This may occur because light-induced damage to DNA activates the G2 checkpoint, and the cells return to interphase 15. In general, progression through mitosis and overall cell health is achieved ...

The cell's DNA is replicated in S phase and segregated in M phase (mitosis). In somatic cells, these phases are separated by gaps: G1 (unreplicated chromosomes) and G2 (replicated chromosomes).

HIV-1 Vif induces a unique and prolonged pseudo-metaphase arrest by disrupting phosphatase feedback regulation at the kinetochore.

TEDC1 and TEDC2, functions in generating centriolar triplet microtubules, and that this is crucial for the proper formation of centriolar subdomains and the stability of centrioles throughout the cell ...
