Cyclins Synthesis

In a cell cycle, there are specific checkpoints between each phases caused by the occurrence of cyclin. Cyclin determines how concentration flunctuatues. If the regulation is disrupted by a decreasein cyclin, there would be no mitosis, meaning the cell cycle would continuously go thre G0 phase. However, if there is an increase

The purpose of this research was to determine the mechanisms in naked mole-rats that restricts cell proliferation and tumor formation. Contact inhibition is a mechanism observed where cell proliferation stops when two cells come in contact with one another. This process is caused by elevated levels of p27 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor which stops cells in the G1 phase from dividing. The cylcin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16 is also thought to regulate contact inhibition but its levels do not change in mice or human samples. Tumor-suppressor genes Rb and p53 are present in high concentration during contact inhibition to help control cell proliferation and apoptosis respectively. It was hypothesized that the naked mole-rats' cancer resistivity

There is a demand for artificial sweeteners because people want to control their intake of sugar. Saccharin, cyclamates, aspartame, as well as Dulcin, are some sugars that fulfill the need for sweeteners to be of low caloric content. Some of the sweeteners, such as Dulcin, are now considered to yield undesirable health effects with long term use. Dulcin is 250 times sweeter than table sugar. The synthesis of Dulcin was done in order to calculate the percent yield. The lesson of this experiment was to learn how to synthesize Dulcin from phenetidine and potassium cyanate (KOCN). During the experiment, Dulcin was synthezided in the presence of water and acetic acid, which were the solvents. Hydrocyanic acid (HOCN) was formed from the acetic acid and KOCN (Scheme 1 equation 1). Then the HOCN will react with phenetidine to make Dulcin (Scheme 1 equation 2).

Several colonies and cities have gone through some mysterious and incredible pasts which cannot be forgotten for long. Similar kind of history has been witnessed in Jamestown and Plymouth. Jamestown in Virginia was the first permanent English settlement and Plymouth in Massachusetts being the second, with these two colonies English settlement in North America was started. Both places are famous for their historical background and that is why they hold the attention of people even today. Both communities have had their own set of conflicts between the people residing there already and those who came to that place later. In both these places, the reason for the problem was different. Problems such as economic and religious and racial problems were the most prominent ones among both these places. Jamestown and Plymouth, today, are quoted as two popular places , although both of them are not even in the same territory , but far off from each other

In the context of the cell cycle, P53 is shown to have a G1 and G2/M checkpoint function [23]; in fact, upon receiving a stimulus such as DNA damage, p53 induces cell cycle arrest providing time for the cell to repair the genomic damage before being released back into the proliferating pool . The best known P53 target gene product involved in this process is the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor p21 [18]. The progression through the S phase of the cell cycle is tightly controlled by CDKs [19]. P21 functions by inhibiting Cyclin-CDK complexes, therefore, hindering the cell cycle transition from G1 to S phase [23]. In addition to being implicated in the G1/S arrest of the cell cycle, it has been demonstrated that P21, alongside p53, is also essential in the G2/M phase [23,

The Cyclin D1 gene is a researchable protein researchers believe have ties to the development of breast cancer tumors. The body has many mechanisms in which it regulates many things; the temperature of the body, the menstrual cycle, production of certain cells. The Cyclin D1 protein assists in regulating the cell cycle. CCND1 specifically aids in regulating the G1 phase. Like most things, too much of anything can be bad. A high presence of this protein has been linked to the formation of cancerous tumors, specifically related to breast cancer. Estrogen receptors throughout the body regulate the amount of CCND1

Protein kinases are enzymes that activate or inactivate other proteins, which is done by phosphorylation. Kinases are activated by attaching themselves to a cyclin, which is a protein that has cyclically fluctuating concentration in the cell (Cdks.) When these cyclins build up in the cell, the resulting MPF phosphorylates other proteins, overall initiating mitosis.

Cyclin D1 (CCND1) is known to be a prominent part of the cell cycle in humans by regulating the cell cycle. In this research paper, the CCND1 was examined for other things. Researchers believed that an access amount of the CCND1 was causing breast cancer, which is a wide spread problem across the country. The research consisted of 147 patients and eight different tissue cores from 4-8 tumors were taken. It was found that a high degree of homogeneity is the beginning development for breast cancer.

Cancer known in medicine as a malignant neoplasm is one of the biggest killers worldwide. In 2007, cancer caused roughly 13% (7.9 million) of the planet’s deaths (Jemal, 2011). This will more greatly affect an aging society such as ours in years to come, and yet it is already the foremost cause of death in the developed world. The main reason cancer causes so many fatalities the body’s inability to mount an effective response to the failure of DNA replication within the body. This results in a mass

Specific enzymes make this phase successful. They protect the body from the chemical carcinogenesis that occurs during the early stage of cancer.

(#2) CDKN1A is a protein coding gene. The purpose CDKN1A serves in the cell is that it works as cell cycle regulator at the G1 checkpoint and is responsible for the cell cycle arrest at that checkpoint. CDKN1A encodes a potential cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor which then prevents the phosphorylation of critical CDK substrates and blocks cell cycle progression, thus functioning as a cell cycle regulator at the G1 checkpoint. CDKN1A, along with p53, are both involved

Huntingtin is a 350-kilodalton protein of unknown function that is mutated in Huntington's disease (HD), a neurodegenerative disorder. The mutant protein is presumed to acquire a toxic gain of function that is detrimental to striatal neurons in the brain. However, loss of a beneficial activity of wild-type huntingtin may also cause the death of striatal neurons. Here we demonstrate that wild-type huntingtin up-regulates transcription of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a pro-survival factor produced by cortical neurons that is necessary for survival of striatal neurons in the brain. We show that this beneficial activity of huntingtin is lost when the protein becomes mutated, resulting in decreased production of cortical BDNF. This

Metformin (1,1-dimethylebiguanide) is the most widely prescribed antidiabetic drug that belongs to the biguanide class. It is very well tolerated and has the major clinical advantage of not inducing hypoglycemia. This drug has been shown to inhibit the energy-sensitive AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway that leads to reduced protein synthesis and cell proliferation. Encouraging evidences from many retrospective population-based studies and preclinical studies have shown that metformin could potentially be used as an efficient anticancer drug in various neoplasms, such as prostate, breast, lung, pancreatic cancers. Metformin can induce apoptosis and autophagy in different melanoma cells independently of the BRAF or NRAS mutation status. Metformin

(CDKs) cyclin-dependent kinases are a family of serine/threonine kinases that are controlling progression throughout the cell cycle. In this review the main focus is going to be on cyclin D1 and other similar manner of functions. Cyclin D1 plays one of the most important roles in the cell cycle, because it will lead to progression through association with CDK4 and CDK6. The problem discussed is that within Cyclin D1 the DNA damage response and repairs alarms the chromosome stability. Metastasis has become a major cause of death in cancer patients that resulted in studies of cellular migration making it essential for tumor metastasis. Scientist have figured out that cyclin D1 binding of pk27 contributed to cellular migration. The review very comprehensive it is 9 pages of solid information even though 4 of the 9 pages are references. No, all the references are not related to the problem under
