Study Notes
Negative Regulation
- Hypoxia causes damage to cells because cells need oxygen for cellular respiration.
- DNA is composed primarily of oxygen.
Retinoblastoma Protein
- A group of tumor suppressor proteins common in many cells.
- Negative if it is not phosphorylated.
- Positive if it is phosphorylated.
P53 and P21
- P53 and P21 are proteins in kilodaltons.
- These proteins were damaged or nonfunctional in cells that replicate uncontrollably.
- They primarily act in the G1 checkpoint when damaged DNAs were detected.
P53
- Recruits enzymes to repair DNA and trigger the production of p21.
- Halts the cell cycle by inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinase and preventing Rb phosphorylation.
- Regulates cell growth and monitors DNA damage.
- Halts progression of the cell cycle.
P21
- Binds with CDK and prevents Rb phosphorylation
- Inhibits cell cycle.
- Levels are controlled by P53.
Nitrogen Bases
- Composition of amino acids that can manipulate DNA.
