traversing start control point of mitotic cell cycle
Definition
Target type: biologicalprocess
A cell cycle process by which a cell commits to entering S phase via a positive feedback mechanism between the regulation of transcription and G1 CDK activity. [GOC:mtg_cell_cycle]
The traversal of the Start (S) control point, also known as the restriction point, is a crucial step in the mitotic cell cycle. This transition marks the commitment of a cell to undergo a full round of division. Here's a detailed breakdown of the process:
1. **Signal Integration:** The decision to traverse the S control point depends on the integration of multiple intracellular and extracellular signals. These include growth factors, nutrients, and DNA damage status.
2. **Cyclin D and CDK4/6 Activation:** Growth factors stimulate the production of cyclin D, which complexes with CDK4/6 kinases. This complex phosphorylates the retinoblastoma protein (Rb).
3. **Rb Phosphorylation and E2F Release:** As Rb is phosphorylated, it undergoes a conformational change, releasing the transcription factor E2F.
4. **E2F Activation and Gene Expression:** Freed E2F activates the transcription of genes required for DNA replication, including cyclin E and A, as well as other proteins necessary for S phase entry.
5. **Cyclin E and CDK2 Activation:** Cyclin E accumulates and forms a complex with CDK2, which further phosphorylates Rb, leading to a sustained release of E2F.
6. **DNA Replication Initiation:** With the appropriate levels of cyclin E/CDK2 activity and E2F activation, the cell can now initiate DNA replication.
7. **Checkpoint Control:** The cell cycle progression through the S control point is tightly regulated by checkpoints. These mechanisms ensure that all conditions are favorable for DNA replication before the cell commits to this critical step. For example, DNA damage can activate checkpoint proteins that halt the cell cycle until the damage is repaired.
In summary, the traversal of the S control point is a complex process involving intricate signaling pathways, protein interactions, and checkpoint mechanisms that ensure the fidelity and proper timing of DNA replication in the mitotic cell cycle.'
