Ch. 9 P53 Flashcards
Mdm2
binds to p53 and triggers its ubiquitination
ATM and ATR phosphorylate p53
prevents binding of Mdm2
Binding of p53 and AP-1 and Ets
stimulate the transcription of mdm2
ARF
binds to Mdm2 and inhibits it
Inactivation of ARF by mutation or methylation of its promoter
can be demonstrated in many tumors
blebs
patches of plasma membrane bubbles
pyknosis
The nucleus collapses into a dense structure
Bcl-2
acts as an anti-apoptotic agent; opposite of p53
Cytochrome c molecules bind aggregate with Apaf-1 to form
the apoptosome
Executioner caspases cleave
”death substrates”- products create the apoptotic cell phenotype
P53 induces expression of the FAS death receptor, Induces expression of IGF
and inactivates IGFs to activate apoptotic pathway
