The action of the following signal molecules: 1) mTOR 2) SREBP-1C 3) PDK1 4) TSH 5) Interleukin Introduction: Many living organisms have special metabolic processes to regulate and adapt themselves according to the environment. This is done with the help of various intercellular communications taking place inside the cell. These communications help in maintaining the balance between the anabolic and catabolic processes. This is known as cell signaling andis guided by various signaling molecules, such as amino acids, fatty acid derivatives, peptides, proteins, or steroids. These molecules bind to specific receptors and cause signal transduction.

QUESTION NO. 1 Cystic fibrosis is a frequent generic disease of Caucasians. The CF gene codes for a protein called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) which functions as a cAMP-regulated chloride channel. The protein has two membrane-spanning domains, two domains that interact with ATP, and one regulatory domain. The most common defect is in the gene for one of the ATP binding domains. The result is a protein that does not fold correctly in the endoplasmic reticulum, is not properly glycosylated, and is nor transported to the cell surface. Rather, it is degraded in the cytosol within proteasomes. Drugs that foster chaperone interaction with the mutant protein are a potential therapeutic approach. Chaperones A. are always required to direct the folding of proteins. B. when bound to protein increase the rate of protein degradation. C. usually bind to strongly hydrophilic regions of unfolded proteins. D. sometimes maintain proteins in an…
