Q

What is the action of c-Fos?

Study These Flashcards
A

Stimulate the transcription of delayed response genes

22
Q

What are early response genes?

Study These Flashcards
A

Genes that are stimulated very soon after the addition of growth factors

23
Q

What do delayed response factors encode?

Study These Flashcards
A

Mid-G1 cyclins and CDKs

Late G1 cyclins and CDKs

24
Q

What type of kinase is the growth factor receptor?

Study These Flashcards
A

Tyrosine kinase

25
What is the order of the assembled complex that binds to the growth factor receptor?
GRB2, Sos, and Ras
26
What type of cascade is the growth factor cascade?
MAP-kinase cascade
27
What does Sos do?
Promotes the phosphorylation of Ras to the GTP bound form
28
What does Ras activate? What class is this molecue?
Raf--a protein kinase
29
What is the action of Raf?
phosphorylates MAP kinase kinase
30
What is the action of MAP kinase kinase? What does that molecule do?
Phosphorylates MAP kinase, which enter the nucleus and activates c-Fos transcription
31
True or false: growth factors are still needed after c-Fos is activated?
False
32
What is the target for CDK4/6 complex?
Rb protein--they phosphorylate this
33
What are Rb proteins?
Proteins that bind to, and inhibit E2F proteins
34
What are E2F proteins?
Transcription factor that activates the late G1 cyclin, S phase cyclin, and the S-phase CDK
35
What is the function of the E2F/Rb complex?
Recruit HDACs--inhibit DNA transcription
36
What does phosphorylation of the Rb/E2F complex by CDK4/6 complex do?
Separates Rb ad E2F, allowing E2F to function
37
Cyclin E and CDK2 are generated by E2F. What does this complex do?
Autostimulates E2F disassociation from Rb
38
What is the action of INK4 proteins?
Specificially inhibit CDK4/6 activity by competing with cyclin D for binding with CDK4/6.
39
What is the action of p27KIP1?
Inhibits cyclin A-CDK2 (the cyclin/CDK in S phase) by binding the cyclin A/CDK2 complex
40
Phosphorylation of p27KIP1 does what?
Disassociates p27KIP1 from the cyclin A/CDK2 complex, allowing the complex to phosphorylate (activate) the origins of replication for DNA synthesis
41
What does the CyclinA/CDK2 complex do?
Phosphorylates the origins of replication and begins the synthesis of DNA
42
When is cyclin A present? Cyclin B?
A from the beginning of S | B from late in S
43
CDK1/cyclin A (or B) are inactivated until what time? How are the activated? What do they do?
Activated after DNA has been fully replicated Phosphorylation actives them Activate mitosis
44
What is the function of ATM?
It detects replication forks, activating another kinase to prevent dephosphorylation of cyclin/CDK1
45
What complex is inhibited when kinetochores are not associated with a spindle fiber?
Anaphase promoting complex
46
What is the action of p27KIP1 ?
inhibition of the cyclinA/CDK2 complex (which activates S phase)
47
What is the action of p53 protein?
Activates p21CIP1.
48
What is the action of p21CIP1?
Inhibits BOTH cyclin/CDK1 and cyclin CDK2 commplexes, completely stopping progression of the cell.
49
Assume there is a double stranded break in DNA. What protein will detect this? Describe the signalling pathway leading to inhibition of further cell progress (Hard, 3 steps in the pathway).
1. ATM/ATR detect DNA break, activate p53 2. p53 activated p21^KIP1 3. Inhibition of CDK2/cyclin E, and CDK1/cyclinA
50
Defects in genes that encode ATM/ATR leads to what disease?
Ataxia telangiectasia
