Question

In normal cells, stathmin is inactivated by phosphorylation at the start of M phase. Phosphatases remove these phosphates as the cell transitions from M phase to G1. What enzyme is likely to be responsible for phosphorylating stathmin during M phase

Answer 1

Answer:

The enzyme that is responsible for this is the cyclin dependent kinase subunit of mpf

Explanation:

This enzyme is also known as cyclin dependent kinase subunit, CDKs. they are protein kinases and can function as cell cycle regulators. They have the power to modify different protein substrates that are useful for the progression of cell cycle. CDKs are inhibitors hence stathmin is inactivated by phosphorylation. They help to control cell divisions. DNA should not be damaged for cell to move from G₁ to the S phase.
