Q

What are the steps of apoptosis

A

Chromatin compaction and segregation and codenstation of cytoplasma the intracellular contents protect these parts now go into phagocytosis

12
Q

What are the two types of caspases

A

Initiator caspases - activates effector caspases by cleaving them
Effector- cleave other protien substrates within the cell to trigger the apoptotic process

15
Q

What happens if there is no cytochrome c

A

Apaf-1 exists as a monomer

16
Q

How many Apaf monomers make up the wheel

A

7

17
Q

What is the equiviulaent to APAF1

A

CED-4

18
Q

What does the wheel do once it forms

A

Once caspase 9 is recurited it forms a dimer and activates initiator caspase

19
Q

What genes to be present to be pro survival

A

All BH 1-4

20
Q

What are pro apoptic members

A

When they don’t have all four it is for Bax and form channels in the membrane

21
Q

What does BH3 only protiens do

A

Regulate activity of Bcl-2 and Bax and Bak protiens

22
Q

What does CED9 resemble

A

Bcl-2

23
Q

What does Bcl-2 do

A

Inhibits apoptosis

24
Q

What do BH3 proteins do in nematodes and vertebrates

A

In neamatodes it blocks CED-9 and in veterbrates it blocks Bcl-2

25
Q

What does blocking Bcl-2 do

A

Bak can then go and pump cytc which will attach to apaf-1 and capase 9 to go and cleave effectors

26
Q

What does blocking CED-9 do

A

Activates Ced-4 and ced 3 and cleave cell protiens to induce apoptosis

27
Q

What can also trigger apoptosis

A

Loss of signal

28
Q

What does binding to a signal do

A

Bad and 14-3-3 bind and inacatviates Bad when it is lost Bad can bind to Bcl-2 and bak can pump cyt c

29
Q

What is the extrinsic apoptosis pathway

A

It is trigged by positive acting death signals from other cells and ligands bind to the death receptor activates initiator caspase 8 dimerizes it

30
Q

What is BID

A

it gets cleaved from caspase-8 which then binds to Bcl-2 that then releases cyt c and activates caspase-9 which actiated effector caspases

31
Q

What are two pathways of apoptotic pathways

A

Death signal
Trophic Factor withdrawl

32
Q

How does alzhemiers work

A

When there is an increased apoptosis a loss of neurons by aptosis

33
Q

What happens when there is too little apoptosis

A
  • Developmental defects
  • Cancer
    -Weekened immunity
34
Q

What is too much apoptosis

A
  • Neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson disease)
  • Ischemia/ reperfusion associated injury
    Autoimmune disease
35
Q

What is ischemia

A

Stroke depeltion of o2 blood to tissue low to high O2 if the clot resolves
