1º Question
Can G1 phase nuclei initiate DNA synthesis when
coincubated with S phase nuclei and cytosol?
Early S
phase
Nuclei of nuclei
late S
phase
Percentage of nuclei replicating against ratio of S to G1nuclei
Contaminats in S phase
elonagated in the absence of
Cyclin/Cdk. (resistant to
DMAP)
Why?
Cyclin A and E/Cdk2 are able to replace the nuclear extract and
initiate replication in G1 nuclei with the same efficiency as the
nuclear extract S.
