Activation of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) stimulate protein-protein interactions. True or False
What is NOT a second messenger? phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate cyclic guanosine monophosphate diacylglycerol inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate cyclic adenosine monophosphate
A study is conducted to assess the molecular mechanisms of hormone X. A radioactively labeled form of this hormone is incubated with human cells in tissue culture for 30 minutes, and then incubated briefly with a cross-linking agent. The plasma membrane, cytosolic, and nuclear fractions are isolated from the cell lysate, and the subcellular proteins are separated from these fractions by gel electrophoresis. The only protein bound to the labeled hormone is identified in the new clear fraction. Hormone X is most likely which of the following? Epinephrine Glucagon Growth hormone Insulin Thyroxine
With the aid of diagrams describe the signalling pathway involving inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate from ligand binding to intracellular effects (65%). In your answer explain how it is synthesised from the membrane phospholipid and, excluding receptor agonists, provide two examples of drugs that modulate activity in the pathway (35%).
Ligand binding to proteins may occur with varying strengths; some ligands bind tightly to proteins while others bind less tightly. The strengths of reversible binding are determined experimentally by varying concentrations of ligands, and measuring the saturation of the protein in the various ligand concentrations. One such laboratory study investigated the binding of a hormone to three different receptor proteins in the cell membrane. The data collected are shown in the table below: 1) Provide a brief explanation as to why ligand binding to proteins must be a reversible process. 2) Calculate the dissociation constant (Kd) for the hormone binding to each of the three proteins.

Some strains of bacteria or microorganisms have developed toxins that can modify the activity of the alpha subunit of G proteins which results in disease. For ex. cholera toxin, produced by Vibrio cholerae, causes ADP ribosylation of the stimulatory Gαs subunit of G proteins. This modification abolishes the GTPase of Gαs, and results in an αs subunit that is always in the “on” or active state. It results in continuous stimulation of adenylyl cyclase (AC). The main cells affected by this are the epithelial cell in gastrointestinal tract. Knowing this altered activity of AC, explain why patients affected by this toxin experience severe diarrhea and dehydration that may result in death.
Researchers have found that if either of these two cysteines in the opioid receptor are mutated to a different amino acid, the receptor can no longer bind the opioid ligand. What function do the cysteines serve in the structure of an opioid receptor? (think protein structure level)
