Twist transcription factors (TF) play key roles in embryonic development and are largelyundetectable in normal adult tissues; however, their expression is reactivated during tumorprogression and correlates with invasive and metastatic lesions. Transcription of the Twistgene is activated by Wnt signals and the Twist TF represses the gene for E-cadherin.Answer the following questions as briefly as possible, based on what was presented in class,not an internet search (complex answers that go beyond class material may lose points)a. Outline the steps from the Wnt signal to the E-cadherin gene (inclusive);e.g., A → B → C (with some clarifications such as “binds to”, “activates”, “represses”)b. What are the normal cellular and embryonic (morphological) consequences of Twist expression?c. How would inappropriate expression contribute to cancer?
Discuss how oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are related to genes involved in the control of normal growth and development.
Cancer-promoting mutations are likely to have different effects on the activity of proteins encoded byproto-oncogenes than they do on proteins encodedby tumor-suppressor genes. Explain.
Please answer all question below. These are all the questions left.Question 7: Select one answer.What sequence describes how a steroid hormone impacts gene expression?a. Steroid hormone crosses the plasma membrane, binds to an intracellular hormone receptor in the nucleus, then regulates transcription. b. Steroid hormone binds with a plasma membrane receptor, then crosses the plasma membrane, then binds to DNA and regulates transcription.c. Steroid hormone crosses the plasma membrane, binds to an intracellular hormone receptor in the cytoplasm, the receptor hormone complex then binds to DNA and regulates transcription.d. Steroid hormone crosses the plasma membrane, binds DNA and regulates transcription.NOTE: A IS INCORRECTQuestion 8: Select one answer.How do peptide hormones affect a target cell’s transcription?a. They bind to the receptor on plasma membrane and initiate a signaling pathway that regulates transcriptions. b. They bind to the plasma membrane get taken inside and bind…
Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion topic: molec bio - cell signaling Describe the role of notch and delta in development. What is lateral inhibition? The notch/delta signaling pathway is a good example of pathways which involve signal-induced protein cleavage. How does this process regulate notch/delta function?
The oscillatory clock that drives somite forma-tion in vertebrates involves three essential componentsHer7 (an unstable repressor of its own synthesis), Delta (atransmembrane signaling molecule), and Notch (a trans-membrane receptor for Delta). Notch is bound by Delta onneighboring cells, activating the Notch signaling pathway,which then activates Her7 transcription. Normally, thissystem works flawlessly to create sharply defined somites(Figure Q21–2A). In the absence of Delta, however, onlythe first five somites form normally, and the rest are poorlydefined (Figure Q21–2B). If a pulse of Delta is suppliedlater, somite formation returns to normal in the regionswhere Delta was present (Figure Q21–2C). A diagram ofthe connections between the components of the clockand how they interact in adjacent cells is shown in FigureQ21–2D. In the absence of Delta, why do the cells becomeunsynchronized? What is it about the presence of Deltathat keeps adjacent cells oscillating in synchrony?
Homeotic genes(A) encode transcription factors that control the expression ofgenes responsible for specific anatomical structures.(B) are found only in Drosophila and other arthropods.(C) are the only genes that contain the homeobox domain.(D) encode proteins that form anatomical structures in the fly.
Below are two cell signalling pathways that work together to regulate cell growth, proliferation and ultimately the size of organs in O.Extremus. In other closely related organisms, dysfunction of these pathways has been associated with tumor growth. mTOR pathway: 1. Growth factors bind and stimulate the receptors. 2. Receptors can activate the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) – Akt signaling pathway. 3. The activated Akt, a serine threonine kinase, inhibits theTSC1–TSC2 complex, allowing Rheb to activate mTORC1. 4. In parallel, amino acids activate the mTORC1 pathway through a mechanism requiring the Rag– Ragulator complex. Hippo pathway: 1. The binding of the ligand activates the receptors which activate Mst and Lats. 2. YAP activity is modulated by phosphorylation of Mst and Lats. YAP upregulates miR-29, which in turn downregulates PTEN, an inhibitor of PI(3)K and Akt. So, the two pathways crosstalk and coordinate cell number and growth. a) What purpose does this forward…
The C-myc gene is a proto-oncogene which is highly expressed in breast tissue and appears to cause proliferation of breast tissue and its elevated expression is associated with breast cancer. Based just on the ChIP data from the previous questions (also shown below), which of the three drugs (estrogen, tamoxifen and raloxifene) would you recommend for treating breast cancer? Justify your response and explain the potential side effects of each drug.
TGF-β1 is a protein that affects cell growth and differentiation. Scientists conducted an experiment where epithelial cells were treated with transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) in the laboratory. At the end of the experiment, the epithelial cells had transformed through several stages from epithelial cells to embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to neural progenitor cells (NPCs), and finally to cortical neurons (CNs). The scientists observed the transformation of the cells by analyzing gene expression at certain stages (M1-M7) and determined the relative gene expression level, as shown in the graph. The graph shows the relative gene expression level for cells at different stages of differentiation. Which of the following claims could account for the differences in gene expression at each stage of cell differentiation, and how does this correlate with the distance of the genes on the chromosome? A - Cell differentiation is controlled by RNA translation, but there is no…
