clavage of nuclear lamin
281
Intrinsic pathway of caspase activation is via what type of pathway
mitochondrial
282
Intrinsic pathway is activated by
intracellular factors (oxidative stress, hypoxia, nutrient deprevation, & DNA damage)
283
Intrinsic pathway results in what
mitochondrial membrane permeabilization | cytochrome c leakage into the cytoplasm
284
What binds to cytochrome c in the cytoplasm
adaptor proteins
285
Adaptor proteins w/ cytochrome c form what
apoptosome
286
Apoptosome recruit what that forms what
caspases | forms an active initiator caspase
287
Active iniatiator caspase does what
activates executioner caspases
288
Executioner caspases lead to
cellular breakdown | apoptosis
289
What molecule creates pores for cytocrhome c to leak out
Bax
290
Is Bax pro-apoptotic or anti-apoptotic
pro-apoptotic
291
What does Bcl2 do
inhibits Bax
292
Is Bcl2 pro-apoptotic or anti-apoptotic
anti-apoptotic
293
What does Bad do
sequesters Bcl2 | allows Bax to create pores
294
Is Bad pro-apoptotic or anti-apoptotic
pro-apoptotic
295
What molecule promotes the aggregation of Bax so that it can create pores
p53
296
What does the extrinsic pathway for caspase activation involve
damaged cell displayes a death receptor on its surface
297
What recognizes the death receptor
killer lymphocyte
298
Cell-cell binding of the killer lymphocyte to the target cell results in
assembly of adaptor proteins into a death-inducing signaling complex
299
The death-inducing signaling complex leads to what & ultimately what
activates executioner caspases | apoptosis
300
Cells constantly decide if they will
divide, differentiate, or die
301
Sculpting organs requires
proliferation, survival, & apoptosis
302
Inadequate apoptosis in b/w digits leads to
syndactyly
303
Too little proliferation causes
Microphthalmia - small eye phenotype
304
Microphthalmia is a result of
genetic, environmental, or infectious | ex: maternal Vit A deficiency
305
Too much proliferation causes
``` Protein myostatin Mighty mice Texel sheep Belgian blue cattle Whippets ```
306
Protein myostatin is what
differentiation factor | prevents myogenesis
307
Mighty mice are transgenic mice mutants with
increased muscle mass & fiber number
308
Belgian blue cattle are often called what and have a mutation in what leading to what
double muscled mutation in myostatin more myocytes
309
Whippets have what after a mutation in myostatin
increased muscle mass
310
Examples of second messengers
Ras, cAMP, IP3, & DAG
311
What does GH stimulate in adipose tissue
release of FAs
312
What does GH stimulate in skeletal muscle
increase nutrient uptake & utilization
313
What does GH stimulated in bone
bone growth
314
What does GH stimulate in liver
increased IGF-1
