Tumor-suppressor genes generally encode proteins that in one way or another inhibit cell proliferation. Loss-of-function mutations in one or more of these proliferation inhibitory proteins contribute to the development of many cancers. Prominent among the classes of proteins encoded by tumor-suppressor genes are:

A. Intracellular proteins that regulate or inhibit entry into the cell cycle

B. Receptors or signal transducers for secreted hormones or developmental signals that inhibit cell proliferation

C. Checkpoint pathway proteins that arrest the cell cycle if DNA is damaged

D. Proteins that promote apoptosis

Following genes belongs to the above class-

i. p53

ii. Rb

iii.TGF- β

iv. Caspase 3 and 7

Which of the following is incorrect 

a) antiparallel β sheets are frequently found and they are quite more stable because of more no. hydrogen bond presence and linear H bonding pattern.

b) antiparallel β sheets are frequently found and they are quite more stable because of more no. hydrogen bond presence and having distorted H bonding pattern.

c) parallel β sheets are relatively less stable and mostly found in core of protein.

d) parallel β sheets are relatively more stable and mostly found in core of protein.

Proline and glycine both disturb the symmetry of α-helix which of the following are true regarding to these two amino acids

a) proline changes the orientation of hetropolymeric α-helix hence proline can be placed only as 1st amino acid residue near to C-terminus 

b) proline changes the orientation of polymeric α-helix hence proline can be placed only as 1st amino acid residue near to N-terminus

c) glycine disrupts the heteropolymeric α-helix by changing the helicity.

d) homopolymer of proline and glycine can form stable helix.
