Move it Along! Cyclins, CDKs and the Cell Cycle

Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are positive regulators of the cell cycle - their functions help the cell cycle move from one stage to the next. But how do cyclins and Cdks move the cell cycle forward? By (in)activating proteins - at the right time, and in the right order! In this video, we’ll answer some important questions about cell cycle regulation, like: 00:00 Intro 00:47 What are kinases? How does phosphorylation impact proteins?? 02:17 What are cyclins? 03:05 How do cyclin concentrations change? 04:09 How do cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases move the cell cycle forward? 04:53 How does Rb protein (retinoblastoma) regulate the cell cycle? 06:23 What is MPF? What does MPF target? 07:19 What are positive and negative regulators of the cell cycle? 07:32 What are proto-oncogenes and oncogenes? #cyclins #cyclindependentkinase #cellcycle #mpf Related Videos: What is G0?:    • In or Out (of the Cell Cycle)? What is G0?   Label a DNA Replication Fork:    • Label a DNA Replication Fork: A Guide to t...   Cell Cycle Checkpoints:    • Let's Double-Check: Cell Cycle Checkpoints!   New videos are always on the way - subscribe so you don't miss any of my biology tips :) Connect with me!
