The affinity of integrins for matrix components canbe modulated by changes to their cytoplasmic domains:a process known as inside-out signaling. You have iden-tified a key region in the cytoplasmic domains of αIIbβ3integrin that seems to be required for inside-out signaling(Figure Q19–3). Substitution of alanine for either D723in the β chain or R995 in the α chain leads to a high levelof spontaneous activation, under conditions where thewild-type chains are inactive. Your advisor suggests thatyou convert the aspartate in the β chain to an arginine(D723R) and the arginine in the α chain to an aspartate(R995D). You compare all three α chains (R995, R995A,and R995D) against all three β chains (D723, D723A, andD723R). You find that all pairs have a high level of sponta-neous activation, except D723 vs R995 (the wild type) andD723R vs R995D, which have low levels. Based on theseresults, how do you think the αIIbβ3 integrin is held in itsinactive state?
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…
