Can I get help on how to do this question? Two mutations have occurred to proteins within the glucagon signaling pathway: A) The glucagon receptor has a mutation. This mutation causes this GPCR to always have a conformation that will induce nucleotide exchange for any associated heterotrimeric G proteins, even without glucagon binding to the receptor. B) The alpha subunit of the heterotrimeric G protein has a mutation. This mutation causes the Gα arginine finger to always be in a position to properly order the catalytic residues within the Gα subunit to promote catalysis. Question: What will the effect of the Gα mutation be on Gα's function and what is the mechanistic reason for this effect?

I am stuck on a question about cell growth signaling and RTKs. If phosphatase is nonfunctional, could it lead to uncontrollable growth resulting in cancer?
Please answer true or false and give a short explanation. Thank you 1. α-ketoglutaric acid participates in the processes of transdeamination and transreamination of amino acids. 2. The coferent of aminotransferases is FAD. 3. Is phenylalanine a precursor to serotonin?

TAS2R38 codes for a G-protein coupled receptor which contributes to the tasting of PTC. What does this tell you about PTC as a type of ligand? a It is a protein-based ligand that can cross the CM into the cell b It is a lipid based ligand that can cross the CM into the cell c It is a protein-based ligand that requires a second messenger d It is a lipid-based ligand that requires a second messenger
Can you please describe the role of G proteins in ligand-activated cellular signal transduction.
Steroid hormones are required by the body at puberty and into adolescence to regulate growth and cell division at more rapid pace than in later life. This regulation occurs via their interaction with cellular receptors and the signaling cascades/pathways that follow. Describe for me the difference between the two major classes of steroids, anabolic and catabolic steroids. What might you expect the result of signaling cascades to be in cells receiving either anabolic or catabolic “signals”? (B) At some point in late adolescence, steroid production decreases by almost 100 fold, as we transition into “adulthood”. Why might we wish to stop these signals from constantly being in our blood stream, (like, Say, between 17-24 years of age)? What result might these steroids have on cancer cells where abhorrent signaling is already causing an increased rate of cell division/growth? Could steroid use result in Cancer?
Why do we need to identify and determine the function of every single molecule involved in cell signalling? provide citations of trusted papers/sites. (no less than 250 words)
