Answer
-
Cdk levels are usually constant

Cdk levels vary with cell cycle
Question 5
Question
All of the following are true about Cyclin D except?
Answer
-
It is made at the start of G1 by growth factor mediated gene transcription
-
Cyclin D binds and activates CDK4,6
-
Cyclin D is degraded at the end of G1
-
Cdk 4/6 is active in the absence of cyclin D
Question 6
Question
all of the following are true except?
Answer
-
Cyclin D-CDK 4/6 will phosphorylate Rb
-
Activated Rb will release E2F
-
E2F will cause Cyclin E synthesis
-
Cyclin E binds and activates CDK-2
-
Dephosphylated Rb is active
Question 7
Question
DNA damage-induced pathways target degradation of Cyclin D first and then Cyclin E which stops cell cycle progression true or false
Question 8
Question
hypophosphorylated Rb prevents E2F activity thereby preventing cell cycle progression true or false
Question 9
Question
All of the following about negative regulators of cell cycle are correct except?
Answer
-
INK4 (inhibitors of kinase4) family bind and inhibit only cyclin D-Cdk4/6 complexes at restriction point p15,p16
-
CIP (Cdk inhibitory protein) family bind and inhibit all cyclin-Cdk complexes at the restriction point p21
-
p16 normally inhibits Cdk4
-
in the absence of p16 Cdk 4 is active and phosphorylate Rb wichin in turn activates E2F
-
p16 normally activates Cdk4
Question 10
Question
Normally p53 levels are kept low by MDM2 true or false
Question 11
Question
All of the following about p53 are correct except?
Answer
-
p53 expressed at very high levels normally
-
DNA damage leads to phosphorylation of p53 stabilizing it and increasing its concentration
-
p53 acts as transcriptional activator increasing synthesis of Cdk inhibitor p21
-
p21 inhibits Cdk/ cyclin G1 and S complexes --> cell cycle arrest in G1
Question 12
Question
Abnormally high level of Myc causes systhesis of ARF which binds and inhibits MDm2 causing increase p53 which causes cell cycle arrest true or false
Question 13
Question
Cell cycle progression at check point 2 (G2-M) is regulated by phosphorylation of Cdk1-Cyclin B complex true or false
Question 14
Question
All of the following are inducers of apoptosis except?
Answer
-
Virus infected cells
-
DNA damage
-
Growth factor withdrawal
-
Ionising radiation
-
Calcium eflux
-
tumor necrosis factor
Question 15
Question
Following is the sequence of Extrinsic apoptotic pathway except?
Answer
-
Extrinsic apoptotic pathway is initiated by binding of death-inducing ligand to a death receptor (Cys-rich repeat in the extracellular domain)
-
Death receptor are FasR and TNF receptor which are integral membrane proteins with their receptor domains exposed at the surface of te cell
-
binding of the death activator (FasL and TNF-alpha) leads to activation of caspase -9
-
which in turn initiates a cascade of caspase activation leading to cell death
Question 16
Question
All of the following are pro-apoptotic genes except
Answer
-
Bcl-2
-
Bax
-
Diva
-
Bad
-
Bik, Bim
Question 17
Question
Bid links he 2 apoptotic pathways (extrinsic and intrinsic) true or false
Question 18
Question
Both pathways converge on the activation of Caspase-3,6,7 true or false
Question 19
Question
All of the following stimulate angiogenesis except
Question 20
Question
Hypoxia --> HIF which induces VEGF which binds to RTK and dramatically decreases metastatic potential - true or false
Question 21
Question
VEGF is secreted by all of the following except?
Question 22
Question
All the following statements are true except?
Answer
-
Bevacizumab blocks VEGF
-
Sunitinib, Sorafenib block VEGFR
-
Angiostatin inhibits plasminogen fragment
-
Endostatin inhibits endothelial cell BM collagen XVIII fragment
-
Tumstatin inhibits collagen IV fragment
-

Question 23
Question
All of the following are true except?
Answer
-
Serine proteases (uPA, tPA, plasminogen) activate MMPs
-
MMPs digest ECM by digesting type IV collagenase
-
Plasminogen promotes clotthing
