Electronic Notebook
- I visited the SGD Database and we chose the CLN1 gene as the model organism.
 - First, searched through information on the SGD database and found the following going from the top to the bottom of the page:
- Overview: regulation of cell cycle promoting first growth phase to S phase.
 - Found on chromosome XIII; also provides the sequence.
 - Cyclin dependent protein kinase.
 - Found within the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
 - Encodes for a G1 cyclin which regulates the cell cycle.
 - Cyclins are essential because they activate CDKs at the correct times within the cell cycle.
 - Provides length of protein to be 546 a.a., PI to be 5.62, and molecular weight to be 62038.2
 - ANother observation on the website, it provides additional literature regarding the study of CLN1.
 
 - I then searched on the NCBI Gene Database and gathered what I thought to be relevant information going from the top to the bottom of the webpage:
- A protein coding gene also known as YMR199W
 - The genomic sequence is NC_001145.3
 - Provides various interactions with other genes, however this list is extensive/exhaustive and not essential to understand the function of the gene.
 - Provides further links to PubMed articles on CLN1.
 - Ontology processes: cell cycle, cell division, G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle, regulation of serine/threonine kinase activity.
 - Name of the protein: NP_013926
 - Name of mRNA: NM_001182706.1
 
 
Acknowledgements
- Met outside of class with Eddie Azinge to discuss any questions we had prior to meeting and throughout the process of completing the Week 4 assignment.
 
While I worked with the people noted above, this individual journal entry was completed by me and not copied from another source.
