Proto oncogenes:
Inhibitors of p53 (when activated, will inhibit p53 which is a tumour suppressor gene);
Apoptosis is restrained (if apoptosis is stopped, damaged cell will continue proliferating and develop tumour);
Sufficient cyclin (drives cell cycle forward forming tumour);
Eventually become oncogenes (which is why they are called proto oncogenes);
Cell cycle occurs normally (promotes tumor formation).
Tumour suppressor gene:
Apoptosis is promoted (on this, the damaged cells are killed so that they don't get to form tumour);
Eventually become inactive (this leads to cancer);
Inhibitors of cyclin (halts the unregulated cell division process);
Promoters of p53 (will stop cell cycle to repair the damaged DNA);
Cell cycle is restrained (slows tumour formation).

Indicate whether each of the following descriptions applies to an oncogene, a proto-oncogene, or a tumor suppressor gene. Some descriptions may apply to more than one of these gene types. Drag the gene types on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to match the descriptions. Gene types can be used once, more than once, or not at all. Reset Help oncogene - gene(s) whose presence can cause cancer. proto-oncogene -gene(s) whose absence can cause cancer. tumor suppressor...
Contrast what tumor suppressor genes and proto-oncogenes do in their normal and cancer-promoting states. Normal Cancer-promoting Tumor suppressor gene (Proto-)oncogene
Label the following as either proto-oncogene, oncogene or tumor suppressor 3. A gene that initiates apoptosis when DNA damage occurs a. b. A gene that initiates the transition from G1 to S phase A gene that inhibits the transition from G1 to S phase c. d. A gene that promotes cell growth, combined with a hyperactive promoter How would methylation of the promoter of the gene in question 3c affect the cell? Be specific using what you know about the...
Both proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes help control the cell cycle. Genes called encode for cyclins that promote the cell cycle, while encode for cyclins that stop the cell cycle. Mutations within these genes cause cells to continue replication without regulation and form Both proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes help control the cell cycle. Genes called encode for cyclins that promote the cell cycle, while encode for cyclins that stop the cell cycle.
Why do loss of function mutations in p53 often lead to mutations in other genes? See Section 19.6 (Page) O p53 normally functions as a tumor suppressor to stop the cell cycle after DNA damage occurs. O p53 normally functions as a tumor suppressor that encourages cell growth by triggering specific phases of the cell cycle O p53 normally functions as a proto-oncogene to stop the cell cycle after DNA damage occurs. O p53 normally functions as a proto-oncogene that...

1. Viral integration into the cellular genome may convert a proto-oncogene into a transforming oncogene 2. Immunosuppressive drugs used to prevent graft rejection include drugs (like Imuran) that result in generalized suppression of all dividing cells and drugs that target T cells (like cyclosporine A) 3.
