Tag: G1/S checkpoint
Cell Cycle Checkpoint
Cell‑cycle checkpoints act as surveillance systems that monitor DNA integrity, replication completeness and spindle attachment. The G1, G2 and spindle checkpoints prevent cells with damage or misaligned chromosomes from dividing, ensuring accurate genome transmission and protecting against genomic instability and cancer.
G1/S transition
The G1/S transition is the critical checkpoint where a cell commits to DNA replication. It integrates cyclin–CDK activity, Rb phosphorylation, and E2F activation to ensure accurate S‑phase entry. Proper regulation protects genomic stability and prevents uncontrolled proliferation.
