Chromokinesin and dynein
36
E2F importance
decides whether to enter cell cycle, when active induces cyclins E and A
37

what does cyclinE need to phosphorylate to continue cycle?
helicase and CDC6
39
Based on the experiment above and your understanding of the cell cycle, the first 90
amino acids of cyclin are__________________
A. necessary for anaphase onset and the activation of seperase
B. sufficient for anaphase onset and the degradation of securin
C. necessary for chromosome movements and the ubiquitination of cdc20
D. necessary for chromosome movements and the ubiquitination of cdh1
E. sufficient for chromosome movements and the degradation of cyclin
A. necessary for anaphase onset and the activation of seperase
40
In order to understand anaphase onset more completely, you delete securin
expecting premature sister chromatid separation. However, anaphase occurs at the
proper time, not prematurely. You then do a screen for mutations that cause early sister
chromatid separation in the securin deletion mutant background. You isolate a Serine
to Alanine mutation in separase. You hypothesize that the point mutation in separase
blocked __________, which normally prevents sister chromatid separation.
A. Phosphorylation by cyclinB/CDK
B. Ubiquitination by cdc20
C. Scc1 cleavage and opening of the cohesin ring
D. Phosphorylation by wee1
E. Phosphorlyation by cdc25
A. Phosphorylation by cyclinB/CDK

49
how does actin move cells? all steps
1. signal
2. signal activates WASP or WAVE to recruit ARP2/3 to rapidly grow actin filaments
3. profilin aids growth by supplying actin
4. new filaments grow off old ones to form a block and push cell to move
5. CapZ binds to ends on lagging side to not waste energy
6. older filaments are depolymerized by cofilin
