CELL INJURY, ADAPTATIONS AND DEATH - 2 Flashcards

Covers ppts - Part 3 and 4 i.e. Cell Death , Intracellular accumulations and Cell death

1
Q

List the Anti-apoptotic proteins

Location?

How do they prevent cell death?

A

Bcl-2, Bcl-x, and Mcl-1

reside in the cytoplasm and in mitochondrial membranes

control mitochondrial permeability

prevent leakage of mitochondrial proteins that have the ability to trigger cell death

Q

Column B represents?

A

Apoptosis

a ladder pattern is seen due to the action of calcium and magnesium dependent endonucleases that cleave DNA at internucleosomal linker regions which occur at 180 base pair intervals in the genome.
