Question

You stimulated the cell with a ligand and analyzed the response. Upon ligand treatment, the cell increased the expression of gene α and decreased expression of gene β. When you inhibit cyclic AMP production by treating the cell with an inhibitor of Adenylyl cyclase, the increased expression of gene α was not observed but the decrease gene β expression was still observed. a) What you can expect for gene α regulation by this ligand? What signaling mechanism could be used? b) To determine how gene β is regulated by the ligand via what signaling mechanism, provide your hypothesis and indicate a potential experiment that you can perform to test that.

Two protein kinases, barley kinase and hops kinase, function sequentially in an intracellular signaling pathway. If either kinase contains a mutation that permanently inactivates it, no response is seen in cells when an extracellular signal is received. A mutation that permanently activates barley results in a response even when there is no extracellular signal. You characterize a double mutant in which hops has the inactivating mutation and barley has the activating mutation. You observe that a response is seen in the double mutants even in the absence of an extracellular signal. In the normal signaling pathway, does barley phosphorylate hops or does hops phosphorylate barley? Briefly explain your answer.
