Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 5RQ
What property prevents the ligands of cell-surface receptors from entering the cell?
- The molecules bind to the extracellular domain.
- The molecules are hydrophilic and cannot penetrate the hydrophobic inferior of the plasma membrane.
- The molecules are attached to transport proteins that deliver them through the bloodstream to target cells.
- The ligands are able to penetrate the membrane and directly influence gene expression upon receptor binding.

Gene expression is the process by which DNA directs the synthesis of proteinsarrow_forwardYou are researching the regulation of cell-size control and discover that a signaling pathway that acts through a particular enzyme-coupled receptor is important for the size growth (enlargement) of rat kidney cells. Receptor activation causes activation of adenylyl cyclase, which ultimately leads to the activation of PKA. PKA then phosphorylates a transcription factor called BTS on threonine 84. This phosphorylation is required to allow BTS to bind to specific regulatory DNA sequences, increasing the transcription of Zrt2, a gene encoding a protein vital for kidney cell growth. You find that kidney cells without this receptor are 25% smaller than normal cells. When you measure cells expressing a constitutively active version of PKA, you find they are 25% bigger than normal kidney cells. Based on these results, predict whether a kidney cell’s size would be bigger or smaller than normal kidney cells in each of the following circumstances. Explain why in 1-2 sentences for each.
