GO:0010564

regulation of cell cycle process

Any process that modulates a cellular process that is involved in the progression of biochemical and morphological phases and events that occur in a cell during successive cell replication or nuclear replication events.

 

GO:0000086

G2/M transition of mitotic cell cycle

Progression from G2 phase to M phase of the mitotic cell cycle. The molecular event responsible for this transition is the activation of the major cell cycle cyclin-dependent kinase (e.g. Cdc2 in S. pombe, CDC28 in S. cerevisiae, Cdk1 in human).

 

GO:0051325

interphase

A cell cycle process comprising the steps by which a cell progresses through interphase, the stage of cell cycle between successive rounds of chromosome segregation. Canonically, interphase is the stage of the cell cycle during which the biochemical and physiologic functions of the cell are performed and replication of chromatin occurs.

 

GO:0051329

interphase of mitotic cell cycle

Interphase occurring as part of the mitotic cell cycle. Canonically, interphase is the stage of the cell cycle during which the biochemical and physiologic functions of the cell are performed and replication of chromatin occurs. A mitotic cell cycle is one which canonically comprises four successive phases called G1, S, G2, and M and includes replication of the genome and the subsequent segregation of chromosomes into daughter cells.

 

GO:0007346

regulation of mitotic cell cycle

Any process that modulates the rate or extent of progress through the mitotic cell cycle.

 

GO:0000278

mitotic cell cycle

Progression through the phases of the mitotic cell cycle, the most common eukaryotic cell cycle, which canonically comprises four successive phases called G1, S, G2, and M and includes replication of the genome and the subsequent segregation of chromosomes into daughter cells. In some variant cell cycles nuclear replication or nuclear division may not be followed by cell division, or G1 and G2 phases may be absent.

tRNA metabolic process

The chemical reactions and pathways involving tRNA, transfer RNA, a class of relatively small RNA molecules responsible for mediating the insertion of amino acids into the sequence of nascent polypeptide chains during protein synthesis. Transfer RNA is characterized by the presence of many unusual minor bases, the function of which has not been completely established.

 

GO:0014065
