Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 8TYU
DRAW IT Draw the following apoptotic pathway, which operates in human immune cells. A death signal is received when a molecule called Fas binds its cell-surface receptor. The binding of many Fas molecules to receptors causes receptor clustering. The intracellular regions of the receptors, when together, bind proteins called adaptor proteins. These in turn bind to inactive molecules of caspase-8, which become activated and then activate caspase-3. Once activated, caspase-3 initiates apoptosis.

An SH2-containing protein contains a mutation that changes its binding pocket such that tyrosine and phosphotyrosine bind with equal affinity. As a result, MEK activity:
does not change with receptor dimerization and transautophosphorylation
decreases due to changes in Raf activation
increases with ligand binding-induced dimerization
decreases due to allosteric inhibition of SH2-domain binding
Researchers have found that a certain signal transduction pathway, illustrated in the figure
below, may be responsible for the development of cancer in pancreatic cells. In normal
pancreatic cells, where the pathway remains inactive, a membrane-bound receptor called
Ptc inhibits a downstream protein known as Smo. The inhibition of Smo blocks the activa-
tion of a complex of proteins known as the HSC, which results in the cleaving of one of its
proteins called Ci. The cleaving of Ci, in turn, prevents the pathway from initiating the syn-
thesis of division-facilitating enzymes.

You have isolated a new species of infectious bacteria. The bacterium releases a toxin that you believe is adversely affecting heterotrimeric Gs (stimulatory)-protein-based signaling. To explore this hypothesis you use an epithelial cell line that is expressing a cyan fluorescent protein (CFP)-labeled α subunit and a yellow fluorescent protein (YFP)-labeled β subunit of a heterotrimeric Gs-protein. CFP emits blue light and has excitation and emission wavelengths of 440 nm and 490 nm, respectively. YFP emits yellow light and has excitation and emission wavelengths of 490 nm and 527 nm, respectively. To test your hypothesis, you perform two experiments. First, you apply a signaling ligand known to activate this Gs protein and track yellow fluorescence. Second, you apply the signaling ligand and the purified bacterial toxin simultaneously and track yellow fluorescence. Which of the following conclusion will you draw based on the above experimental data?
The toxin locks the α subunit…

- The 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.arrow_forwardThe G-protein Ras is involved in proliferative signaling, and is mutated is a large fraction of human cancers. Almost all mutations in Ras mutate the glycine at codon 12. These mutations lock Ras in an active conformation. How will the GTPase activity of a Ras protein with a G12 mutation compare to a normal Ras protein without the mutation?

- 3) The “Met" receptor is a membrane receptor protein responsible for initiating signal transduction pathways that cause cells to divide, among other things. After the Met receptor has been stimulated by its specific growth factor, another protein called c- Cbl will bind to the Met receptor. C-Cbl will then attach a chain of small proteins called ubiquitin to the Met receptor. These chains of ubiquitin help the cell recognize that the Met receptor should undergo receptor-mediated endocytosis, which eventually leads to the destruction of the Met receptor. Circle any answer or answers that include mutations that could cause the cell to potentially become a cancer cell. A) a mutation causing there to be too much ubiquitin protein produced. B) a mutation causing c-Cbl to be inactivated. C) a mutation causing ubiquitin to be inactivated. D) a mutation causing there to be too few Met receptors produced. E) a mutation causing the Met receptor to no longer be able to bind to its growth factor.…arrow_forwardCaspase proteins are enzymes known to play a role in programmed cell death (apoptosis) and the inflammatory response. Apoptotic caspases are subcategorized into initiator and executioner caspases. Initiator caspases produce a chain reaction that activates executioner caspases. Caspase 9 is a kind of initiator caspase and caspase 3 is a kind of executioner caspase that plays a direct role in degrading cellular components.Apoptosis can be activated by internal (intrinsic) cellular mechanisms or external (extrinsic) signals. The extrinsic apoptotic pathway begins with the reception of a signal at the death receptors and the intrinsic apoptotic pathway begins with the permeabilization of the mitochondria.

Inflammation is a key response to cell damage or infection, but can, in some diseases, spiral out of control and become more of a problem than the original cause (COVID-19 lung damage is a relevant example...). TNF-α receptors exist on many cell types. Let’s study the interaction between TNF-α (T) and its receptor (R), to form an activated complex C: T + R ↔ C A macrophage is measured to have ~105 TNF-α receptors on its surface. If the macrophage is immersed in a high concentration of TNF-α molecules (i.e. L0 ≅ L), how will the number of activated receptors change over time? Plot this trend for the case L0 =10 nM, kf=106 M-1 min-1, kr=0.1 min-1. There is constant ligand concentration and an initial condition of C0 = 0. We are given the constants needed to model the number of activated receptors over time and can use the following equation:arrow_forward
