why is cyclin proteolysis regulation necessary
allows proper cell cycle porgression

how does ubiquitiniation and recognition of proteasome induce proteolysis
Ub + ATP → Enzyme1 binds to Ub → Ub activated
activated Ub transferred to E2
E2 (w/ Ub) interacts w/ E3 and brings together Ub and target protein (which binds to other BS on E3)
1st Ub binds to Lys on target protein (repeated)
when Ub tail long enough the 26S proteasome recognises it → target protein degraded and Ub released (recycled)

what are the two types of E3 ligase and how are they implicated in cell cycle control
APC/C = Anaphase Promoting Complex/cyclostome (mitosis/early G1)
active in early G1
trigger anaphase by degrading securin (allow chromatin separation) and cyclin A/B (to exit mitosis)
=> control M and reset into G1
SCF = Skip 1 Cullin F box protein complex (G1→S→ G2)
active from late G1 to G2
prevents DNA replication by degradation of CKIs, targeting TFs (EIIF) and Wee1 for degradation
=> controls progression through interphase

role of Fbox proteins (SCF) as substrate receptors/SCF
SCF key substrate = F box protein
when substrates/protein (e.g CKI) are phosphorylated (= phosphodegron) it signifies a signal for degradation
F box bound to E3 SCF will recognise the phosphodegron and induce Ub by E2 → target protein (e.g CKI) degradation

role od CDC20 and CDH1 as substrate receptors of APC/C
APC E3 1st pocket corresponds to E2 BS and the 2nd pocket binds either cdc20 or cdh1
Metaphase → anaphase : APC phosphorylated will allow interaction w/ cdc20 → degradation of cyclin B and securin by Ub
G1 : APC not phosphorylated will interact w/ cdh1 → degradation of cyclin A by Ub
cdc25 and cdh1 recognise specific AA sequence = D box or Ken box on target proteins

how does MPF (cyclinB/CDK1) regulate APC/cdc20 and APC/cdh1 to mediate proteolysis
MPF will phosphorylate cdh1 and phosphorylate APC —
P-APC interacts w/ cdc20 → degradation of securin (induces anaphase) and degradation of cyclin B → dissociation of cyclin B from CDK1 (no longer MPF)
inactive MPF increases phosphatase activity → de-phosphorylation of APC/cdc2o and cdh1
P-APC dissociates from cdc20
APC (now un-phosphorylated) can interact w/ cdh1
APC/cdh1 complex active to degrade cyclin A and cdc20

what is the relationship between MPF and phosphatase (PP2A)
