Why are steroids able to diffuse across the plasma membrane? Their transport protein moves them through the membrane They are amphipathic, allowing them to interact with the entire phospholipid Cells express channels that let hormones flow down their concentration gradient into the cells They are non-polar molecules.
Calcium ions (a) can act as second messengers (b) split calmodulin (c) are kept at higher concentration in the cytosol than in the extracellular fluid (d) are produced in the ER by protein kinases and protein phosphatases (e) typically terminate signaling cascades
Histamine binds to the H1 G-protein-linked receptor to initiate the itchiness and airway constriction associated with an allergic response. If a mutation in the associated G-protein’s alpha subunit prevented the hydrolysis of GTP how would the allergic response change? More severe allergic response compared to normal G-protein signaling. Less severe allergic response compared to normal G-protein signaling. No allergic response. No change compared to normal G-protein signaling.
Endocrine signals are transmitted more slowly than paracrine signals because.___ the ligands are transported through the bloodstream and travel greater distances the target and signaling cells are close together the ligands are degraded rapidly the ligands don't bind to carrier proteins during transport
4.A 65-year old man complains of an increasing resting tremor of hands, stiffness in muscles, a change in his gait. His wife noted anxiety and emotional lability. What diagnosis can be made?a)Concentration of what catecholamine in the neostriatum can lead to such symptoms? Name the desease.b) Write by formulasthe reactions ofsynthesis of this catecholamine and its degradation。 c)What drug therapy is used for treatment of this desease?
Below are two cell signalling pathways that work together to regulate cell growth, proliferation and ultimately the size of organs in O.Extremus. In other closely related organisms, dysfunction of these pathways has been associated with tumor growth. mTOR pathway: 1. Growth factors bind and stimulate the receptors. 2. Receptors can activate the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) – Akt signaling pathway. 3. The activated Akt, a serine threonine kinase, inhibits theTSC1–TSC2 complex, allowing Rheb to activate mTORC1. 4. In parallel, amino acids activate the mTORC1 pathway through a mechanism requiring the Rag– Ragulator complex. Hippo pathway: 1. The binding of the ligand activates the receptors which activate Mst and Lats. 2. YAP activity is modulated by phosphorylation of Mst and Lats. YAP upregulates miR-29, which in turn downregulates PTEN, an inhibitor of PI(3)K and Akt. So, the two pathways crosstalk and coordinate cell number and growth. a) What purpose does this forward…
1. Which of the following signaling events is NOT engaged downstream of phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma activation? a. Calcium ion (Ca2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) b. Heterodimerization of the subunits c-Fos and c-Jun to form the transcription factor AP-1 c. IkappaB degradation and resulting translocation of NFkappaB into the nucleus d. Recruitment of protein kinase C (PKC)-theta to the plasma membrane e. PIP3 generation at the plasma membrane which recruits and activates Akt, leading to cytoskeletal remodeling

6. An individual contracts an infection and this results in the production of soluble proteins that act as signalling molecules between cells. Outline and differentiate the various biological activities of these molecules.
1. What cellular event happens in response to the binding of a growth factor to its respective receptor on the membrane of the growth factor’s target cell?
