Cell Identity
• Determined by types and amounts of proteins in the cell
• Protein identities and amounts controlled by gene expression
• Differential gene expression leads to cell differentiation

Cell Division
Fundamental property of living things
Incredibly complicated processCell must ensure coordination of growth, genome duplication and cell division Must not enter duplication cycle unless
resources are plentiful Must not divide before genome is completely
duplicated

Cell Cycle
Division process takes about 24 hours in humans

Signals and Transduction Drives Cell Cycle

Cell Cycle can be Stopped
![Page 14: Cell Identity Determined by types and amounts of proteins in the cell Protein identities and amounts controlled by gene expression Differential gene expression](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d2e5503460f94a05000/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Example, Tumor Suppressor p53
DNA damage causesp53 to be activated.
p53 blocks cell cycle

How Does Cancer Happen?
Mutations that incorrectly activate any protein in the Ras pathway can cause loss of cell cycle regulation
EGF, ErbB, Ras, Raf, Mek, Erk, Elk, Srf, Fos
But what about p53?
![Page 16: Cell Identity Determined by types and amounts of proteins in the cell Protein identities and amounts controlled by gene expression Differential gene expression](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d2e5503460f94a05000/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
p53 is also Mutated
Over 50% of human tumors have p53 mutations

Multiple Events Required for Cancer
Alterations in the pathway of colon cancer are well known
