What are the protein targets in glioma cell lines
BAG3 (BCL2 Associated Athanogene 3) is a member of the BAG family of HSC/HSP70 co-chaperones. Studies were done by Festa et al., 2011 has shown that this protein is overexpressed in glioma and could be targeted for therapy. Downregulation of BAG3 resulted in increased sensitivity to apoptosis in in-vitro and in-vivo model of studies.

1) Antimicrobial X targets a specific protein in the cytoplasm of the bacterial cell, causing the bacteria to stop growing, but does not kill them. A few bacteria start to grow in the presence of antibiotic X. Analysis of the bacteria that can now grow shows that they have changed the shape of the target for antimicrobial X. What conclusion can be made? a) The change in shape of the target for antimicrobial X had no effect on the effectiveness...

When the Rb protein is phosphorylated it allows the cell to progress through the__checkpoint. OG1 OM os OG2 Question 8 2 pts What is the function of cyclin-CDK complexes? They prevent DNA replication from occurring so that a cell cannot go through the cell cycle The function as growth factors which tell the cell to divide when necessary They prevent a cell from being able to enter meiosis They phosphorylate cellular targets which allows the cell to progress to the...
Retroviruses are typically used for gene therapy approaches. The development of the retroviral packing cell lines was critical to the development of retroviruses as vectors for gene therapy. Explain how packing cell lines help to overcome the following problems a) In order to fir therapeutic genes into retroviruses some of the viruses’ essential genes must be replaced by the therapeutic genes. How then, is the viruses able to multiply to produce the viral particles necessary to infect targets? b) Wild-type...

4. Short response (2 sentences max, 6pts each) A. Many yeast species have only one cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk), which activates protein targets that drive events in multiple phases of the cell cycle. Why doesn't this Cdk activate G1-, S-, G2-, and M-phase proteins all at the same time? B. Please describe how cell death by apoptosis can play a beneficial role in the body's healthy growth. C. For a cell starting in G1, place the following cell cycle events in...
