Which of the following statements is FALSE? The Delta protein itself is a transcription regulator; it controls the development of neural cells in Drosophila. Not all receptors trigger complex signaling cascades that use multiple components to carry a message to the nucleus; some take a more direct route to control gene expression. Some receptors activate a fast track to the nucleus; one such receptor is the protein Notch, which is activated by the binding of the transmembrane signal protein Delta. In plants, the ethylene signaling pathway turns on genes by relieving inhibition.

- The oscillatory clock that drives somite forma-tion in vertebrates involves three essential componentsHer7 (an unstable repressor of its own synthesis), Delta (atransmembrane signaling molecule), and Notch (a trans-membrane receptor for Delta). Notch is bound by Delta onneighboring cells, activating the Notch signaling pathway,which then activates Her7 transcription. Normally, thissystem works flawlessly to create sharply defined somites(Figure Q21–2A). In the absence of Delta, however, onlythe first five somites form normally, and the rest are poorlydefined (Figure Q21–2B). If a pulse of Delta is suppliedlater, somite formation returns to normal in the regionswhere Delta was present (Figure Q21–2C). A diagram ofthe connections between the components of the clockand how they interact in adjacent cells is shown in FigureQ21–2D. In the absence of Delta, why do the cells becomeunsynchronized? What is it about the presence of Deltathat keeps adjacent cells oscillating in synchrony?Which of the following signaling pathways use conventional molecular activation cascades (signaling cascades) to induce changes in gene transcription? These pathways involve sequential activation of multiple molecules in the cytosol before a final effector protein can translocate to the nucleus. Choose all that apply. O Cytokine receptors signaling pathway O TGF-B signaling pathway RTK signaling pathway O Notch/Delta signaling pathway Wnt signaling pathwayThe G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) pathway elicits diverse intracellular responses in different cells. The basic steps of GPCR signaling are outlined in this diagram. Which of the following statements correctly describes the process of GPCR signaling? The GPCR activation is reversible after the signal of the ligand diminishes. The membrane-embedded enzyme uses GTP as a secondary messenger to initiate gene expression. The ligand attaches to both the GPCR and the membrane-embedded enzyme to activate the GPCR pathway. The ligand-bound GPCR sends a GTP molecule to an enzyme in the membrane and switches it into an active state.
- If some cell-surface receptors, including Notch, can rapidly signal to the nucleus by activating latent transcription regulators at the plasma membrane, why do most cell- surface receptors use long, indirect signaling cascades to influence gene transcription in the nucleus?GTP is an important high-energy molecule that facilitates the activation of many cellular sig- nal transduction pathways. Certain genetic dysfunctions can inhibit the ability of a cell to synthesize GTP. Which of the following describes the most direct result of GTP synthesis inhibition? A B с D The cell would be able to carry out reception and transduction but would not be able to produce the cellular response in the relevant signal transduction pathway. The G protein-coupled receptor will not be able to bind corresponding ligands, inhibiting the reception components of the relevant signal transduction pathway. The cell will use ATP instead of GTP to activate the G protein on the intracellular region of the G protein-coupled receptor. The cell would not be able to activate G proteins on the intracellular regions of G pro- tein-coupled receptors.G protein coupled receptors play an important role in signal transduction in many cells. Label the four essential components of the G protein coupled receptor signaling system (blanks a-d in the picture) by choosing from the menus below. a b b Each answer will be used at most once, while some will not be used at all (select one for each): Group of answer choices transcription factor с transcription factor Show Transcribed Text d transcription factor B C. transcription factor G protein second messenger G protein second messenger IE G protein second messenger G protein second messenger receptor receptor receptor receptor enzyme enzyme enzyme enzyme steroid hormone steroid hormone steroid hormone steroid hormone

CYTOSOL active receptor tyrosine kinase Taratas THERI signal molecule 00 active signaling Q Search active Ras protein GTP 99+ Į SIGNALING Il app.honorlock.com is sharing your screen. ✡ active signaling protein Y aIn the case of GPCR (G protein coupled receptor) signaling pathways, which of the following statements is INCORRECT? The gamma subunit of the trimeric G protein has a transmembrane domain whereas the alpha and beta subunits are peripheral proteins If G alpha was locked in a GTP bound state, it would be bound to the effector enzyme rather than to the beta and gamma subunits. In some but not all signaling pathways, when the beta and gamma subunits are separated from alpha - the beta/gamma pair can also stimulate the activation of effectorsIn response to a hormone secreted by a cell of the opposite mating type, a yeast cell undergoes a complex series of physiological changes involving the activity of about 200 genes and cytoplasmic proteins. They include blockingDNA synthesis, growing toward the mating partner, fusion of the plasma membranes of the two cells, and fusion of their nuclear membranes. Explain how all these events can be controlled through a complex signaling cascade that is triggered by the binding of the hormone to a G protein–linkedreceptor.
- Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is a small, soluble molecule. P11 (a small protein) is required for transport of serotonin receptors to the cell surface. Assume for this problem that p11 affects transport of serotonin receptors only, and that it does not affect transport of any other proteins (a simplification). Depressed people seem to have low levels of p11; treatments that improve mood increase the expression of the p11 gene. NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.) seem to decrease expression of p11. SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) decrease re-uptake of serotonin at synapses. Some depressed patients are helped by SSRIs, but some are not. Explain both parts of B. B-1. The results indicate that depression can be caused by levels of serotonin receptors that are (higher than normal) (lower than normal) (neither – no evidence here for any effect on depression) (higher or lower but can't tell which). B-2. If a depressed person does not respond to SSRIs, the person…You are researching the regulation of cell-size control and discover that a signaling pathway that acts through a particular enzyme-coupled receptor is important for the size growth (enlargement) of rat kidney cells. Receptor activation causes activation of adenylyl cyclase, which ultimately leads to the activation of PKA. PKA then phosphorylates a transcription factor called BTS on threonine 84. This phosphorylation is required to allow BTS to bind to specific regulatory DNA sequences, increasing the transcription of Zrt2, a gene encoding a protein vital for kidney cell growth. You find that kidney cells without this receptor are 25% smaller than normal cells. When you measure cells expressing a constitutively active version of PKA, you find they are 25% bigger than normal kidney cells. Based on these results, predict whether a kidney cell’s size would be bigger or smaller than normal kidney cells in each of the following circumstances. Explain why in 1-2 sentences for each. You add…You are researching the regulation of cell-size control and discover that a signaling pathway that acts through a particular enzyme-coupled receptor is important for the size growth (enlargement) of rat kidney cells.
