Summary Introduction
To review:
The location of the receptor protein for different regulatory molecules.
Introduction:
Receptors are the chemical structures which are composed of protein. The receptors receive and transduce signals into and out of the cell. There are three categories of cell surface receptors: ion channel linked receptors, G (G stands for guanine-

- Explain Cofilinarrow_forwardLigand binding to proteins may occur with varying strengths; some ligands bind tightly to proteins while others bind less tightly. The strengths of reversible binding are determined experimentally by varying concentrations of ligands, and measuring the saturation of the protein in the various ligand concentrations. One such laboratory study investigated the binding of a hormone to three different receptor proteins in the cell membrane. The data collected are shown in the table below: 1) Provide a brief explanation as to why ligand binding to proteins must be a reversible process. 2) Calculate the dissociation constant (Kd) for the hormone binding to each of the three proteins.arrow_forwardLigand binding to proteins may occur with varying strengths; some ligands bind tightly to proteins while others bind less tightly.

Endothelin activates G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) ETA or ETB on a target cell. Which subunit of heterotrimeric G protein is released when the receptor is activated? a.) gamme b.) beta c.) alphaarrow_forward
- Describe the common architecture of G protein-coupled receptors.

Please explain how G protein interacts with this receptor. B) Please explain the kind of reactions that follow binding a specific ligand to a G protein coupled receptor. What do these reactions do in the cell? C) How do these reactions work in the cell. What is the function of these reactions in the cell? How do the reactions proceed?arrow_forwardAn SH2-containing protein contains a mutation that changes its binding pocket such that tyrosine and phosphotyrosine bind with equal affinity. As a result, MEK activity: does not change with receptor dimerization and transautophosphorylation decreases due to changes in Raf activation increases with ligand binding-induced dimerization decreases due to allosteric inhibition of SH2-domain bindingarrow_forward
