TLRs activate NFkB, AP-1, and IRF transcription factors to induce the expression of inflammatory cytokines and type I interferons. A key feature of TLR signaling is the ability to induce inflammatory cytokine gene expression extremely rapidly following TLR stimulation. This is accomplished by signaling pathways using several mechanisms to activate transcription factors that are already present in the cell prior to TLR stimulation, but are kept in an inactive state. These signaling pathways use all of the following mechanisms EXCEPT: Induced ubiquitination leading to protein degradation Induced ubiquitination inducing protein–protein interactions Induced phosphorylation leading to nuclear translocation Induced phosphorylation leading to kinase activation Induced phosphorylation preventing protein degradation

Explain why you chose, or did not choose, each answer. a) Transport of R-SMAD from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. b) Ligand binding to the EGF receptor c) CREB binding to the cAMP response element (CRE) d) Ligand binding to the TGF βreceptor
Explain three ways in which gradual increase in an extracellular signal can be sharpened by the target cell to produce an abrupt or nearly all-or-none response.

EGF signals by binding to cell surface EGF receptors. Which of these observations, if true, would BEST explain EGF’s mechanism of action? A. EGF is hydrophilic and can easily diffuse through the cell membrane B. EGF is hydrophobic and can easily diffuse through the cell membrane C. EGF is hydrophilic and cannot diffuse through the cell membrane D. EGF is hydrophobic and cannot diffuse through the cell membrane
It is important for the cell to be able to terminate responses, and diminish responsiveness to prevent overstimulation. Cells have different mechanisms for this. One such mechanism is receptor down regulation. a.) Down regulation describes a decrease in the availability of hormones or neurotransmitters that bind to receptors on the surface of target cells, making the cells less likely to be stimulated. b.) Down regulation describes glycosylation of receptor proteins receptors on the surface of target cells in order to decrease the selectivity of ligand binding, making the cells less sensitive to a hormone or neurotransmitter. c.) Down regulation describes a decrease in the number of receptors on the surface of target cells, making the cells less sensitive to a hormone or neurotransmitter.
Once an activated signaling pathway has elicited the proper changes in target gene expression, the pathway must be inactivated. Otherwise, pathological consequences may result, as exemplified by persistent growth factor initiated signaling in many cancers. Many signaling pathways possess intrinsic negative feedback by which a downstream event in a pathway turns off an upstream event. Describe the negative feedback that down-regulates signals induced by (a) erythropoietin and (b) TGF-β.
Binding of TGF-β to its receptors can elicit a variety of responses in different cell types. For example, TGF-β induces plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 in epithelial cells and specific immunoglobulins in B cells. In both cell types, Smad3 is activated. Given the conservation of the signaling pathway, what accounts for the diversity of the response to TGF-β in various cell types?
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) signals through a receptor, tyrosine kinase. EGF signaling promotes cell division by increasing nuclear concentrations of CyclinD through both the MEK and AKT signaling pathways as shown in the diagram. Use the EGF Pathway passage to answer the questions. EGF signals by binding to cell surface EGF receptors. Which of these observations, if true, would BEST explain EGF’s mechanism of action? A. EGF is hydrophilic and can easily diffuse through the cell membrane. B. EGF is hydrophobic and can easily diffuse through the cell membrane. C. EGF is hydrophilic and cannot diffuse through the cell membrane. D. EGF is hydrophobic and cannot diffuse through the cell membrane. Which of these BEST describes how the signal is transduced from the EGF receptor to the Ras protein? A. Ras is phosphorylated. B. Ras is dephosphorylated. C. Ras binds to a GTP molecule. D.
