Question
Chapter 15.4, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The activation of the gene on Philadelphia chromosome that codes for intracellular tyrosine kinase, contributing to the development of cancer.
Concept introduction:
Tyrosine kinase belongs to the group of protein kinases. It catalyzes the addition of a phosphate group from the ATP molecule generated, to a protein molecule. This addition aids in transferring a signal that induces the cell to divide.

- After DNA damage (e.g. caused by X-ray exposure) in eukaryotic cells, the cell cycle can be arrested by the stabilisation of the protein which drives the transcription of the gene, whose protein product interacts with the G1/S-Cdk and S-Cdk complexes. O PDGF, acetyltransferase O phenylalanine hydraxylase, PDGF O p53, acetyltransferase O p53, p21 O p21. p53arrow_forwardp53 gene, as is the Rb gene, is a tumor suppressor gene. p53 protein binds to DNA leading to the simulation of p21 that work together with cdk2. When p21 is defective and cannot joined to cdk2 the cell cannot pass through to the next stage of cell division. Mutated p53 cannot bind to DNA in an effective way, and therefore the p21 protein is not available to act as the 'stop signal' for cell division. Thus cells divide uncontrollably, and form tumors. Hi, can you please elaborate on this: based on the info above, what is the relationship between genetics and environment in the development of these type of cancer. Which factor (genetics or environment) is playing a larger role in the generation of these types of cancers?arrow_forwardDescribe the steps by which the TP53 gene responds to DNA damage and/or cellular stress to promote cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis. Given that TP53 is a recessive gene and is not located on the X chromosome, why would people who inherit just one mutant copy of a recessive tumor-suppressor gene be at higher risk of developing cancer than those without the recessive gene?arrow_forward
