When a culture of rodent cells is infected with a DNA tumor virus whose gene products bind to p53 and RB, all the cells take on characteristics of malignancy. If the viral gene coding the p53-binding protein is mutated, but that coding for the RB-binding protein is not mutated, how will infected cells respond?

Match the following lipid linked proteins (column I) with their function (Column II).

Column I	Column II
A. prenylated proteins	i. These proteins are located in a number of subcellular compartments, including the cytosol, the endoplasmic reticulum, the inner face of the plasma membrane, and the nucleus.
B. fatty acylated proteins	ii. The core structure of these proteins consists of phosphatidylinositol glycosidically linked to a linear tetrasaccharide composed of three mannose residues and one glucosaminyl residue.
C. glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked proteins	iii. The proteins that have covalently attached lipids that are built from isoprene units
