Regulatory proteins that control cell cycle events

Cyclins

what is the difference between a deformation and a malformation?

A deformation is an extrinsic disruption and ocurrs after the embryonic period.



A malformation is an intrinic disruption and ocurrs during the embryonic period.

What is the difference between Agenesis and Aplasia?

Agenesis is absent organ due to absent primordial tissue



Aplasia is absent organ despite presence of primordial tissue


(Hypoplasia is incomplete organ, present primordial tissue)

What is sequence and disruption?

Sequence - abnormalities result from a single embryological event (primary)



Disruption - breakdown of a previously normal tissue. (secondary)

What Tumor suppressors control G1 to S progression

P53 and Rb

Mutations in p53 and Rb result in

Unrestrained cell division (e,g,Li-Fraumeni syndrome)

What does golgi do to modify aminoacids?

- Modifies N-oligosaccharides on asparagine.


- Adds O-oligosaccarides on serine and threonine.


- Adds mannose-6-phosphate to proteins for trafficking to lysosomes.


AA: SAT

What cells remain in G0?

Nuerons, skeletal and cardiac muscle, RBCs.

Describe the mechanism of
I cell disease

Inherited lysosomal storage disorder, defect in phosphotransferase.



Golgi cannot add mannose-6-phosphate on proteins and they get lost (sent extracellulary instead of to lysosomes)

What are some of the symptoms of I cell disease?

- Course facial features


- Clouded corneas


- Decresed joint movement


- High plasma levels of lysosomal enzymes.

What proteins are in charge of vesicular trafficking? And what do they do?

COPI:


Golgi-->golgi (retrograde); golgi-->ER



COPII:


Golgi-golgi (anterograde)


ER-->golgi



Clathrin:


- Trans golgi--> lysosomes


- Plasma membrane--> endosome (recepted mediated endocytosis e.g LDL)

What is Signal Recognition Particle (SRP)? What happens when its deficient?

cytosolic ribonucleoprotein that traffics proteins from the ribosome to the RER.



Absence results in protein accumulation in the cytosol.
