Cell Cycle Regulation by Protein Kinases and Phosphatases

  • Conference paper
Data Mining in Structural Biology

Part of the book series: Ernst Schering Research Foundation Workshop ((SCHERING FOUND,volume 34))

Abstract

The two main phases of the eukaryotic cell cycle are S phase, when DNA is replicated, and M phase (mitosis), when the duplicated chromosomes are segregated to the two daughter cells. S and M phases are separated by two so-called “gap” phases, G1 (prior to S) and G2 (prior to M), respectively. Non-proliferating cells are considered to be in a separate state, referred to as Go, from where they can be prompted to enter the cell cycle by mitogenic stimulation. The orderly progression through the cell cycle is critical for the correct transmission of genetic information to subsequent cell generations, and hence for the life and development of all organisms.
