To your cultured cell lines, you add growth factors like cytokines which act through MAPK cascade pathway. Which transition will it trigger?(a) S->G2(b) M->Anaphase(c) G1->S(d) G2->MThe question was posed to me in an internship interview.My doubt stems from DNA Replication Eukaryotes topic in portion DNA Replication of Cytogenetics

Answer»

Correct answer is (c) G1->S

To EXPLAIN I would say: ONE of the primary checkpoints to overcome incase of proliferation is G1 -> S check point. MAPK cascade leads to TRANSCRIPTION of genes required to INCREASE the CDK activity that leads to this transition. Once S phase is completed the cell must undergo mitosis although there is another CHECKPOINT before Anaphase.
