Cancer II 2 Flashcards
p53 can induce apoptosis in two different ways
- transcribes pro-apoptotic bcl-2 proteins
acts at mitochondrial membrane - directly binds to and 2. inhibits anti-apoptotic bcl-2 proteins
p53 is constantly
expressed in cells
under normal circumstances p53 is degraded by
MDM2
DNA damage what happens to p53
phosphorylated so MDM2 can’t bind to it
Mdm2 is
normal inhibitor of p53
so it is a proto-oncogene
kinase that can phosphorylate p53
ATM
ATM involved in which syndrome
ataxia Telangiectasia
AR
draw out pathway with dna damage and how p53 gets activated by it
43
p53 transcribes what to stop cell cycle
p21
if there are high levels of p53, and after cell cycle is stopped p53 levels continue to increase, what happens
it maks pro apoptotic
what does arf inhibit
mdm2
E1A
adenoviral oncogene that triggers excessive proliferation
E1A, c-myc, ras result in release of
release of E2F
E2F is involved in transcribing
transcribing cyclin E
if there are really high levels of oncogenic signaling, what happens with E2F
more active than usual
if there are really high levels of E2F it will transcribe
p14ARF
p14ARF inhibits
MDM2
ultimately what does p14ARF do
allows accumulation of p53 without phosphorylation
p53 doesn’t need to be phosphorylated because MDM2 is being inhibited
draw out cycle starting with E1A, cmyc and ras
pg 45
excessive myc production means theres a lot of
cyclin d being produced, ultiamtely a lto of E2F
MDM2 inhibits
p53
p14 arf inhibits
MDM2
p14arf indireclty allows activation of
p53
target genes for p53
p21
bax
dna repair enzymes
p53 involved in apoptosis through what method
transcriptional regulation
inhibits the anti-apoptotic genes
one of the mechanisms of apoptosis (intrinsic) is initiated by what in mitochondria
pore formation of outer membrane of mitochondria
once pore is formed in mitochonrdia what happens4
cytochrome c goes in and trigers apoptosis
bak and bax form
homeodoimers
bcl-2 is what kind of protein
anti-apoptotic protein
bak and bax are
pro-apoptotic proteins
p53 can heterodimerize with
bcl-2 to inhibit it - so bcl-2 can’t bind to bak or bax and therefore bak or bax will homodimerize and form pores
Rb is inhibitor of
E2F
p15 and p16 are
INK4 inhibitors of kinase 4
TGF beta pathway ultimately leads to increase of
p15 & p16
cyclin b cdk1 is
m phase cyclin
when is cyclin b cdk 1 expressed
all throughout G2 phase
cyclin b cdk1 is expressed through all of g2 cycle but only activated
when it goes from g2 into m phase
cyclin b cdk 1 also called
m cyclin
MPF
cyclin b is being produced all throughout
g2
cyclin b binds to
cdk1
two kinases active in regulating M-Cdk (Cyclin B CDK1)
wee 1
cdc25
cyclin b cdk 1 complex phosphorylated
2x
cdk activating kinase is
activating the complex cyclin b cdk 1 complex
wee1 kinase is
inactivating complex cyclin b cdk 1 complex
draw pathway for cyclin b cdk 1 complex in g2 phase
pg 54
when cell is ready to go into m phase there is activation of
cdc25
cdc25 is a
phosphatase
cdc25 does what
removes inhibitory phosphate group on cyclin b cdk 1 complex put on by wee1
cak stands for
cdk activating kinase
as son as cell is ready to go from g2 into m
cdc25 removes all the phosphates put on by wee1 on cyclin b cdk 1 complex and then it quickly goes into mitosis
explain how chromatin condensation, etc, stuff that is needed for mitosis is initiated
activated cyclin B CDK/1 complex phosphorylates the proteins associated w/ chromatin leading to condesnation of genome, etc, all the stuff needed for mitosis
what takes the cell through the initial phases of mitosis up to metaphase
cyclin B CDK-1 complex
chrom are maximally condensed by the time they are in
metaphase
before mitosis there is duplication of
centrosome
from two what do microtubule spindle radiate out from
centrosome
activation of m cyclin complex leads cell through
initial stages of mitosis up to metaphase
to go from metaphase to anaphase
there is a checkpoint
need to have activation of APC/C
what needs to be active to get from metaphase to anaphase
APC/C
