Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 12TYU
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: ORGANIZATION The properties of life emerge at the biological level of the cell. The highly regulated process of apoptosis is not simply the destruction of a cell; it is also an emergent property. Write a short essay (about 100–150 words) that hriefly explains the role of apoptosis in the development and proper functioning of an animal, and describe how this form of programmed cell death is a process that emerges from the orderly integration of signaling pathways.

Artificially induced apoptosis (controlled cellular death) is found to be an effective treat-
ment for some forms of cancer.
Which of the following describes the most likely mechanism by which apoptosis might be
induced?
A
B
с
D
by causing ribosomes to increase the rate of protein synthesis
by triggering the division of mitochondria in the cell to increase ATP production
by increasing the expression of membrane-bound glucose protein channels
by causing lysosomes to release digestive enzymes into the cytosol
The best strategy for treating a specific type of human tumor can depend on identifying the
type of cell that became cancerous to give rise to the tumor. For some tumors that have
colonized a distant location (metastasized), identifying the parental cell type can be difficult.
Because the type of IF protein expressed is cell-type-specific, using monoclonal antibodies that
react with only one type of IF protein can help in this identification. What IF proteins would you
produce monoclonal antibodies against to identify (a) a sarcoma of muscle cell origin, (b) an
epithelial cell carcinoma, and (c) an astrocytoma (glial cell tumor)?
Predict the effects of the following mutations on the ability of a cell to undergo apoptosis:a. Mutation in Bad such that it cannot be phosphorylated by protein kinase B (PKB)b. Overexpression of Bcl-2c. Mutation in Bax such that it cannot form homodimersOne common characteristic of cancer cells is a loss of function in the apoptotic pathway. Which of the mutations listed above might you expect to find in some cancer cells?

- Figure 9.8 HER2 is a receptor tyrosine kinase. In 30 percent of human breast cancers, HER2 is permanently activated, resulting in unregulated cell division. Lapatinib, a drug used to treat breast cancer, inhibits HER2 receptor tyrosine kinase autophosphorylation (the process by which the receptor adds phosphates onto itself), thus reducing tumor growth by 50 percent. Besides autophosphorylation, which of the following steps would be inhibited by Lapatinib? Signaling molecule binding, dimerization, and the downstream cellular response. Dimerization, and the downstream cellular response. The downstream cellular response. Phosphatase activity, dimerization, and the downsteam cellular response.arrow_forwardDescribe the steps of the signal transduction pathway for the cancer cells of today's Learn About It and Try It.arrow_forwardCancer is a complicated series of diseases characterized by over-proliferation of cells within a tissue. While in some instances the primary tumor is the ultimate cause of death, in many cases the primary tumor metastasizes, or moves, through the lymph system to invade other tissues. The migration of tumor cells requires changes in the adhesion properties of the cell that allow it to move and invade more readily. There are several molecules involved in cell-to-cell connections and cellular architecture: laminins, matrix metalloproteinases, cadherins, and integrins. While mutations in genes that control the cell cycle or recognize DNA damage are the causes of tumor cell formation, tumor cell spread to other tissues may be caused by mutations in the genes the code for these extracellular proteins. The loss of cellular connections, cellular identification and signaling, and tissue structure may lead to the release of expanding tumor cells into the circulatory and lymphatic systems.

- Many common medications function by interrupting the normal operation of certain signal transduction pathways. Which of the following describes a possible mechanism by which a certain medication may interrupt a signal transduction pathway? A A medication enters the target cell and triggers apoptosis by causing the release of di- gestive enzymes from cell lysosomes. B A medication interacts with the phospholipid bi-layer of the cell membrane and in- creases its permeability. с D A medication binds to membrane-bound glucose proteins and acts as an allosteric in- hibitor that prevents the intake of glucose by the cell. A medication diffuses through the membrane of a target cell and inhibits an enzyme that normally synthesizes a second messenger.arrow_forwardWhich of the following could result in the continuous activation of a cell signalling pathway? A mutation resulting in the inactivation of a protein phosphatase. A mutation resulting in the inactivation of adenylyl cyclase that forms cAMP. A mutation resulting in a receptor tyrosine kinase being unable to form a dimer. A mutation resulting in a ligand gated ion channel being unable to open.arrow_forwardNon-canonical Hedgehog signaling results in actin cytoskeleton rearrangements, leading to cellmovement and changes in cell shape.

- A cell is actively undergoing cell signaling. Random cytoplasm samples are taken at 10 ms intervals and their contents have all proteins inactivated. The samples are stained for phosphates attached to proteins. What pattern would you observe? Proteins maintain their phosphates throughout all of the samples There is a cycle of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation that occurs at regular intervals Proteins maintain a lack of phosphates throughout all of the samples Proteins start off being phosphorylated and then lose the phosphatesarrow_forwardDO NOT COPY IN GOOGLE OR BARTLEBY QUESTIONS: - WHEN do you think apoptosis occurs in humans? - What would be the effect if apoptosis doesn't happen? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER.arrow_forwardBelow 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…arrow_forward

Statement During animal development, proliferating cells become organized into sheets of cells called epithelia. Cadherins play and essential role in maintaining the integrity of these sheets in a process known as: Complex multicellular organisms rely on signaling molecules synthesized by one cell to bind to receptors on the surface of a second cell to regulate gene expression. This type of interaction between two different cells is a form of: The human body contains 200 distinct cell types, yet each cell contains the same genome.
