What occurs differently when the P53 gene is mutated?
Is this an oncogene or a tumor suppressor gene? How is that tied to its function? Why is this gene mutated in so many cancers?

How is a given protein, like P53, characterized as a tumor suppressor gene vs a proto-oncogene?...

How is a given protein, like P53, characterized as a tumor suppressor gene vs a proto-oncogene? Explain the difference between the two gene categories. With a protein in the ER, how does a secreted protein get to the plasma membrane via the golgi apparatus? Be sure to note the secretory pathway please help me on these two questions

6. The p53 tumor suppressor gene was isolated from a tumor where p53 protein levels were very high. This was likely due to dominant-acting mutant that inactivated all p53 tetramers and blocked the tumor suppressing effects of wild type p53. A) True B) False 7. Increased gene expression from the Ink4A locus leads to inhibition of cyclin E-CDK2. A) True B) False 8. In colon cancer progression, the first driver mutation is commonly a mutation to the KRas gene. A)...

“For one oncogene or tumor suppressor gene, show how mutations in this gene contribute to various stages of cancer progression. Explain whether the protein product of the gene you have chosen is a favorable candidate as a drug target for anti-cancer therapy.”

What is the function of CDK-4 is it a proto-oncogene, tumor suppressor gene, or something else.

Why are tumor suppressor gene mutations recessive while oncogene mutations are dominant?
