Phosphatidylethanolamine and PIP2 containing identical fatty acyl residues can be hydrolyzed with the same efficiency by a certain phospholipase C. Will the hydrolysis products of the two lipids have the same effect on protein kinase C? Explain.
If intracellular [ATP] = 5 mM, [ADP] = 0.5 mM, and [Pi] = 1.0 mM, calculate the concentration of AMP at pH 7 and 25°C under the condition that the adenylate kinase reaction is at equilibrium.
In Figure 4C, we see the inhibition of LRRK2 kinase activity by nanobody 1 (Nb1). Using the Lineweaver-Burke plot, estimate the Km of LRRK2 in the absence of Nb1. Show your work and provide your answer with the correct units.

- Histamine binds to the H1 G-protein-linked receptor to initiate the itchiness and airway constriction associated with an allergic response. If a mutation in the associated G-protein’s alpha subunit prevented the hydrolysis of GTP how would the allergic response change? More severe allergic response compared to normal G-protein signaling. Less severe allergic response compared to normal G-protein signaling. No allergic response. No change compared to normal G-protein signaling.arrow_forwardPay close attention to the information related to figure 3.14a and the structure of the PKA catalytic site in this figure. In a few well-written sentences, propose the following: A mutation that would result in PKA becoming a dead kinase*. A mutation that would result in PKA becoming a constitutively active** kinase.arrow_forwardSubstrate binding causes dimerization of tyrosine kinase receptors.

- Functional and structural analysis indicates that Gleevec is an ATPcompetitive inhibitor of the Bcr-Abl kinase. In fact, many kinase inhibitors under investigation or currently marketed as drugs are ATP competitive. Can you suggest a potential drawback of drugs that utilize this particular mechanism of action?arrow_forwardCrystal structures exist for three neurokinin-1 (NK1) ligand complexes with the following pdb codes (6hll, 6hlo, 6hlp) For each of the three crystal structures identify four amino acids in the NK1 binding site that contact the ligand indicating both the residue type in three letter code and the residue number. One of the chose amino acids should form a hydrogen binding interaction to the ligand, state which functional group the amino acid utilises in each casearrow_forwardThe insulin receptor, on dimerization, cross-phosphorylates the activation loop of the other receptor molecule, leading to activation of the kinase. Propose how this phosphorylation event can take place if the kinase starts in an inactive conformation.arrow_forward
- Inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase, such as edrophonium, are used to treat Alzheimer’s disease. The substrate for acetylcholinesterase is acetylcholine. Structures are attached. What kind of inhibitor is edrophonium? Explain. Can inhibition by edrophonium be overcome in vitro by increasing the substrate concentration? Explain. Does this inhibitor bind reversibly or irreversibly to the enzyme? Explain.arrow_forwardIon channel-coupled receptors • G-protein-coupled receptors • Enzyme-linked receptors • Briefly describe what a G-protein is (explain by using the words GTPase, GTP and GDT) • Briefly describe how a G-protein-coupled receptor for the signal / information further into • Briefly describe how an enzyme-linked receptor carries the signal / information further into the cell.arrow_forwardEGTA is a chelating agent that binds to Ca2+ with a high affinity and specificity.

- Why is it important that the hexokinase reaction have a large negative deltaG? Would the cell be able to generate/store energy if the deltaG were close to zero? The GAPDH reaction uses an active site cysteine to catalyze the reaction. How would replacing the cysteine by serine affect the reaction? Why do kinases require magnesium to function well?arrow_forwardReceptor tyrosine kinases such as the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor can basically be broken down into three domains: (1) An extracellular, ligand binding domain, (2) A transmembrane domain that must cross through the cell membrane, and (3) an intracellular domain. Match the amino acid with the domain that it would MOST LIKELY be associated with. Lysine (choose (1), (2), or (3) from above) A tyrosine residue capable of being phosphorylated on its hydroxyl group (choose (1), (2), or (3) from above) Isoleucine (choose (1), (2), or (3) from above)arrow_forwardThe enzyme mutase which is important for the synthetic of tyrosine and phenylalanine in saccharomyces cerevisiae has been studied as an example of an allosteric enzyme. Tyrosine acts as a negative effector for this enzyme. What effects would you see on the action of the enzyme were you to increase the concentration of tyrosine? The chorismate mutase would shift to its R conformation The curve showing the kinetics or chorismate mutase would shift to the right The curve showing the kinetics of chorismate mutase would shift to the left The chorismate mutase would become saturated more rapidlyarrow_forward
