• Overview: The Key Roles of Cell Division

• The continuity of life:

– is based upon the reproduction of cells, or cell division

Figure 12.1

Unicellular organisms:– Reproduce by cell division. 100 µm

Chromosome replication begins.Soon thereafter, one copy of the origin moves rapidly toward the other end of the cell.

Replication continues. One copy ofthe origin is now at each end of the cell.

Replication finishes. The plasma membrane grows inward, andnew cell wall is deposited.

Cell Replication in Bacteria• Cell division in bacteria is controlled by the

size of the cell; volume of the cytoplasm.

• Bacteria replicate by binary fission.

• >22 enzymes copy the DNA as a circle.

• Both copies of the DNA are attached to the plasma membrane.

Replication of Bacterial Chromosome

How fast can bacteria divide?

The Evolution of Mitosis

• Since prokaryotes preceded eukaryotes by billions of years:

– It is likely that mitosis evolved from bacterial cell division

• Certain protists:

– Exhibit types of cell division that seem intermediate between binary fission and mitosis carried out by most eukaryotic cells

A hypothetical sequence for the evolution of mitosis

Most eukaryotes. In most other eukaryotes, including plants and animals, the spindle forms outside the nucleus, and the nuclear envelope breaks down during mitosis. Microtubules separate the chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope then re-forms.

Dinoflagellates. In unicellular protists called dinoflagellates, the nuclear envelope remains intact during cell division, and the chromosomes attach to the nuclear envelope. Microtubules pass through the nucleus inside cytoplasmic tunnels, reinforcing the spatial orientation of the nucleus, which then divides in a fission process reminiscent of bacterial division.

Diatoms. In another group of unicellular protists, the diatoms, the nuclear envelope also remains intact during cell division. But in these organisms, the microtubules form a spindle within the nucleus. Microtubules separate the chromosomes, and the nucleus splits into two daughter nuclei.

Prokaryotes. During binary fission, the origins of the daughter chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell. The mechanism is not fully understood, but proteins may anchor the daughter chromosomes to specific sites on the plasma membrane.

(c) Tissue renewal. These dividing bone marrow cells (arrow) will give rise to new blood cells (LM).

Cell Division in Eukaryotic Cells

• Eukaryotic cells are much larger.

• Also have larger genomes (the sum of an organisms’s genetic information).

• Eukaryotic DNA is organized into much more complex structures.

• Why?

The DNA molecules in a cell– Are packaged into chromosomes.

50 µm

Figure 12.3

Chromosomes of Eukaryotes

• Chromosomes are composed of chromatin - a DNA/protein complex.

• Chromatin = 40% DNA + 60% Protein.

• Every 200 nucleotides , the DNA duplex coils around a core of eight histone proteins = Nucleosome.

Regions of Chromosomes are Not the Same

• Condensed portions of chromatin - Heterochromatin - are not being expressed; genes are turned off. May never be turned on.

• Other portions of chromosome are decondensed and are being actively transcribed - Euchromatin. These areas are only condensed during cell division.

Chromosome Reference Points

Karyotype

Chromosome Terminology• The two copies of each chromosome in

somatic cells - homologous chromosomes (homologues). Are these the same?

• Before cell division, each homologue replicates --> two sister chromatids that are joined at the centromere.

How Many Chromosomes are in Cells?

• Most body or somatic cells have two copies of almost identical chromosomes - diploid. Ex. Humans have 23 types of chromosomes X 2 = 46 (2n or diploid number).

• Sex cells or gametes (egg and sperm) have only one copy of each chromosome - haploid. Ex. Human sperm/egg = 23 chromosomes.

How Many Chromosomes are in Cells?

• Some somatic cells are truly unusual.

• Human liver cells have 4 copies of all chromosomes - tetraploid.

• Other cells RBC’s have no nucleus and therefore, no chromosomes.

Phases of the Cell Cycle• The cell cycle consists of

– The mitotic phase– Interphase

A eukaryotic cell has multiplechromosomes, one of which is

represented here. Before duplication, each chromosome

has a single DNA molecule.

Once duplicated, a chromosomeconsists of two sister chromatids

connected at the centromere. Eachchromatid contains a copy of the

DNA molecule.

Mechanical processes separate the sister chromatids into two chromosomes and distribute

them to two daughter cells.

Prophase. The chromatinis condensing. The nucleolus is beginning to disappear.Although not yet visible in the micrograph, the mitotic spindle is staring to from.

Prometaphase.We now see discretechromosomes; each consists of two identical sister chromatids. Laterin prometaphase, the nuclear envelop will fragment.

Metaphase. The spindle is complete,and the chromosomes,attached to microtubulesat their kinetochores, are all at the metaphase plate.

Anaphase. Thechromatids of each chromosome have separated, and the daughter chromosomesare moving to the ends of cell as their kinetochoremicrotubles shorten.

Telophase. Daughternuclei are forming. Meanwhile, cytokinesishas started: The cellplate, which will divided the cytoplasm in two, is growing toward the perimeter of the parent cell.

Mitosis in a Newt

What’s the overall goal of mitosis?

What happens when cells divide out of control?

• Concept 12.3: The cell cycle is regulated by a molecular control system.

• The frequency of cell division:–Varies with the type of cell

• These cell cycle differences:–Result from regulation at the molecular

level

Cell Cycle Control• Internal clocks are not flexible.

• Eukaryotic cells use Check Points- enzymes that survey conditions of the cell and act as “go/no go” switches.

• Regulated by feedback from the cell.

