Document Summary

Lectures: cell surface receptors: signal transduction, a. Receptors embedded in plasma membrane accept a signal molecule. Signal transduction systems getting a message from call surface receptor: b. Enzyme activation, turns on/off gene transcription: signal transduction pathways, second messenger pathways/systems. Intracellular signaling pathways: all mean the same ^^^ Reception: binding of signal, 1st messenger, 2. Second messenger: small molecules, diffuse faster within cell, can be made quickly, non proteins (increase concentration rapidly, 3. It binds with only gtp: effector molecule: interacts with an activated g protein. Irreversible inhibition: inhibiting molecule covalently binds to enzyme but not a. s. causing conformational change. Poisons): allosteric control: non-competitive site binding to allosteric site, covalent modification: regulation phosphorylation, pi added to the molecule, factors affecting enzyme activity, ph. Optimal specific ph for each enzyme: temp higher temperatures call for higher activation energy, normal protein increased temp/ph/salinity denatured protein. Capacity to do work: kinetic: energy of motion, potential: energy stored (ex.

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.

		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.

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
