
• Ensure that certain requirements are met at certain points
Cyclins are the traffic flow on the freeway, checkpoints are the traffic on surface streets
![Page 12: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Cyclins in the cell cycle • Two types of regulatory proteins are involved in
cell cycle control: cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks)
• A cyclin is a regulatory protein involved in the cell cycle
• Its concentration varies with the cell cycle
The Nobel Prize in medicine was
awarded in 2001 for the discovery of
cyclins
![Page 13: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Different cyclins control different parts of the cell cycle
![Page 14: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Cyclins and Cdks • Cyclins control cyclin-dependent kinases
(Cdks) by binding to them
• When cyclins bind cdk, they become MPF, maturation-promoting factor
• MPF triggers a cell’s passage past the G2 checkpoint into the M phase
– MPF activates other proteins through phosphorylation
– These proteins are responsible for microtubule formation and chromatin condensing
![Page 15: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Cyclin + Cdk = MPF
![Page 16: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Checkpoints in the cell cycle • Each checkpoint serves as a ‘stoplight’ for the cell
• The cell must pass the requirements of that checkpoint before it can proceed
• Cells respond to both internal and external checkpoint signals
![Page 17: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Internal and external checkpoint signals
• Internal signal example: centromeres not properly aligned send a molecular signal that delays mitosis
• Some external signals are growth factors, proteins released by certain cells that stimulate other cells to divide
– For example, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulates the division of human fibroblast cells in culture
– PDGF is also released near the sites of wounds, causing cells nearby to divide and close the wound
![Page 18: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
PDGF is important in culturing
stem cells
PDGF sends a signal that tells stem cells to divide in an artificial
culture
![Page 19: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
More external checkpoints
• A clear example of external signals is density-dependent inhibition, in which crowded cells stop dividing
• Most animal cells also exhibit anchorage dependence, in which they must be attached to a substratum in order to divide
• Cancer cells exhibit neither density-dependent inhibition nor anchorage dependence
![Page 20: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• The frequency of cell division varies with the type of cell
• These differences result from regulation at the molecular level
• Cancer cells manage to escape the usual controls on the cell cycle
![Page 22: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cell division and cancer
• All cancers are caused by the deregulation of cell division
• In order to become cancerous, two types of regulatory genes must be affected:
– Oncogenes, which promote cell division
– Tumor-suppressor genes, which inhibit cell division
Usually, many different changes in many different genes are required for cancer
“The Dark Arts Cancers," said Snape, "are many, varied, ever-changing, and eternal. Fighting them is like fighting a many-headed monster, which, each time a neck is severed, sprouts a head even fiercer and cleverer than before.
You are fighting that which is unfixed, mutating, indestructible."
![Page 23: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
P53 and cancer • P53 is a major tumor-suppressor protein • Nicknamed “the guardian of the genome”
– It recognizes and repairs DNA damage – It can stop cell growth after it recognizes DNA
damage – It can initiate cell suicide if the DNA damage is
too severe
• P53 also activates p21, which binds to and inhibits MPF
• If p53 is inactivated, you suddenly have lots a main weapon in your anti-cancer arsenal
![Page 24: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Cancer and aging
• Why not just add extra p53 to a person who has/is at risk for cancer?
• P53 causes aging!
• Many other genes/proteins that cancer uses to become cancerous are related to embryonic development
Evolved for Cancer?
![Page 25: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Ras and p53
• Ras is the most common oncogene found in cancer – Ras is a GPCR that, once activated cannot be
unactivated
– This constantly stimulates cell division
• P53 is the most common tumor-suppressor gene found in cancer

Describe how p53 prevents cancer both through its tumor suppressor capabilities
and its apoptosis-inducing capabilities

