A

Phos of wee and myt inhibiting them

Q

How can cyclin a aswell as main cdc25b be a trigger for mitosis via cdk1 activation

A

When in complex with cdk it allows aurora a activation of plk

Plk then causes a loop via phos of cdc25c

Q

Where is aurora b and why

A

Chr arms early eg in mitosis

Moves to centromeres in prometaphase this is so it can aid correct attachment of kinetochores with mt

Via phos of kmn proteins

17
Q

Does amphitelic produce a sac and why

A

No sac is inactive because equal tension

18
Q

What is monotelic

A

When only 1 sister is attached

Produces active sac bc no tension so aurora b present

19
Q

What is syntelic

A

When both mt attach to one sister

Also produces active sac as no tension

20
Q

What is merotelic and why doesn’t this have active sac

A

Both arms attached but 1 has more mt attached

Tension but unequal

21
Q

Which enzyme opposes aurora B action via dephosphorylation

A

Pp1

22
Q

When does pp1 get replaced by aurora b

A

Prophase when aurora b on chr arms

23
Q

What inhibits pp1

A

i2 inhibitor

24
Q

What happens when aurora b moves from arms to centromeres in prometaphase

A

Part of sac

It checks tension. If not there aurora b will cause kinetochore assembly and phos kmn proteins causing proper attachment of k with mt

When this happens anaphase can occur

Aurora b stays in middle of cell and far from kinetochore, allowing kinetochore dissassembly and pp1 increase via i2 degradation from anaphase

25
Q

What is the strong interaction with merotelic and aurora b

A

Because stay in middle, aurora b can phos of kinetochore subunits and allow proper attachment

26
Q

What does sac block which blocks progression to anaphase

A

Apc/cdc20

27
Q

What does securin ub do and how does it allow anaphase

A

Securin degradation activates separase which cleaves cohesin rings around the centromeres = separation

28
Q

Cyclin b causes cdk inactivation and therefore dephos of its substrates , how does this allow anaphase

A

Spindle elongation and allows chr separation to poles

29
Q

How is cdk 1 inactivation good for telophase and mitotic exit

A

Nuclear formation and spindle dissassembly

30
Q

What part of sac blocks apc cdc20

A

Mitotic checkpoint complex mcc

31
Q

What are the key components of mcc

A

Mad 2 closed, bubr1, bub3

32
Q

What does mad2 closed binding to cdc20 do

A

Blocks it’s ability to recognise and degrade cyclin b and securin

33
Q

How are cyclins usually recognised by cdc20

A

N terminal destruction d box

Arg and leucine residues

34
Q

What part of apc also recognises substrates

A

Apc10

35
Q

What occurs for mcc activation

A

Mps1 phosphorylates KNL1

Allows rzz and other binding like bubr1 and bub3

Rzz recruits mad1 and 2

Mad 2 put into a closed complex which binds cdc20

Attracts others like bubr1 and bub3

36
Q

How does physical separation silence the sac

A

Aurora B once phos kmn will allow proper kinetochore attachment

When tension anaphase occurs

Aurora B moves away from kinetochores and stays in middle, allowing pp1 then to dephos and disassemble kinetochores

This silences the sac

37
Q

How does p31 comet silence sac by disrupting mcc

A

Competes with bubr1 for mad2 binding

38
Q

What phosphorylates cdc20 to cause mcc dissassembly and sac turn off

A

Cdk1

39
Q

What is the cdc20 ub dependant path

A

Cdc20 can be degraded via p31 comet ub

Allows mcc fall off and new cdc20 production without silencing

40
Q

What can dephos knl1 platform protein which blocks mcc assembly

A

Pp2a phosphatase

41
Q

How is cyclin a degraded even though sac is turned on in prometaphase nuclear degradation

A

Apc cdc20 can override the sac at this point via long D boxes of cyclin a being recognised

42
Q

What is degraded by cdh1 apc (end of mitosis)

A

Cdc20 , plk, aurora a and b
