Cell birth and death II Flashcards
exam 2
cells make decision to continue through cell cycle or to exit cycle and enter quiescent state
R- point
key substrates for Cyclin B-cdk1
lamins and histones
cyclin D binds to
Cdk4 and Cdk6
promiscuous
cyclin D
Cyclin B binds to
Cdk1
Cyclin E binds to
Cdk2
cyclin for phase G1
Cyclin D
cyclin for phase G1/S
Cyclin 2
Cyclins D and E drive cell through the R-point by
inactivating Rb protein via phosphorylation
mutations on average in the human body
10 to the ninth
example of stimulatory abnormality
cell divides in the absence of stimulation by external growth factors
example of inhibitory abnormality
cell divides when it should not, because inhibitory signal fails to reach nucleus
why have apoptosis?
Homeostasis
individual cancer cells can have different differential rates however, all have on thing in common. Apoptosis has to be what in all cells?
rate of growing has to be greater than the apoptosis rate
necrosis leads to
inflammation
