Cancer - Evading growth suppressors

3 important questions on Cancer - Evading growth suppressors

Which 3 mutations promote unregulated G1/S-phase passage?

1. Amplification of cylcin D
2. Loss of function mutation of p16
3.  Loss of function mutation of Rb

What is the effect of cyclinD amplification?

P16 cannot inhibit CycD

What is the effect of a loss of function mutation of p16?

Mimics overproduction of CycD1 leading to Rb hyperphosphorylation and E2F release
