Document Summary

Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (cam kinase) - enzyme that phosphorylates target proteins in response to an increase in ca2+ ion concentration through its interaction with the. Usually a protein, polypeptide, or glycoprotein. diacylglycerol (dag) - small messenger molecule produced by the cleavage of membrane inositol phospholipids in response to extracellular signals. G protein - a membrane-bound gtp-binding protein involved in intracellular signaling; composed of three subunits, this intermediary is usually activated by the binding of a hormone or other ligand to a transmembrane receptor. G-protein-coupled receptor (gpcr) - cell-surface receptor that associates with an intracellular trimeric gtp-binding protein (g protein) after activation by an extracellular ligand. These receptors are embedded in the membrane by seven transmembrane helices. Gtp-binding protein - intracellular signaling protein whose activity is determined by its association with either gtp or gdp. Signaling molecule that is the final kinase in a three-kinase sequence called the map-kinase signaling module.

2 points

QUESTION 4

Which of these is a logical signal-transduction pathway?

	a.	An intracellular receptor activates phospholipase C, which cleaves a membrane protein to form IP₃, which then activates the opening of an ER channel protein, which releases cyclic AMP into the cytoplasm, where it binds to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.
	b.	A G-protein-linked receptor activates G protein, which activates phospholipase C, which cleaves a membrane lipid to form IP₃, which binds to a calcium channel on the ER, which opens to release calcium ions into the cytoplasm, which bind to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.
	c.	An ion-channel receptor opens, allowing a steroid hormone to enter the cell; the steroid hormone then activates protein kinases that convert GTP to GDP, which binds to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.
	d.	A tyrosine-kinase receptor activates adenylyl cyclase, which activates phospholipase C, which converts ATP into cyclic AMP, which binds to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response.

QUESTION 6

Consider a signal transduction pathway that utilizes cAMP as a second messenger to activate PKA (Protein Kinase A). Which of the following situations will result in the cellular response?

		The G protein releases GDP and binds to GTP
		The target protein (adenylyl cyclase) is inactive
		The regulatory subunits of PKA (Protein Kinase A) are bound to the catalytic subunits
		The appropriate G protein is bound to GDP

QUESTION 9

If an animal cell suddenly lost the ability to produce GTP, what might happen to its signaling system?

		It would use ATP instead of GTP to activate and inactivate the G protein on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane.
		It would not be able to activate and inactivate the G protein on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane.
		It would employ a transduction pathway directly from an external messenger.
		It would be able to carry out reception and transduction but would not be able to respond to a signal.

QUESTION 10

A hormone signal is sent from the brain to other parts of the body via the bloodstream. Why do only certain cells respond to this signal?

		Hormones do not last long enough in the bloodstream to stimulate a cellular response
		Only cells that have a specific transcription factor gene will be able to respond to the signal
		Only cells in the immediate vicinity of the cell sending the signal will respond
		Only cells that have a receptor for the specific signal will be able to respond to it
