  • There are three amino acid residues responsible for this G2 to M phase transition. (wikipedia.org)
  • It was believed that Cdk2-cyclin E complexes are essential to drive cells through the G1-S phase transition. (elsevierpure.com)
  • Using cell synchronization methods we present that TSPY is certainly with the capacity of mediating an instant transition from the cells through the G2/M stage. (careersfromscience.org)
  • In particular, ubiquitin-mediated degradation is critically important at transition points where it provides directionality and irreversibility to the cell cycle, which is essential for maintaining genome integrity. (intechopen.com)
  • It takes as long as 74 days for an immature germ cell to develop into a mature male gamete, and during that time, there are many intermittent resting stages. (microbenotes.com)
  • These cells have the potential to become gametes but have not yet committed to the process. (jci.org)
  • The hormone testosterone is responsible for the activation of genes coding for the male gametes, and it also provides nutrients to the sperm cell during its development. (microbenotes.com)
  • The frequency of ICF cells with chromosomal aberrations seems to increase with passage number, 3,4,40 although this is not a consistent finding. (schleiden-eifel.de)
  • Gynogenesis and pseudogamy are closely related phenomena in which a sperm or pollen triggers the development of the egg cell into an embryo but makes no genetic contribution to the embryo. (alchetron.com)
  • The mitotic cyclins can be grouped as cyclins A & B. These cyclins have a nine residue sequence in the N-terminal region called the "destruction box", which can be recognized by the ubiquitin ligase enzyme which destroys the cyclins when appropriate. (wikipedia.org)
  • However, in mitotically growing cells this role can be fulfilled by the other B-type cyclins Clb1-Clb4. (ox.ac.uk)
  • D-type cyclins are usually synthesized by mid-G1 phase and accumulate to a maximum as cells advance through the G1/S boundary. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Cyclins and CDKs assemble into complexes with one another as cells progress through G1 phase, cyclins being required to activate the serine-threonine kinase activity of their catalytic partners. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The motility and depolymerization cycles in purely motile and purely depolymerizing kinesins are thus very different. (nature.com)
  • Both changes helped expedite the long-distance dispersal of spores and resistance to adverse environmental conditions, compared to the earlier form of motile cells [ 12 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • It begins with a primary spermatocyte that undergoes multiple changes to develop into a motile and matured sperm cell. (microbenotes.com)
  • Human sperm is a motile cell divided into a head, body, and a long tail. (microbenotes.com)
  • The latter mechanism facilitates a considerable degree of sister chromatid separation in securin-knockout cells that lack APC/C activity. (nature.com)
  • There are no prerequisites for studying Cell Biology. (uab.cat)
  • On the other hand, in a scientific discipline such as Cell Biology where most bibliography and information resources are in English, it is highly recommended that students have at least a basic knowledge of this language. (uab.cat)
  • Cell Biology is taught in the 1st semester of the 1st year of the degree in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, and also in the same period in other degrees of the Sciences and Biosciences Faculty. (uab.cat)
  • 15. Integrate and apply the theoretical knowledge acquired to interpret the results of simple scientific experiments and to solve simple experimental problems of cell biology. (uab.cat)
  • 16. Use the appropriate scientific terminology in the field of cell biology. (uab.cat)
  • 4. Describe the transport processes through the cell membranes. (uab.cat)
  • 11. Identify and describe the molecules, structures and processes involved in the relationship and communication of the cell with the external environment and with other cells. (uab.cat)
  • Development of new or improved laboratory/experimental techniques, instruments, or supporting software that measure the location and dynamics of molecules in situ, and organelles, cells, or tissues on the nanometer and micrometer length scales. (nih.gov)
  • The mutations of BRCA2 gene predispose the cells towards neoplastic development. (biomedcentral.com)
  • In animals , parthenogenesis means development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg cell. (alchetron.com)
  • This result demonstrated that mitotic entry was controlled by a diffusible cytoplasmic factor and not by a "nuclear clock. (wikipedia.org)
  • The granulosa cells produce a small molecule, cyclic GMP , that diffuses into the oocyte through the gap junctions. (wikipedia.org)
