Chapter 9, Problem 18RQ
How does PKC’s signaling role change in response to growth factor signaling versus an immune response?
- PKC interacts directly with signaling molecules in both cascades, but only exhibits kinase activity during growth factor signaling.
- PKC interacts directly with signaling molecules in growth factor cascades, but interacts with signaling inhibitors during immune signaling.
- PKC amplifies growth factor cascades, but turns off immune cascades.
- PKC is activated during growth factor cascades, but is inactivated during immune response cascades.

Put the following steps for the outline of the growth factor signaling pathway in order:
Map Kinase Kinase is Phosphorylated
Proteins involved in gene transcription are activated
Growth factor binds to its receptor in the cytoplasmic membrane
Receptor recruits adaptor protein and GEF
Autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues on the receptor
Structural change of the receptor activates Tyrosine Kinase
Map Kinase Kinase Kinase is phosphorylated
Ras, a small GTPase, is activated by the exchange of GTP for GDP
Map Kinase is Phosphorylated
Map Kinase enters the nucleus
When epidermal growth factor (EGF)—the ligand for the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)—binds EGFR on the cell surface, the intracellular domain of the receptor changes shape into an "active state.” The receptor then induces a cascade of kinases in the cytoplasm, resulting in the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). One effect of EGFR signaling is the stimulation of cell proliferation. Overactive EGFR is frequently found in cancer cells.
One strategy for developing anticancer drugs is to target the overactive signaling proteins found in cancer cells. Antibodies are proteins made by immune cells that only recognize specific biomolecules, called antigens. The major component of an anticancer drug is an antibody that specifically recognizes and binds EGFR.
Which of the following will most likely happen when this anticancer drug is applied to a tumor that has a high level of EGFR?
Tumor cells with active EGFR will increase and MAPK activity in the tumor will…
When insulin binds to its receptor, a conformational change occurs that results in auto phosphorylation of the receptor on a specific Tyr residues. In the next step of the signaling pathway, an adaptor protein called IRS-1(insulin receptor substrate-1) docks with the phosphorylated receptor. This step is essential for the downstream activation of several kinases including Alk, also known as protein B as well as protein C kinase and GSK-3. Protein kinase 3 is involved in mobilizing GLUT 4 glucose transporters to the plasma membrane and GSK-3 phosphorylates glycogen sunthase.
What would be the effects of a mammalian organism over expressing IRS-1 were also deficient in muscle GAK-3? Would this deficiency be lethal ?

- How does PKC's signaling role change in response to growth factor signaling versus an immune responsearrow_forwardTLRs activate NFkB, AP-1, and IRF transcription factors to induce the expression of inflammatory cytokines and type I interferons. A key feature of TLR signaling is the ability to induce inflammatory cytokine gene expression extremely rapidly following TLR stimulation. This is accomplished by signaling pathways using several mechanisms to activate transcription factors that are already present in the cell prior to TLR stimulation, but are kept in an inactive state. These signaling pathways use all of the following mechanisms EXCEPT: Induced ubiquitination leading to protein degradation Induced ubiquitination inducing protein–protein interactions Induced phosphorylation leading to nuclear translocation Induced phosphorylation leading to kinase activation Induced phosphorylation preventing protein degradationarrow_forwardIn which of the following rows the proteins are involved in the PI3K pathway in the insulin receptor signaling? 1) PI3K, MEK and GSK 2) PI3K, PDK1 and PKB 3) PI3K, PKG and Raf 4) PI3K, PDK1 and GSK 5) Grb2, SOS, and Rasarrow_forward
