A particular protein can bind to receptor tyrosine kinase molecules inhibiting their dimerization (stops them from being able to form dimers). Explain what effect you think this protein could have on the signal transduction pathways that use tyrosine kinase as a receptor if it were to be present in a cell.

Figure 9.8 HER2 is a receptor tyrosine kinase. In 30 percent of human breast cancers, HER2 is permanently activated, resulting in unregulated cell division. Lapatinib, a drug used to treat breast cancer, inhibits HER2 receptor tyrosine kinase autophosphorylation (the process by which the receptor adds phosphates onto itself), thus reducing tumor growth by 50 percent. Besides autophosphorylation, which of the following steps would be inhibited by Lapatinib? Signaling molecule binding, dimerization, and the downstream cellular response. Dimerization, and the downstream cellular response. The downstream cellular response. Phosphatase activity, dimerization, and the downsteam cellular response.
Receptor tyrosine kinase’s catalyze the phosphorylation of target proteins which means they are classified as an _______________________ receptor
Which of the following would inhibit the activity of TGF-Beta receptor? multiple answers A. Deletion of Extracellular domain B. Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor C. Mutation that prevents homodimerization of Type II Receptor D. Mutation of phosphorylation site on Type I receptor E. Inhibition Type II receptor binding to Type I receptor
Imagine a disease that involves reduced expression of receptor X. There is no concentration of full agonist that can restore receptor X signaling back to normal levels. Explain how an allosteric modulator may be used to help in this situation.
Explain how a tyrosine kinase (YK) receptor becomes phosphorylated and activated upon ligand binding.
A ligand binds to the extracellular portion of a receptor. Another ligand binds to an identical half of the same receptor. When this happens, the two halves come together and the intracellular portion adds phosphates from ATP to tyrosine amino acids it the receptor structure. This passage describes what kind of receptor? Select one: a. A G-protein coupled receptor b. A receptor tyrosine kinase c. A receptor tyrosine phosphatase d. A ligand-gated kinase channel
What is allosteric regulation? Describe HOW allosteric regulation acts like an “on/off” switch for signal pathway receptors and WHY it is important to be able to turn a receptor off.
What is the function of Ras during tyrosine kinase cell signaling? a. It activates the opening of channel-linked receptors. b. It is an enzyme that synthesizes second messengers. c. It links the receptor protein to the MAP kinase pathway. d. It phosphorylates other enzymes as part of a pathway.
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (CAMP) is a molecule that can act as anallosteric activator of kinase enzymes inside of the cytoplasm. Describehow CAMP molecules affect kinase enzymes?
Activation of certain GPCRs triggers an intracellular signaling mechanism that involves activation of adenlyl cyclase and an increase of cAMP. Which of the following statements best describes the the events that follow such a cAMP increase? a.) The cAMP increase leads to activation of protein kinase C. b.) The cAMP increase leads to activation of the release of the gamma subunit from the GPCR. c.) The cAMP increase leads to activation of protein kinase A.
. Protein kinase A is activated by: phosphorylation of its catalytic subunit phosphorylation of its regulatory subunits binding of cAMP to its catalytic subunits binding of cAMP to its regulatory subunits
Binding EGF to the EGF receptor causes phosphorylation of tyrosines on the cytoplasmic tail of the receptor. Which of the following best describes the mechanism by which this phosphorylation activates downstream signaling complexes? Select one A. Causes degradation of receptor by proteasome pathway B. Causes EGF receptor to be internalized so it can interact directly with downstream signaling molecules C. Tyrosine phosphorylation alters 3D structure of downstream signaling proteins causing them to change from an inactive to active conformation D. Causes release of EGF from receptor E. Alters the localization of downstream signaling partners in the cytoplasm
