Question
Chapter 50.4, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To predict: Whether a mutation in the mice have acted in the signaling pathway that had disrupted its ability to taste bitter, umami and sweet, but not salty and sour.
Concept introduction: Animals utilize their senses (chemical) for various purpose like recognizing the territory (marked), finding mates and navigating at the time of migration and in many other things. In all the animals, for the purpose of feeding behavior, chemical senses are essential. Perceptions of taste (gustation) depends upon the chemoreceptors.

- The hypothesis for the experiment shown in the picture is that the TamC3 and TamR3 cell lines function, and grow the absence of estrogen, receptor function. Reduced reliance on estrogen, receptor signaling alters mTOR pathway activity. If this hypothesis is true, then mediators of mTOR signaling (Akt or p70S6K) should have reduced levels of phosphorylation. Where would you look to see this?
