Q

p53 can induce apoptosis in two different ways

A

25
p53 involved in apoptosis through what method
transcriptional regulation | inhibits the anti-apoptotic genes
26
one of the mechanisms of apoptosis (intrinsic) is initiated by what in mitochondria
pore formation of outer membrane of mitochondria
27
once pore is formed in mitochonrdia what happens4

28
bak and bax form
homeodoimers
29
bcl-2 is what kind of protein
anti-apoptotic protein
30
bak and bax are
pro-apoptotic proteins
31
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
32
Rb is inhibitor of
E2F
33

phosphatase
48
cdc25 does what
removes inhibitory phosphate group on cyclin b cdk 1 complex put on by wee1
49
cak stands for

50
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
51
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
52
what takes the cell through the initial phases of mitosis up to metaphase

metaphase
54
before mitosis there is duplication of
centrosome
55
from two what do microtubule spindle radiate out from

separate sister chromatid allowing them to be pulled apart to separate poles
63
without metaphse to anaphse checkpoint could end up with
aneuploidy
64
mad2 function
sense if all sister chromatids are boudn to microtubule spindle if they aren't lined up prevents apc/c so it doesn't go into anaphse until its ready
65
mad 2 prevents activation of
apc/c
66
telophase
nuclear envelope reforms
67
in metaphase there is degradation of what and then activation of what
degradation of all the cyclin CDK complexes, activation of APC/C

69
is there inflammation with apopt.
no
70

73
when is apoptosis important in development
limb formation, dies so we get fingers, etc. | hollow structures
74
describe some things that happen to the cell during apoptosis
Phosphatidylserine translocated from cytoplasmic leaflet to extracellular leaflet of plasma membrane Membrane “blebbing”: Cell contents not released, little inflammation Loss of substrate attachment, rounded phenotype Decrease in cell volume Depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential Activation of caspases (cysteine proteases), Endonuclease activation DNA degradation, RNA also degraded Chromatin condensation forming crescent bodies

83
FADD
fast associated death domain protein
84
what is major caspase of extrinsic pathway

one pro-caspases needs to do what to get active
cleaved
88
