Ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis and cell cycle control in yeast

Progress in Cell Cycle Research
K T ChunM Goebl

Abstract

Genetic and biochemical data indicate that ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis is involved in the regulated turnover of proteins required for controlling cell cycle progression. In general, mutations in some genes that encode proteins involved in the ubiquitin pathway cause cell cycle defects and affect the turnover of cell cycle regulatory proteins. Furthermore, some cell cycle regulatory proteins are short-lived, ubiquitinated, and degraded by the ubiquitin pathway. This review will examine how the ubiquitin pathway plays a role in regulating progression from the G1 to the S phase of the cell cycle, as well as the G2 to M phase transition.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.
