Protein Kinases (Raf, Akt)
Lipid Kinases (PI3-Kinase)
Transcription Factors (Myc)
Binding and inactivating apoptotic proteins (BCL2)
Protein Kinase regulatory subunits (Cyclins A, E, D)
Transcriptional coactivators (B-Catenin, YAP, TAZ)

Cancer cells addicted to oncogenes - ANS-If Ras is inactivated in Myc transformed cancers they
die
If a single oncogene is driving a given cancer then inhibiting the function of that oncogene will
cure the cancer
Treatment of breast cancer patients whose tumors harbor the HER2 oncogene is an effective
way of treating these cancers

Carbamazepine - ANS-sodium channel blocker
simple partial, grand mal anti-seizure profile

Cell membrane - ANS-functions as a capacitor, the cell's electrical potential is the charge on the
capacitor

Converted to colored, insoluble form in viable cells

cell-attached recording - ANS-mild suction & tight contact between pipette and membrane

allows experimental control of the membrane potential to characterize the voltage dependance
of membrane currents
