    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.
