S phaseS phase (Synthesis Phase) is the phase of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated, occurring between G1 phase and G2 phase. Since accurate duplication of the genome is critical to successful cell division, the processes that occur during S-phase are tightly regulated and widely conserved. G1/S transition Entry into S-phase is controlled by the G1 restriction point (R), which commits cells to the remainder of the cell-cycle if there is adequate nutrients and growth signaling.
Cyclines (protéines)thumb|Expression des cyclines au cours du cycle cellulaire. Les cyclines sont une famille de plusieurs protéines impliquées dans la régulation du cycle cellulaire. Au moment d'agir pendant le cycle cellulaire d'une jeune cellule, les cyclines sont produites et interagissent avec leurs protéines kinases cycline-dépendantes (Cdk) spécifiques afin de les activer en formant des facteurs de promotion de la maturation, ce qui déclenchera la progression de la cellule vers l'interphase.
G1 phaseDISPLAYTITLE:G1 phase The G1 phase, gap 1 phase, or growth 1 phase, is the first of four phases of the cell cycle that takes place in eukaryotic cell division. In this part of interphase, the cell synthesizes mRNA and proteins in preparation for subsequent steps leading to mitosis. G1 phase ends when the cell moves into the S phase of interphase. Around 30 to 40 percent of cell cycle time is spent in the G1 phase.
Cyclin-dependent kinase 2Cyclin-dependent kinase 2, also known as cell division protein kinase 2, or Cdk2, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CDK2 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the cyclin-dependent kinase family of Ser/Thr protein kinases. This protein kinase is highly similar to the gene products of S. cerevisiae cdc28, and S. pombe cdc2, also known as Cdk1 in humans. It is a catalytic subunit of the cyclin-dependent kinase complex, whose activity is restricted to the G1-S phase of the cell cycle, where cells make proteins necessary for mitosis and replicate their DNA.
Réparation de l'ADNright|vignette|Chromosomes montrant de nombreuses lésions. La réparation de l'ADN est un ensemble de processus par lesquels une cellule identifie et corrige les dommages aux molécules d'ADN qui codent son génome. Dans les cellules, l'acide désoxyribonucléique (ADN) est soumis continuellement à des activités métaboliques normales et à des facteurs environnementaux portant atteinte à son intégrité. Ces facteurs environnementaux sont le plus souvent de nature chimique comme les radicaux libres de l'oxygène et les agents alkylants, ou physique, comme les radiations ultraviolettes et les rayonnements ionisants.
G2 phaseDISPLAYTITLE:G2 phase G2 phase, Gap 2 phase, or Growth 2 phase, is the third subphase of interphase in the cell cycle directly preceding mitosis. It follows the successful completion of S phase, during which the cell’s DNA is replicated. G2 phase ends with the onset of prophase, the first phase of mitosis in which the cell’s chromatin condenses into chromosomes. G2 phase is a period of rapid cell growth and protein synthesis during which the cell prepares itself for mitosis.
Cyclin BCyclin B is a member of the cyclin family. Cyclin B is a mitotic cyclin. The amount of cyclin B (which binds to Cdk1) and the activity of the cyclin B-Cdk complex rise through the cell cycle until mitosis, where they fall abruptly due to degradation of cyclin B (Cdk1 is constitutively present). The complex of Cdk and cyclin B is called maturation promoting factor or mitosis promoting factor (MPF). Cyclin B is necessary for the progression of the cells into and out of M phase of the cell cycle.
CDK4La CDK4 est une kinase dépendante des cyclines. Son gène est le CDK4 situé sur le chromosome 12 humain. Le complexe Cdk4-cycline D phosphoryle la pRB, engendrant un changement conformationnel la rendant inactif, libérant E2F et permettant à la cellule de progresser dans le cycle cellulaire. Cette protéine joue un rôle dans la prolifération cellulaire, notamment dans les cancers, constituant une cible thérapeutique. Le palbociclib et le ribociclib sont des inhibiteurs des CDK4 et CDK6 efficaces dans certains cancers du sein.
Cyclin-dependent kinase 1Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 also known as CDK1 or cell division cycle protein 2 homolog is a highly conserved protein that functions as a serine/threonine protein kinase, and is a key player in cell cycle regulation. It has been highly studied in the budding yeast S. cerevisiae, and the fission yeast S. pombe, where it is encoded by genes cdc28 and cdc2, respectively. With its cyclin partners, Cdk1 forms complexes that phosphorylate a variety of target substrates (over 75 have been identified in budding yeast); phosphorylation of these proteins leads to cell cycle progression.
Wee1Wee1 est une protéine nucléaire de la famille Serine/thréonine kinase dont le substrat est la cycline M-CDK. Elle a un rôle dans la division cellulaire par l'intermédiaire de l'horloge circadienne, celle ci étant un système qui permet la régulation de nombreux processus biologiques vitaux. L’altération de cette horloge est liée à de nombreuses conditions pathologiques telles que le cancer, ce qui suggère l’importance d’une régulation circadienne du cycle de division cellulaire.
