Cyclins, baby!
Cyclins
The cell cycle of all eukaryotes is controlled by a conserved set of protein kinases, which are responsible for triggering the major cell cycle transitions.
Cyclins regulate the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells.
Cyclins
tumor suppresser gene which codes for a protein that regulates E2F protein which is a cell cycle controller
The protein that regulates the cell cycle is called cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK). CDK is activated by binding to specific proteins called cyclins at different stages of the cell cycle. Together, CDK and cyclin complexes regulate the progression of the cell cycle by phosphorylating target proteins that control cell division.
CDK. Cyclin dependent kinases.
Membrane Protein
The family of proteins that regulate the cell cycle are called cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). These proteins work together to control the progression of cells through different phases of the cell cycle by activating and deactivating specific cell cycle checkpoints. Dysregulation of cyclins and CDKs can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and potentially cancer.
The cell cycle is regulated by a variety of checkpoints that monitor cell growth, DNA replication, and division. Key regulatory proteins, such as cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), help control progression through the cell cycle by phosphorylating target proteins. If errors or abnormalities are detected at these checkpoints, the cell cycle can be halted to allow for repair or trigger programmed cell death (apoptosis).
Human papillomavirus (HPV) disrupts the cell cycle primarily through the action of its early proteins, particularly E6 and E7. E7 protein binds to and inactivates the retinoblastoma (Rb) tumor suppressor protein, leading to unchecked progression through the cell cycle. Simultaneously, E6 promotes the degradation of the p53 protein, which normally regulates the cell cycle and induces apoptosis in response to DNA damage. This dual action results in increased cell proliferation and can contribute to the development of cancer.
That protein would be an enzyme.
