-Different activators present in different cells activate differentgenes…that’s how cells come tohave different functions!!!

Proteinfragments(peptides)

Multiple ubiquitin mol-ecules are attached to a proteinby enzymes in the cytosol.

1 The ubiquitin-tagged proteinis recognized by a proteasome,which unfolds the protein andsequesters it within a central cavity.

2 Enzymatic components of theproteasome cut the protein intosmall peptides, which can befurther degraded by otherenzymes in the cytosol.

(a) Cell cycle–stimulating pathway.This pathway is triggered by a growthfactor that binds to its receptor in theplasma membrane. The signal is relayed to a G protein called Ras. Like all G proteins, Rasis active when GTP is bound to it. Ras passesthe signal to a series of protein kinases.The last kinase activates a transcriptionactivator that turns on one or more genes for proteins that stimulate the cell cycle. If amutation makes Ras or any other pathway component abnormally active, excessive celldivision and cancer may result.

(b) Cell cycle–inhibiting pathway. In this

2pathway, DNA damage is an intracellularsignal that is passed via protein kinasesand leads to activation of p53. Activatedp53 promotes transcription of the gene for aprotein that inhibits the cell cycle. Theresulting suppression of cell division ensuresthat the damaged DNA is not replicated.Mutations causing deficiencies in anypathway component can contribute to thedevelopment of cancer.

(c) Effects of mutations. Increased cell division,possibly leading to cancer, can result if thecell cycle is overstimulated, as in (a), or notinhibited when it normally would be, as in (b).
