- Describe the general process of cell signalling pathways: what events take place for a signal to cause cellular changes? Provide examples and how perturbation of these events can result in “cancer pathways”. In addition, describe in detail a typical cancer pathway and its strategy to activate gene expression. What is the origin of many cancer pathways, i.e., during which stage of an organism’s live process(es) are they physiologically activated? Why is this important for cancer development?arrow_forwardDescribe the effects of the mutation causing the p21 promoter to no longer bind p53 on cell signaling pathways and metabolism or cell cycle control.arrow_forwardDescribe error prone polymerases and the process of translesion synthesis (TLS).

- p53 iš an important tumor suppressor gene that is activated in response to a variety of stress signals. Upon activation it induces a cell cycle arrest or cell death. Hence, loss-of-function mutations in the p53 gene are found in almost every type of cancer. How do you predict loss-of-function mutations in the DNA binding domain of the p53 protein affect its function?

If the consequence of a mutation/drug/virus results in a cdk being inactivated or inhibited, then the cell cycle is stopped at the given checkpoint. cdc2 kinase Inactive 1) Given the following diagram of a mechanism regulating the cell cycle of the fission yeast S. pombe.

- D) The level of carbon dioxide increases with the level of available oxygen. 60) The TPS3 gene provides instructions for making a protein called tumor protein p53. Known as the guardlan of the genome, this protein acts as a tumor suppressor, which means that it regulates cell division by keeping cells from growing and dividing t0o fast or in an uncontrolled way. The p53 protein is located in the nucleus of cells throughout the body, where it attaches directly to DNA and plays a critical role in determining whether the DNA will be repaired or the damaged cell will self- destruct (undergo apoptosis). If the DNA can be repaired, p53 activates other genes to fix the damage. If the DNA cannot be repaired, this protein prevents the cell from dividing and signals it to undergo apoptosis. Suppose chromosomes in a skin cell are damaged by ultraviolet radiation. If the damaged genes do not affect p53, which choice correctly predict if the cell will become cancerous and why? No, the cell will not…arrow_forwardPlease asaparrow_forwardDespite being small animals, naked mole rats are almost entirely resistant to cancer.