Somates and Gametes
• A somatic cell is a normal body cell
– Muscle cells, neurons, epithelial cells
– In humans, each somatic cell contains two copies of our genome
– 2n, diploid
• A gamete/germline cell is a reproductive cell
– Sperm and eggs
– Contains 1 copy of our genome
– N, haploid
![Page 28: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Mitosis and Meiosis
• In general, when a somatic cell divides it produces two identical daughter cells
– Same genetic information, 2n
– Same cell types
• Somatic cell division is called mitosis
• Gamete division is called meiosis
![Page 29: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Some DNA stuff
• Genome – all of the DNA in a cell
– DNA molecules in a cell are packaged into chromosomes composed of chromatin
• Chromosome – the X-shaped structure composed of a single molecule of DNA
– Humans have 23 chromosomes
• Chromatin – a complex of DNA and protein that condenses during cell division
![Page 30: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
A genome can consist of a single DNA molecule (common in prokaryotic cells) or a number of DNA molecules (common in eukaryotic cells)
![Page 31: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
How chromatin makes up
chromosomes
![Page 32: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Anatomy of a chromosome • Each chromosome has two sister chromatids
– The sister chromatids are identical copies of each other
• The two chromatids are linked together by a centromere
– The centromere is a series of repetitive DNA sequences that have a high affinity for kinetochore proteins
0.5 m Centromere
Sister chromatids
![Page 33: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Keeping your terms straight
• Chromosome – The ‘X’ made of DNA. 23 in humans
• Chromatid – One ‘leg’ of a chromosome, composed of chromatin. 46 in humans
• Chromatin – DNA wound around protein
![Page 34: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Karyotypes
• Karyotype – the organized numbering and appearance of the full set of an organism’s chromosomes
![Page 35: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Karyotyping and disease diagnosis
Down syndrome is caused by the
abnormal presence of an
extra chromosome 21
![Page 36: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Chromosomes during cell replication
• During cell division, the two sister chromatids of each duplicated chromosome separate and move into two nuclei
• Once separate, the chromatids are called chromosomes
![Page 37: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Mitosis: an overview • Mitosis is the process of cell division, and
focuses mainly on the chromosomes • Chromosomes are evenly divided into two
daughter cells • Five stages of mitosis:
– Prophase – Prometaphase – Metaphase – Anaphase – Telophase
• Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm, and overlaps anaphase and telophase
PPMAT
![Page 41: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Mitosis: an overview
Mitosis is truly a continuous process – there appear to be distinct stages, but really, it’s all one big mashup
![Page 42: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
New terms • Spindle – Composed of centrosome and the
microtubules that extend from it – Aster – The smaller microtubules that extend
from the centrosome
• Metaphase plate – the imaginary “plate” chromosomes line up against in metaphase
• Kinetochore – a protein complex in the centromere of the chromosome that attaches to the spindle
• Centrosome – the microtubule-organizing center of the cell
![Page 43: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Before prophase…
• Unorganized chromatin (2n)
• One centrosome
• Nuclear envelope intact and nucleolus visible
• Normal cell activities taking place
![Page 44: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Prophase
• Chromatin (duplicated in S) begins to condense into chromosomes
• Centrosomes duplicate
• Nuclear envelope begins to dissolve
• Spindle begins to form
![Page 45: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Prometaphase
• Chromosomes completely condense
• Centromeres build up kinetochores
• Microtubules begin to attach to kinetochores
• Nonkinetochore microtubules begin to extend
![Page 46: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Metaphase
• Centrosomes localize to opposite ends of the cell
• Chromosomes line up on the metaphase plate
• Microtubules finish attaching to kinetochores
![Page 47: Lecture 11 – The Cell Cycle and Mitosisfacweb.northseattle.edu/lizthomas/Lecture 11.pdf · Mitosis: an overview •Mitosis is the process of cell division, and focuses mainly on](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070616/5ccbf6ef88c993901f8b852f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Anaphase
• Chromosomes break apart and the halves begin moving toward opposite ends
• The cell elongates as nonkinetochore microtubules lengthen
• The shortest stage – lasts only a few minutes

Telophase
• Nuclei and nuclear envelopes reform
• Chromosomes decondense
• Spindles are depolymerized
• Nucleoli reappear
• Cytokinesis overlaps with telophase

The role of microtubules
• Microtubules both push and pull during mitosis
• Some microtubules attach to kinetochores and pull apart chromosomes
• Others span the length of the cell, and lengthen during cytokinesis to push apart the daughter cells

Apoptosis
• “Programmed cell suicide”
• Many causes for apoptosis, but a big one is a cell repeatedly failing checkpoints
• Your body can also induce apoptosis in your damaged, infected, or cancerous cells
• P53 can force cells into apoptosis when their DNA is too damaged

What would happen to animal cells that did
not undergo cytokinesis?

Polyploidy
• Some cells undergo S phase DNA replication, but not mitosis
• They have many duplicate copies of their genome
• Plants can tolerate this very well – seedless grapes and watermelons arise from polyploid gametes
• Not humans, except in rare examples
