| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the two kinds of cyclins? | G1 and G2 |
| What is CDK | cyclic dependant kinase |
| Whant does CDK kinase activity increase? | When G1 and G2 levels are higher |
| What special name goes with the cdk G2 cyclins? | cdc2 |
| What do the MPF complxes do? | phosphorylate nuclear lamins, H1 Histone, MAP kinase and cdc25 |
| What is MPF | It is teh complex of the cdc2 and the G2 cyclin cofactors together |
| What does MPF allow between complexes? | cross talk |
| What are teh checkpoints? | Other pathways that control the pathway of the cdk pathway within thecycle |
| Restriction point | Middle of G1 and allows the cell to progress to S phase |
| Where is teh check point to check completion of DNA replication? | End of S |
| Tumor suppression genes | During S phase. Checks for damaged DNA; If active it prevents the cell from progression. |
| Kinetochore-mitotic spindle associated checkpoint | During Mitosis and checks to make sure everythign is connected to the spindles |
| why are checkpoints important? | without them cancer occurs |
| Why do cancers occur? | checkpoints break down |
| Multi-kit hypothesis | One mutation cannot cause cancer |
| What are most common cancer mutaion? | in p53 and the blastoma (tumor suppressor gene) |
| Ungel genes | when over expressed cause cancer; will cause the cell to keep producing |
| How does retinoblastoma get phosphorylated to release E2F? | the GI cyclin/cdk complex phosphoyrlates the RB until it releases E2F |
| What is E2F? | a transcription factor that lead to S phase |
| DNA Damage ocogenes lead to what enzyme? | p53 |
| Where can p53 lead to if correction is not made? | apoptosis |
| Where can p53 lead to? | apoptosis or p21 |
