Responda
  • Rb
  • p53
  • p21

Questão 22

Questão
Which is NOT correct regarding cell cycle control?
Responda
  • Phosphorylation of Rb leads to growth factor independent G1/S progression.
  • A loss-of-function mutation in the p53 gene leads to a rapid accumulation of pro-cancer mutations.
  • Cyclin D is an inhibitor of Rb, which in turns is an inhibitor of E2F.
  • p53 upregulates BAX which activates the extrinsic apoptotic pathway.
