Questions and Answers

What happens during early G1 phase regarding RB and E2F?

  • RB binds to E2F and prevents transcription activation (correct)
  • RB phosphorylates E2F to enhance transcription
  • RB dissociates from E2F to allow transcription activation
  • RB degrades E2F to inhibit transcription

What is one method by which RB blocks transcription?

  • Sequestering E2F and preventing it from interacting with other transcription activators (correct)
  • Promoting E2F nuclear localization for transcription activation
  • Enhancing E2F interaction with other transcription activators
  • Inhibiting E2F degradation to enhance transcription

What happens during inactivation of RB gene?

  • RB is dephosphorylated, leading to binding of E2F and DNA replication
  • RB is acetylated, leading to binding of E2F and DNA transcription
  • RB is degraded, leading to release of E2F and DNA transcription
  • RB is hyperphosphorylated, leading to release of E2F and DNA replication (correct)

What happens during reactivation of RB gene?
