PROTEIN STRUCTURE DISRUPTED DENATURED PROTEIN

• The sequential events of the cell cycle are directed by a distinct cell cycle control system, which is similar to a clock

• The cell cycle control system is regulated by both internal and external controls

• The clock has specific checkpoints where the cell cycle stops until a go-ahead signal is received

Stop and Go Signs: Internal and External Signals at the Checkpoints

• Three important checkpoints are those in G1, G2, and M phases

• It is critical that checkpoint proteins function properly. (they need the correct structure!)

• Broken Stop sign TUMOR• Mutated Stop sign TUMOR• There are DNA REPAIR ENZYMES to fix

mutated genes prevent malformed proteins. (link), (and this time, to music…)

• BRCA1 and BRCA2 = tumor suppressor genes• Code for DNA repair enzymes• They fix mutations prevent the

production of misshaped proteins.

• What happens if BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutated?• Some mutations may go un-repaired.

• Increased RISK of a tumor:
