cell cykeln Flashcards
GEF
Protein or protein domain that activates monomeric GTPases by stimulating the realese of guanosine diphosphate (GDP)
GEF stands for Guanine nucleotide exchange factors
Ras
Gets “switched on” by GEF and then switches on other proteins
1st part of Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK signaling cascade
Raf
Gets “switched on” and then switches on other proteins
2nd part of Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK signaling cascade
MEK
Gets “switched on” and then switshes on other proteins
3rd part of Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK signaling cascade
ERK
Gets “switched on” and then goes into the nucleus
4th (last) part of Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK signaling cascade
Myc
All external signals (mitogens) converge on Myc. Myc is the start point of the rb pathway. which then leads to G1 cyclin expression.
G1 cylin
G1 cyclin expression requires a mitogen. Allows the cell to enter the G1 phase (with cdk)
Cdk
cyclin dependent kinase. Depends on a cylin to enter a cell cycle phase
Rb
Sits on E2F until it gets phosphorylated and realeses E2F.
E2F
When realesed by rb E2F has three ways it could go. It could go back to the G1/S phase and more complexes of rb and E2F can be realesed. It can initiate the S phase entry or it can create DNA polymerase (also used in s-phase)
Cdk/G1/S
continue to phosphorylate rb so that it releases E2F
cdk/s
phosphorylates cdc6 do that DNA replication can begin
cdc6
Sits on ORC until it gets phosphorylated and initiated by the cdk/S
ORC
ORC + mcm + replicosome will start DNA replication
Mcm
Attaches to ORC when cdc6 gets phosphorylated. Starts DNA replication with replicosome
Replicosome
carries out the replication of DNA
ARF
looks for damaged “always on”.inhibits mdm2 from sitting on p53
If damage is found it will lead to p53 accumilation
ATM
Looks for DNA damage. inhibits mdm2 from sitting on p53
If damage is found it will lead to p53 accumilation
mdm2
Sits on p53 until either ATM or ARF are activated.
p53
when DNA damage is found p53 will regulate the genes and decide if the cell will be repared or undergo apoptosis
P13K
gets signal from RTK (SH2) and send signal to PIP2
