Q

What phases is E2F active in?

A

G1 and S phases - cyclin A promotes destruction of E2F, hence the cyclin binding site

Q

Does E2F interact with:

a) HDAC
b) HAT

A

HAT

17
Q

What is BRG1 and what is the relevance to the restriction point?

A

ATP dependant chromatin remodeller. Can slide nucleosomes along DNA and can loosen or tighten DNA

18
Q

What does cyclinD/cdk4 phosphorylate on Rb?

A

Residues in CTD

19
Q

What happens directly after phosphorylation of CTD of Rb?

A

Interaction between CTD phosphates and lysines in binding pocket (ASB)
This cases dissociation of HDAC from B domain and exposes ser-567

20
Q

What does loss of HDAC from Rb allow?

A

Expression of cyclin E - under promoter sensitive to chromatin structure - HAT is still bound to loosen chromatin

21
Q

How does cyclin E/cdk2 contribute towards the release of E2F?

A

Phosphorylates Ser-567, only available when Rb is in kinked conformation - this frees E2F

22
Q

When does BRG1 dissociate from Rb in the phosphorylation pathway?

A

It does not need to

23
Q

What oncoproteins have structural similarities to E7?

A

E1A, large T antigen
