Term
Grb 2 protein does what>
Definition
Brings in a functioning protein that bind to a protein hat modifies GDP
Term
oncogenic mutations
Definition
keep RAS active all the time
Term
NF1 function loss
Definition
RAS stays active all the time because RAS can't be turned off
Term
Why doesn't breast cancer use ras?
Definition
It is related to growth factor receptor. Turns on the same pathway
Term
G protein matches what protein in this pathway
Definition
RAS
Term
A new anticancer drug is being designed whose goal it to block cancer mediated by mutated Ras proteins. Which drug would be least effective
Definition
One that blocks interaction o Ras with sos
Term
What are Bone Morphogen proteins?
Definition
Are groups of growth factors and cytokines that play critical roles in development, differentiation, proliferating, and apotosis
Term
What does ligand binding cause in BMP signaling?
Definition
Complex formation between two subunits of BMPR. Type II phosphorylates type I thenphosphorylates R-smad
Term
What does smad do?
Definition
After being activated it enters the nucleus and enters the nucleus and regulates gene expression
Term
The BMP can be bound by proteins that do what?
Definition
These Noggin proteins come from other cells and can bind to BMP and regulate a neighbor cell. Slowing cell cell interaction.
Term
What does I-smad do?
Definition
Suppresses active smad from inside the cell. Allows cross talk between pathways.
Term
What biological processes use BMP?
Definition
Mineralization bone formation.
Embryonic development of skeletal ad non skeletal tissues.
Term
What disorder is associated with altered noggin
Definition
Signaling would go up. joint problems because of effect on BMP
Term
What if there is a BMPR 1 mutaton
Definition
Connective tissue diseases BC BMP doesn't function during development
Term
What is sma4 is inactivated
Definition
Cancer. Tumor suppressing
Term
What are clinical BMP uses
Definition
promote repair of bone defects.
