9. Explain the main events in S phase: S-Cdk, ORC. What is the key process being controlled here?
The main events in S phase:
S-CDK phosphorylates Cdc6 (degrades Cdc6)
Geminin accumulates and inhibits Cdt1
S-CDK phosphorylates ORC
S-CDK is responsible to stimulate the synthesis of DNA and chromosomal proteins (histones)
Active S-CDK phosphorylates Cdc6 and ORC for chromosome replication.
The key processes being controlled in S phase:
Replication of DNA
Synthesis of proteins associated with DNA
Active S Cyclin-CDK allows a single round of DNA synthesis per cell cycle
