A) Activating mitogen-activated protein kinases, thereby pushing the cell through the G1 checkpoint.
B) Binding to death receptors, thereby triggering apoptosis.
C) Entering the nucleus, where it activates transcription by removing the retinoblastoma protein pRb from the transcription factor E2F.
D) Binding tightly to the Ras protein, thereby causing exit from the cell cycle.
