Histamine binds to the H1 G-protein-linked receptor to initiate the itchiness and airway constriction associated with an allergic response. If a mutation in the associated G-protein’s alpha subunit prevented the hydrolysis of GTP how would the allergic response change? More severe allergic response compared to normal G-protein signaling. Less severe allergic response compared to normal G-protein signaling. No allergic response. No change compared to normal G-protein signaling.
During signal transduction (a) the cell converts an extracellular signal into an intracellular signal that leads to a change in some cell process (b) a signaling molecule directly activates or represses several genes (c) each enzyme catalyzes production of one molecule of product (d) enzymes in the signal cascade remain active until the last component of the pathway alters a cellular process (e) the signal is terminated by cyclic AMP
Which of the following is not correct about a second messenger system? A. The activating hormone interacts with a receptor site on the plasma membrane. B. The activating hormone activates an enzyme, most often adenylate cyclase C. Activated adenylate cyclase catalyzes the transformation of AMP to cyclic AMP D. Cyclic AMP causes the activation of protein kinase E. None of these are correct.
Put the steps of the process of G-protein signal transduction in the order (1-4) in which they occur. Second messenger molecules are activated and amplify the signal A signal molecule binds to a receptor on the outside of the cell The alpha (a) subunit of the G-protein inside the cell moves and binds to a nearby enzyme The receptor changes shape, transducing the signal into the cell
Endothelins are 21-amino acid vasoconstricting peptides produced primarily in the endothelium. They have an important role in vascular homeostasis. Endothelin activates G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) ETA or ETB on a target cell. Which subunit of heterotrimeric G protein is released when the receptor is activated? a.) gamme b.) beta c.) alpha
One molecule of the hormone epinephrine, acting via a G-protein ‹ Adenyl cyclase ‹ cAMP-dependent protein kinase system, is able to cause the release of 108 molecules of glucose from the liver. This is an example of the second-messenger system acting as an ______________
Distinguish the pathways associated with the activation of protein kinase A, protein kinase Cand Cam kinase II. Provide for each pathway: enzyme that produces second messenger, identity of second messenger(s) and kinase activated by that second messenger.
Epinephrine causes a liver cell to produce glucose from glycogen in a flight-or-fight response. In the signaling pathway triggered by the specific receptor binding, explain the mechanism for activation of Protein kinase A (PKA). indicate what mechanism/s for enzyme regulation is/are involved in the process (focus on the activation of PKA in response to epinephrine and draw what happens to the enzyme ie how it becomes activated).
In the cAMP second messenger pathways, Protein kinase A is directly activated by _________. A) Group of answer choices B) cAMP C) Phosphorylation D) a G protein E) a G protein coupled receptor F) an enzyme
Someone goes for a jog first thing in the morning and encounters a squadron of javelinas, causing a release of epinephrine. Some of this circulating epinephrine binds to a G-alpha-s coupled receptor (GPCR) on the surface of muscle cells. Which of the following would occur in the muscle cell as a result of this activation? Nitric oxide synthesis would increase. cyclic AMP (cAMP) activity would increase. Phospholipase C (PLC) would hydrolyze (cut) the molecule PIP2. The levels of adenylate cyclase activity would decrease. The levels of adenylate cyclase activity would decrease. Which ligand is CORRECTLY matched with its characteristic? Group of answer choices Glucagon: stimulates the activation of the mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway Nitric oxide (NO): must bind to its target protien withn a few seconds because NO degrades rapidly Steroid hormone: produces a response in its target cells within seconds Acetylcholine: hydrophobic molecule that binds to…
What do steroid hormone signaling and receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling have in common? Their pathways involve G-proteins that are activated by GDP-GTP exchange. They both result in gene transcription. They both use the second messenger cAMP. The receptors are both enzymes.
Except for?, all of the following signals may trigger receptor conformational changes without reaching the plasma membrane. o a. Receptors for steroid hormones. Tyrosine kinase receptors are a kind of receptor that binds to tyrosine phosphatase. Voltage-gated ion channels (OC). G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).
