DRAW IT Draw the following apoptotic pathway, whichoperates in human immune cells. A death signal isreceived when a molecule called Fas binds its cell-surfacereceptor. The binding of many Fas molecules to receptorscauses receptor clustering. The intracellular regions of thereceptors, when together, bind proteins called adaptorproteins. These in turn bind to inactive molecules ofcaspase-8, which become activated and then activatecaspase-3. Once activated, caspase-3 initiates apoptosis.

SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY A major cause of septic shock is thepresence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from bacteria in the blood.Suppose you have available purified LPS and several strains ofmice, each with a mutation that inactivates a particular TLRgene. How might you use these mice to test the feasibility oftreating septic shock with a drug that blocks TLR signaling?
The white blood cells known as T lymphocytes respond to antigens thatbind specifi cally to the T cell receptor, which consists of an antigen-binding αβ transmembrane protein as well as a set of transmembrane signaltransducing proteins known as CD3 that are targets of NRTKs. Thecytoplasmic domains of the CD3 proteins are positively charged and, in the absence of antigen, interact with the intracellular surface of the plasma membrane in such a way that buries several of their Tyr residues in the lipidbilayer. Antigen binding to the T cell receptor leads to a localized infl ux ofCa2+ ions. (a) Explain how a high concentration of Ca2+ could promote phosphorylation and activation of the CD3 proteins. (b) Would this henomenon make the T lymphocyte more or less responsive to the antigen?

Part A (Short Response): You are developing a TGF-β agonist, but you don’t yet know which specific proteins it is signaling through. You want to do a single Western blot to measure changes in signaling activity, regardless of which pathway is being activated. For which protein involved in these pathways could you measure the levels in the nucleus of cells and be confident in your results? Why? This part was already posted on chegg, but I didn't understand the answer. I need a thorough explanation, so I can fully understand. Part B (Short Response): There have been many attempts to block TGF-β signaling in cancer through many different mechanisms, but none of been very successful. Why do you think this is? I know they have gotten close to being successful, but I don't know what preventing their success.

Inhibitory receptors on lymphocytes down-regulate immune responses by recruiting protein or lipid phosphatases.BCR signaling on B cells is initiated by antigen binding, leading to mTOR activation. This occurs, for instance, when the antigen is a live microbe that binds to the BCR on the B cells. Which one of the forms of antigen shown below the graph would correctly account for the data shown in the figure?
The Gram-negative bacterium Yersinia pestis, thecausative agent of the plague, is extremely virulent. Uponinfection, Y. pestis injects a set of effector proteins intomacrophages that suppresses their phagocytic behaviorand also interferes with their innate immune responses.One of the effector proteins, YopJ, acetylates serines andthreonines on various MAP kinases, including the MAPkinase kinase kinase TAK1, which controls a key signalingstep in the innate immune response pathway. To deter-mine how YopJ interferes with TAK1, you transfect humancells with active YopJ (YopJWT) or inactive YopJ (YopJCA)and with FLAG-tagged active TAK1 (TAK1WT) or inactiveTAK1 (TAK1K63W), and assay for total TAK1 and for phos-phorylated TAK1, using antibodies against the FLAG tag oragainst phosphorylated TAK1 (Figure Q23–1). How doesYopJ block the TAK1 signaling pathway? How do you sup-pose the serine/threonine acetylase activity of YopJ mightinterfere with TAK1 activation?
In a specific type of tumor, cytotoxic T cells can recognize but not kill the tumor cell. Interaction of PD-L1 in tumor cells with PD1 in cytotoxic T cells plays a role in shaping the immune response by initiating signal transduction cascades in both cell types. What will happen if the signal transduction cascade in cytotoxic T cells is blocked? T cells will be activated and kill tumor cells T cells can recognize the cancer cells but will not be activated Tumor cell will undergo programmed cell death

When a naïve or memory T orB cell is activated by antigen andco-stimulatory signals, how does itdecide whether to become an effectorcell or memory cell? Are there cellsthat are pre-committed to becomingeither effector or memory cells, forexample, or is the decision determinedsolely by extracellular signals?
Immune systems of animals are very complex. For an animal's immune system to work properly, certain cells must be able to recognize other specific types of cells, so that they can bind to and communicate with them. These types of interactions allow an immune system to decide if and when to launch an immune response. For example, dendritic cells must be able to recognize and interact with T-cells, but they do not need to recognize adipocyte cells. Which of the following describes a difference between T-cells and adipocyte cells that would allow dendritic cells to recognize one, but not the other? A. Adipocyte cells must have a cell wall, while T-cells lack one. B. T-cells and adipocyte cells must have different types of lipids that compose their plasma membranes. C. Adipocyte cells must lack endoplasmic reticulum, while T-cells possess endoplasmic reticulum. D. T-cells and adipocyte cells must have some differences in the carbohydrates and/or…
