- Checkpoints: can delay the cell cycle until certain conditions are met; - There are 3 major checkpoints; - G1/S: check for DNA damage; if passed, the cell is committed to divide. - If DNA damage is detected: DNA repair mechanisM; Apoptosis: programmed cell death. - G2/M: verifie...
when the cell begins to enter the cell cycle and chromosome duplication. Cells pass the G1 checkpoint when they are stimulated by appropriate external growth factors.

The Gap 1 phase (G1) represents a period in which the cell checks the environment to ensure that conditions are appropriate for replication and division. This constitutes the G1 checkpoint. During G1, the cell is growing in size and carrying out the cell's basic metabolic functions. The le...
Failure of cell-cycle checkpoint regulations often results in aneuploidy and genetic instability, culminating either in cell death or in cancer.1 In the same vein, cancer describes abnormal, deregulated cells that undergo unrestricted divisions. Despite being the shortest phase of the cell-cycle, ...
checkpointDNA damageDNA replicationfission yeastEukaryotic organisms use cell-cycle checkpoints to ensure that nuclear division is restrained while DNA is undergoing replication or repair. Recent studies of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe have illuminated these checkpoint mechanisms. These ...
As in other phases of the cell cycle, mitosis involves a host of proteins whose actions are temporally regulated via critical checkpoints. The centrosome plays a unique role in mitosis, in forming the mitotic spindle which physically pulls the chromosomes apart [33]. Following duplication in the...
The mitotic checkpoint complex binds a second CDC20 to inhibit active APC/C By binding and inhibiting a second CDC20 molecule, the mitotic checkpoint complex can convert a local ‘wait’ signal from unattached kinetochores to inhibit the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome throughout the cell and...
