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