The Cell Cycle Control System• The sequential events of the cell cycle

– Are directed by a distinct cell cycle control system, which is similar to a clock

Figure 12.14

• The clock has specific checkpoints:– Where the cell cycle stops until a go-ahead signal is received

(a) If a cell receives a go-ahead signal at the G1 checkpoint, the cell continues      on in the cell cycle.

(b) If a cell does not receive a go-ahead signal at the G1checkpoint, the cell exits the cell cycle and goes into G0, a nondividing state.

Checkpoints Regulated by Enzymes• Cyclins- proteins that appear and

disappear at different points in the cell cycle.

• Cyclin-Dependent Kinases- (Cdk’s)- enzymes that phosphorylate other enzymes and proteins. Not active w/o cyclins.

The activity of cyclins and Cdksfluctuates during the cell cycle

During G1, conditions in the cell favor degradation of cyclin, and the Cdk component of MPF is recycled.

5

During anaphase, the cyclin component of MPF is degraded, terminating the M phase. The cell enters the G1 phase.

4

Accumulated cyclin moleculescombine with recycled Cdk mol-ecules, producing enough molecules of MPF to pass the G2 checkpoint and initiate the events of mitosis.

2

Synthesis of cyclin begins in late S phase and continues through G2. Because cyclin is protected from degradation during this stage, it accumulates.

Regulating the Cell Cycle

Example: Figure 12.16

• At the G2 checkpoint, use

Cdk + cyclin -----> MPF (Mitosis Promoting Factor)

Evidence for Cytoplasmic Signals• Molecules present in the cytoplasm

– Regulate progress through the cell cycleIn each experiment, cultured mammalian cells at two different phases of the cell cycle were induced to fuse.

When a cell in the M phase was fused with a cell in G1, the G1 cell immediately began mitosis— a spindle formed and chromatin condensed, even though the chromosome had not been duplicated.

EXPERIMENTS

RESULTS

CONCLUSION The results of fusing cells at two different phases of the cell cycle suggest that molecules present in the cytoplasm of cells in the S or M phase control the progression of phases.

When a cell in the S phase was fused with a cell in G1, the G1 cellimmediately entered the S phase—DNA was synthesized.

Controlling the Cell Cycle• Growth Factors. 100 + so far, many

work at G1 checkpoint; bind to surface receptors of cells. Ex. PDGF.

• Contact Inhibition. Normal cells stop growing when they make contact with other cells; use surface receptors.

Signal Transduction and the Cell Cycle

• Growth factors:– Stimulate other cells to divide

EXPERIMENT

A sample of connective tissue was cut up into small pieces.

Enzymes were used to digest the extracellular matrix,resulting in a suspension of free fibroblast cells.

Cells were transferred to sterile culture vessels containing a basic growth medium consisting of glucose, amino acids, salts, and antibiotics (as a precaution against bacterial growth). PDGF was added to half the vessels. The culture vessels were incubated at 37°C.

• In density-dependent inhibition (contact inhibition):– Crowded cells stop dividing

• Most animal cells exhibit anchorage dependence– In which they must be attached to a substratum to divide

Cells anchor to dish surface anddivide (anchorage dependence).

When cells have formed a complete single layer, they stop dividing (density-dependent inhibition).

If some cells are scraped away, the remaining cells divide to fill the gap and then stop (density-dependent inhibition).

Normal mammalian cells. The availability of nutrients, growth factors, and a substratum for attachment limits cell density to a single layer.

How do Growth Factors Work?

• G. F.’s allow passage through G1 checkpoint by causing more cyclins to be formed.

• Some genes normally stimulate cell division- protooncogenes. (myc, fos, jun, ras) Ch. 19.

When Protooncogenes Go Bad!• Mutations in protooncogenes or their

regulation lead to oncogenes – genes that promote uncontrolled cell division and MAY lead to tumor formation.

• Ex. Growth Factor, HER-2 and Breast Cancer

Herceptin – a treatment

Figure 19.12a

(a) Cell cycle–stimulating pathway.

This pathway is triggered by a growthfactor that binds to its receptor in theplasma membrane. The signal is relayed to a G protein called Ras. Like all G proteins, Rasis active when GTP is bound to it. Ras passesthe signal to a series of protein kinases.The last kinase activates a transcriptionactivator that turns on one or more genes for proteins that stimulate the cell cycle. If amutation makes Ras or any other pathway component abnormally active, excessive celldivision and cancer may result.

Effects of mutations. Increased cell division, possibly leading to cancer, can result if the cell cycle is overstimulated, as in (a), or not inhibited when it normally would be, as in (b).

Controlling Cell Growth• The case of retinoblastoma (Rb).• Some genes normally inhibit cell

division- tumor suppressor genes.

• Example: In GO, Rb protein is dephosphorylated and binds to the Myc protein, preventing its promoting of cell division.

Two Types of Cell Division Control

• Positive Controls- like growth factors, protoncogenes stimulate cell division.

• Negative Controls- like tumor suppressors, contact inhibition prevent cell division. Ex. p53, BRCA1 and 2 (Breast Cancer, early onset)

Mutations in Cell Division Control

• Mutations in protoncogenes – tend to be dominant – only one defective copy needed to lead to cancer.

• Mutations in tumor suppressors – tend to be recessive- can still suppress cell division with only one good copy of the gene- both must be defective to develop cancer.

• Fig. 19.13: A multistep model for the development of colorectal cancer - about a dozen mutations in genes needed ( at least one oncogene and many tumor suppressor mutations are needed)

For tumors to grow beyond the size of a pinhead…

• They must develop their own blood supply.

• Angiogenesis – blood vessel creation – tumor cells secrete growth factors of their own to attract capillaries into themselves.
