Thyroid hormone receptor (TR) regulates growth, development, and differentiation of mammals. TR contains both a domain that binds to T3, the thyroid hormone, and a separate domain that binds to DNA. Which of the following BEST explains how TR signals? A. T3 binds to TR at the cell membrane, which then releases second messengers to regulate gene expression. B. T3 binds to DNA at the cell membrane, which then releases second messengers to regulate gene expression. C. T3 diffuses through the cell membrane to bind to TR, which then binds to DNA to regulate gene expression. D. T3 diffuses through the cell membrane to bind to DNA, which then binds to TR to regulate gene expression.

The lipid-soluble thyroxine hormone binds a nuclear receptor that is also a transcription factor. Binding of the thyroxine hormone will therefore result in A change in the activity of different proteins in the cytoplasm A change in the expression of specific genes An activation of a second messenger pathway
Where do DAG and IP3 originate? a. They are formed by phosphorylation of cAMP. b. They are ligands expressed by signaling cells. c. They are hormones that diffuse through the plasma membrane to stimulate protein production. d. They are the cleavage products of the inositol phospholipid, PIP2.
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.
The body produces a normal amount of testosterone. However, a particular cell you are studying has an unusually low number of testosterone receptors. How might the cell's response to testosterone be affected by its low number of testosterone receptors? A. The cell will activate more protein kinases in response to testosterone exposure than a cell with a normal number of testosterone receptors. B. The cell will make less mRNA in response to testosterone exposure. C. The cell will make less cAMP in response to testosterone exposure. D. The cell’s response to testosterone exposure will be identical to the response of a cell with a normal number of testosterone receptors.
