In example 1, a macrophage recognizes an old cell, a pathogenic cell, or a cell that has completed its task It releases TNF-a, which binds to the death receptor tumor necrosis factor receptor 1. in example 2, when a cytotoxic T cell detects that a cel is expressing foreign antigens, the T cell exoresses FAS ligand fn its membrane. FAS ligand binds to the death receptor called FAS receptor. In bothycases, the death domain binds ather proteins to form DISC and the caspase cascade leads to apoptosis: |) OSMOSISORG 183 ONCOGENES & TUMOR SUPPRESSOR GENES * Cade for proteins involved in progression of coll cycle * Positive regulation: oncogenes stimulate cell growth, division = Negative regulation: tunor suppressor genes stop cell cycle progression, promote apoptosis, Proto-oncogenes * Code for growth factors, growth factor receptors feg. receptor tyrosine kinase) + Signal transcuction oroteins (eg.

While this is happening, complement proteins are actvated by the presence of pathogens and help with opsonization {they bind to microbes so leukocytes can ‘more easly eat them). Some can also kil pathogens by forming a channel in their membranes, (OsMosis.org OSMOSIS.ORG 189
