Q

what does active Ras do

A

activates Raf

30
Q

what does activated Raf do

A

activate MAP kinase kinase

31
Q

what does MAP kinase kinase do

A

activate MAP kinase

32
Q

what does MAP kinase do

A

stimulate c-Fos transcirption

33
Q

what happens after the cell passes the restrition point

A

it can go through the S, G2, M phases of cell cycle in the absense of growth factors

34
Q

what is the key target for cycline D-CDK4/6 compelx

A

retinoblastoma protein (RB)

35
Q

fucntion of Rb

A

binds to E2F proteins

36
Q

functino of E2F proteins

A

transcription factors, stimulate transciriiption of cyclin E and cyclin A and CDK2.

37
Q

when E2F is bound to Rb how does it function

A

as a repressor instead of activator

38
Q

when cyclin E-CDK2 is present, Rb phosporylation because what

A

independt of cyclin D-CDK4.6

39
Q

INK4

A

growth inhibitory factors taht compete with cyclin D for binding to CDK4/6

40
Q

p27KIP1

A

small protein that forms a compelx with cyclin A-CDK2,

41
Q

what is the most important driver of events leading up to mitosis

A

CDK1

42
Q

when is cyclin A present

A

from early S phase

43
Q

when does cyclin B synthesisi ahppen

A

late in S phase, incrases through G2

44
Q

when is the peak levle of cyclin B

A

metaphase of mitosis

45
Q

the cyclin/CDK1 complexes are held in an inactivate state until when

A

DNA replication is completed

46
Q

what triggers activation of anaphase promoting complex

A

appropriate arrangement of chromosomes and attachment to mitotic spindle in metaphase

47
Q

how does protein dephosphorylation affect the effects of cyclin/CDK1 actiity

A

reverse

48
Q

ATM

A

detects replication forks, activates another kinase that preents dephosphorylation and activation of cyclin/CDK1 complexes needed to enter mitosis

49
Q

when is ATM active

A

as long as replication forks are present

50
Q

what is anaphase depend ont

A

association of all chromosomes with the spindle
