Chapter 32, Problem 18P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the difficulty in verifying the G-protein independent signaling in the experiment needs to be explained.
Introduction:
Cell signaling directs elementary cellular actions and coordinates cell actions. Cell signaling might help diseases to be treated efficiently and treatments created.

- 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_forwardWorking out the order in which the individual components in a signaling pathway act is an essential step in defining the pathway. Imagine that two protein kinases, PK1 and PK2, act sequentially in a kinase cascade. When either kinase is completely inactivated, cells do not respond to the normal extracellular signal. By contrast, cells containing a mutant form of PK1 that is permanently active respond even in the absence of an extracellular signal. Double mutant cells that contain inactivated PK2 and permanently active PK1 respond in the absence of a signal. Draw out the signaling pathway in a wild-type cell. What outcome is predicted for a double mutant cell with an activating mutation in PK2 and an inactivating mutation in PK1? Explain your reasoningarrow_forwardCTP inhibits ATCase; however, the inhibition is not complete. Can you suggest another molecule that might enhance the inhibition of ATCase?arrow_forward
- Lithium ion, which is used to treat bipolar disorder, interferes with the phosphoinositide signaling pathway by inhibiting enzymes such as inositol monophosphatase and inositol polyphosphate 1-phosphatase. Predict the eff ect of Li+ on the supply of cellular inositol, a precursor of phosphatidylinositol and PIP2.arrow_forwardHistamine 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_forwardWith the aid of diagrams describe the signalling pathway involving inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate from ligand binding to intracellular effects (65%). In your answer explain how it is synthesised from the membrane phospholipid and, excluding receptor agonists, provide two examples of drugs that modulate activity in the pathway (35%).arrow_forward
- Explain how can cAMP’s activation of a single molecule, cAMPdependent protein kinase, be common to the great variety of biochemical sequences and cell responses initiated by cAMP-generating first messengers?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_forwardRTKs are receptors made of an extracellular ligand binding domain and an intracellular kinase domain (see image). Insulin binds to its RTK Insulin receptor, causing an increase in glucose absorption and storage in liver cells. EGF binds to its own RTK, EGFR and promotes cell growth through the Ras pathway. a) Explain why the same type of tyrosine kinase in two RTKs can lead to very different cellular responses. Give an example of potential cellular outputs for each of these two RTKs.arrow_forward

Outline the steps of receptor-mediated endocytosis, including the roles for each proteininvolved. Hint: if your answer does not include the protein dynamin, you are notproviding enough detail. b. What will happen to Patched after it enters the cell via receptor-mediated endocytosis?Assume that Patched is not recycled back to the plasma membrane.arrow_forwardDescribe the intracellular, biochemical downstream signal cascade that results from the binding of menthol to TRPM8arrow_forward
