Document Summary

Suppose the signaling pathway in figure 15. 3 were to lead to the activation of a gene that inhibits a cyclin-dependent kinase responsible for moving a cell into s phase of the cell cycle. Inactivation of phosphate 2 would lead to the permanent activation of kinase 3, which would lead to the continued unregulated activation of the transcription factor and likely the unregulated growth of the cell. Inactivation of protein kinase 3 might be expected to stop the cell from progression through the cell cycle because the transaction factor could not be activated: ca2+, ip3 , and camp have all been described as second messengers. Make specific distinctions regarding the three second messengers. Calcium is an ion where-as camp is a biomolecule (protein) and a derivative of atp (the bodies inherent energy source). These second messengers and their method of actions can be dependent on their origin. For example g-protein coupled receptors can either activate (gs-protein) or inhibit (gi-protein) adenylate cyclase.

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

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.

2 points

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

The EGF-receptor is a receptor tyrosine kinase that binds toepidermal growth factor (EGF). In response to EGF binding, theEGF-receptor stimulates a signaling pathway that involves Ras.Ultimately, this signaling pathway leads to the upregulation offactors that promote cell division. As a result, in response toEGF, cells that express the EGF-receptor undergo cell division toproduce more cells. If an inhibitor that inhibited all G proteinswas added to cells, how would this affect the ability of thesecells to respond to EGF?

1)The inhibitor would have no effect, because the EGF-receptoris not a G protein-coupled receptor.

2)While the receptor would dimerize and autophosphorylate in thepresence of the inhibitor, downstream signaling would be preventedbecause the inhibitor would affect Ras activity.

3)In the presence of the inhibitor, the receptor could bind toEGF and dimerize, but it would not be able to autophosphorylatebecause this requires the activity of a G protein.
