To propose a hypothesis: How steroid and thyroid hormone receptor encode genes that evolved.
Concept introduction:
Endocrine cells secrete hormones into the extracellular fluids, which are signaling molecules. The secreted hormones reach target cells through the bloodstream. Hormones bind only to specific cells based on the corresponding receptors and they act through the chemical signals. They maintain homeostasis and regulate growth, development, blood pressure,
Both thyroid and steroid hormones are lipid soluble hormones, they can diffuse plasma membrane and bind to transport proteins inside the cells and also they bind to the cytoplasmic receptors. Both the receptors have structural similarities and they are from nuclear receptor “superfamily” of proteins. The steroid/thyroid receptor isoforms may be evolved from the same gene by post-translational modifications or splicing.

What is the purpose of having a specific receptor for estrogen within the cell? The estrogen receptor binding domain has many known mutations that effect estrogen binding and result in breast cancer. One particular mutation found at aspartic acid is changed to glycine in cancer patients. Draw a potential interaction with the side chain of this aspartic acid with estrogen (name and label it) and how a mutation to glycine could affect this ability to efficiently bind to estrogen. 6.arrow_forward
- Can I get help on creating a concept map for the Introduction provided below? The development of a multicellular organ (such as the brain) from stem cells involves complicated processing.1,2 Proliferating stem cells undergo the fate decision process before developing into tissues or organs. This process is controlled and regulated by a signaling pathway network (called gene regulatory network).3 The network comprises pathways created by the intrinsic and extrinsic factors of the cells, which form the signal transduction to control stem cell fate. There are various signal pathways that have been discovered and studied for tissue development and patterning, including Wnt signaling,4 Notch, and receptor tyrosine kinase.5–7 It has been suggested that cross-regulatory interactions between elements of the pathways (e.g., Wnt and Notch) affect the process of cell fate assignment.8,9 Most components of Wnt signaling have multiple interactions with other signaling pathways (e.g., Hippo/YAP and…arrow_forward1. steroid hormones bind receptors in the cytosol and carry them to the nucleus where they regulate gene expression - TRUE OR FALSE 2.
