The relationship between circadian system and cell cycle
Vrtílková, Andrea ; Bendová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Fárková, Eva (referee)
The circadian system is able to oscillate by itself owing to the transcriptional-translation feedback loop. Components of this loop do not affect just their own run, but they also have an impact on some other functions of the cell, for example cell cycle. This interaction is made by clock proteins (PER, CRY etc.) and by clock-controlled proteins (WEE1, TIM, XPA etc.). These proteins participate in the cell cycle run and have an impact on check-points. Disruption of the circadian clock can cause faults in cell cycle check-points, storing of DNA damages and increased cell apoptosis or tumor progression. Key words: circadian systém, cell cycle, WEE1, XPA, P21, C-Myc, TIM, PER
DNA damage response in green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Scenedesmus quadricauda
HLAVOVÁ, Monika
The effect of FdUrd, zeocin, caffeine and their combination on the cell cycle of green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Scenedesmus quadricauda and response of these model organisms to DNA damage were studied. Both, FdUrd and zeocin, caused DNA damage that led to cell cycle arrest in these algae. In contrast, caffeine partially abolished G2 phase block imposed by zeocin. Protein levels of three crucial cell cycle regulators - CdkA, CdkB and Wee1 kinases were measured to identify mechanisms controlling reaction to DNA damage.
