Document Summary

A water soluble hormone that binds to its receptor at the outer surface of the plasma membrane. Elaborate enzyme cascades, in each step the cascade the number of activated products is much greater. Activated kinase activates a different kinase and so on, at each step more and more enzymes are recruited. In the plasma membrane, e. g. , an internal membrane protein or an intracellular receptor, e. g. , steroid hormone receptors. Epinephrine (adrenaline) activates a gpcr in liver cells (e. g. , fig. Calcium activates a phosphorylation cascade in skeletal muscle (after the. Protein kinase a step in fig 11. 16, activating the enzyme phosphorylase kinase) The enzyme is modulated (positively or negatively) by different g proteins; intracellular camp levels go up or down depending on the summation of all the positive and negative signals on that cell. Phosphorylation reactions: covalent transfer of phosphate group from atp to specific amino acids of target cells, acts as an or off switch for the target protein.

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.

		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
