Cell cycle is regulated by?
The timings of the cell cycle are controlled by cyclins (protein complexes) and cyclin-dependent kinases / CDKs (enzymes).The cyclins activate the CDKs, which affect the cell cycle at three important checkpoints:Late in the G1 stage of the cell cycle, triggering the cell to move into the S phase.Late in the G2 stage of the cell cycle, triggering the cell to move into mitosis.The M (metaphase) checkpoint, triggering entry into anaphase.
How do mutations affect cyclins?
Cyclins regulate the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells.
Function of cyclin in the cell cycle?
The role is cyclins is to bind with Cdks to propel the cell through the next stage of the cell cycle as they are regulatory subunits. The cyclin part of the complex formed after binding with the cyclin-dependent protein kinase. Cyclin levels are very high especially when the cell is ready to progress to the next stage of the cell cycle, and after the cell is in the next stage, the cyclins are degraded until they are needed by the cell again.
What is of WAF-1 gene?
WAF1is also known as cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1 or CDK-interacting protein 1. It is a protein that in humans is encoded by the cdkn1Agene located on chromosome 6. p-21, the product of waf gene is the inhibitor of cdk4/cyclin-D-1 complex. It inactivates cdk4/cyclin-D-1 complex and the cell cycle is arrested at G1 phase.
What is the protein and enzyme complex that is important in controlling the cell cycle?
carcinogens. it controls dna damage, tobacco, and cancer.
What molecules control the cell cycle?
Cyclin dependent kinase
What is a protein synthesized at specific times during the cell cycle that associates with a kinase to form a catalytically active complex?
A) MPF B) Cdk C) PDGF D) Protein kinase E) cyclin the answer is E, cyclin. AP Bio student.
What is the family of proteins that regulate the cell cycle?
cyclins If there are questions that are NOT answered and is unkown.. I strongly suggest yahooanswers instead:}
What is the function of p21 gene?
The p21 gene codes for a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, which helps to regulate the cell cycle.

What causes the MPF complex to initiate mitosis in the cell cycle?
The decline of Mitosis-promoting factor (MPF) is due to the decline of cyclin.

Cyclins regulate the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells.
What substances form the cyclin-cycle dependent kinase combinations that control the stages in the cell cycle?
proteins and enzyme
Which of the following is a protein synthesized at specific times during the cell cycle that associates with a kinase to form a catalytically active complex?
cdk
Describe the roles of checkpoint cyclin CDK and MPF in the cell-cycle control system?
Cyclin is a regulatory protein that a kinase much be attached to. Cyclin gets its name from its cyclically fluctuating concentraion in the cell. Because of this requirement, these kinases are called cyclin-dependent kinases, CDK's. The CDK rises and falls with changes in the concentration of its cyclic partner. The first cyclin-CDK complex discovered was the MPF. The peaks of MPF activity correspond to the peaks of cyclin concentration. MPF stands for maturation-promoting factors. Basically, the rhythmic fluctuations in the abundance and activity of cell cycle control molecules pace the sequential events of the cell cycle. These regulatory molecules are proteins; kinase, and other enzymes. Particular protein kinases give the "go-ahead" signals at the G1 and G2 checkpoints.

What are 2 key molecules that help to control and coordinate cell division?
The key molecules that control and coordinate cell division are called CDK and Cyclin.
