Textbook Question
Chapter 24, Problem 24.4CC
Both EGF (a mitogen) and TGFβ (when acting as an inhibitor) affect Cdk-cyclin complex function. Compare and contrast the ways in which EGF and TGFβ operate. What would happen if a cell were exposed to both at the same time?

TGF-B Receptor I (RI) phosphorylation of Smad2/3 does all of the following EXCEPT:
activate Smad2/3 binding to the Co-Smad Smad4
dissociate intramolecular binding of Smad2/3 MH1 and MH2 domains.
RI phosphorylation of Smad2/3 does all of these things.
release Smad2/3 from the nucleus into the cytoplasm
unmask the Smad2/3 nuclear localization signal (NLS).
The protein AKT/PKB is a critical regulator of essential cellular processes, and dysregulation of AKT has
been implicated in many diseases, including cancer. In the present study, we wanted to test if levels of
protein AKT changed in in EGF-stimulated epithelial, human breast cancer cell line when treated with
varying concentrations of a drug Chondramide (ChB; 30 nM or 100 nM) for different lengths of time (1
or 24 h). Cellular lysate was prepared for each experimental condition, and an equal concentration of
protein was loaded into a single lane of the SDS-polyacrylamide gel for each sample. We used western
blot to measure the total levels of AKT and the fraction of Akt that is phosphorylated on the serine
residue at position 473 (p-AktS473) using a phosphorylation specific antibody. GAPDH was used a
loading control.

- After a cell "clears" the G₁ restriction checkpoint, it can proceed into S phase. This S phase entry is achieved by a cyclin dependent kinase (Cdk2) and its cyclin (Cyclin E), but additionally requires the action of a protein kinase (CDC2) as well as a phosphatase (CDC25) enzyme. Explain how these 4 proteins work together to orchestrate S phase entry.arrow_forwardI just read an abstract of the paper “Disulfide bond-disrupting agents activate the tumor necrosis family-related apoptosis-inducing ligand/death receptor 5 pathway” and noted that “DDAs and TRAIL synergize to kill cancer cells and are cytotoxic to HER2+ cancer cells with acquired resistance to the EGFR/HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor Lapatinib.” For the last sentence, I am not sure the meaning of the “acquired resistance to the EGFR/HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor Lapatinib”. Is the “acquired resistance ... to inhibitor” a good thing or bad thing, as far as the synergize effect of DDAs and TRAIL”?
