Question
Chapter 14, Problem 6P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The effect of alpha subunit of G protein on signaling pathway needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Heterotrimeric globular proteins are comprised of alpha, beta, and gamma subunits. Alpha subunit ties effectively to one of the two guanine subunits, GTP or GDP. Alpha subunit joins with GTP and leaves the other subunits in order to activate secondary messengers.

Cell signaling.
The ER doctors gave a patient an injection of epinephrine to increase his heart rate and blood pressure. The heart rate and blood pressure went up but not enough. The second dose of the same drug seemed not to have an effect. What do you think may be a possible explanation for this result?
Assighment.
Create a diagram which illustrates the typical signalling mechanism of action of
each of the four common classes of receptor (e.g. kinase-linked receptors etc.)
and possible routes of communication (autocrine etc.). Your diagram should
show the specific molecules involved, the mechanisms of signal transduction and
indicate the different pathways that are activated. It should include a specific
example of a receptor, ligand and signalling pathway for each general class.
Include as wide a variety of ligands and modes of action as you can.
For each of the examples describe the mechanism of action in the form below.

More than one answer may be correct. THe graph relating to the information is included below. The figure shows the number of cells that have clusters of IRE1 molecules after those cells are treated with various levels of thapsigargin (Tg), a chemical that can induce ER stress. IRE1 can form these clusters when ER stress is induced and this clustering can cause activation of RNAse activity in IRE1. In this experiment, normal IRE1 was used (IRE1α) that can bind to Sec61, along with a modified version of IRE1 that binds to Sec61 more weakly than normal IRE1 (wIRE1α), and another modified version that binds to Sec61 more strongly than normal IRE1 (sIRE1α). From this figure you can conclude that: Question 18 options: IRE1 binding to Sec61 promotes the formation of IRE1 clumps IRE1 binding to Sec61 prevents the formation of IRE1 clumps co-translational translocation is a key process the golgi aparatus is heavily involved in the unfolded protein response The…arrow_forward
