MPF promotes the entrance into mitosis (the M phase) from the G 2 phase by phosphorylating multiple proteins needed during mitosis. MPF is activated at the end of G 2 by a phosphatase, which removes an inhibitory phosphate group added earlier.

Maturation or M phase-promoting factor (MPF) is the universal inducer of M phase common to eukaryotic cells. MPF was originally defined as a transferable activity that can induce the G2/M phase transition in recipient cells.

2022年9月12日 · Maturation promoting factor (MPF) is a cell cycle checkpoint that regulates the passage of a cell from the G2 growth phase to the M phase. It is also known as the G2 checkpoint, and ensures that DNA replication during the S phase did not produce any mistakes.

2025年1月23日 · Mitosis promoting factor (MPF), also known as maturation promoting factor, is a complex of proteins that plays a crucial role in regulating the eukaryotic cell cycle. Specifically, MPF consists of cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) and cyclin B. Together, these entities activate the process of mitosis, the division of the cell nucleus.

2015年2月25日 · Maturation or M phase-promoting factor (MPF) is the universal inducer of M phase common to eukaryotic cells. MPF was originally defined as a transferable activity that can induce the G2/M phase transition in recipient cells.

Maturation-promoting factor (MPF) is a cell cycle control element able to cause cells to enter M-phase upon microinjection and will induce metaphase in nuclei incubated in cell extracts. Previous work has shown that MPF is composed of a complex between …

Maturation-promoting factor (MPF) is a cell cycle control element able to cause metaphase when injected into amphibian oocytes or when incubated with nuclei in a cell-free system.

In this study, by biochemical and genetic experiments in human cells, we show that at the end of mitosis timely MPF inactivation requires activity of the Fcp1 phosphatase. We identified Cdc20, Usp44 and Wee1 as crucial Fcp1 targets.

Explain the role of the cytoskeleton (and associated motor proteins) during mitosis and cytokinesis, including how dynamic instability contributes to the formation and function of the mitotic spindle. Describe how signaling events are used to end mitosis, starting at anaphase and followed by the transition of the cell back into G 1.

2025年2月3日 · Mitosis promoting factor (MPF), known as maturation promoting factor (MPF) in the context of meiosis or cell cycle promoting factor (CPF) in some organisms, is a key regulator of cell division. It is a protein kinase complex consisting of …
